Kapamilya host Alex Gonzaga was caught in hot water after throwing a sarcastic comment to showbiz friend Luis Manzano

Alex jokingly asked for the price of Luis’ PMPC Star Award
Alex Gonzaga is now a subject of controversy among the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) people after her allegedly ‘insulting’ remark to Luis Manzano.
The younger Gonzaga hosted the 33rd PMPC Star Awards last Sept. 3 at Resorts World Manila where her friend and fellow artist Luis Manzano won the ‘Darling of the Press’ award.
She caught flack after jokingly asking the actor “Magkano mo nabili ang award mo?,” to which Luis sarcastically replied “180.”
However, those present in the event disdained the exchange.
Alex’s ‘joke’ quickly made waves not only at PMPC but also to netizens, prompting them to inquire why Gonzaga was even chosen to host the Awards show.
Others reacted the opposite, praising Alex for going upfront to say what’s on her mind. Unknow to everyone, a conversation like this is just typical for both Alex and Luis.
Last June, Luis Manzano posted on his Instagram screenshots of phone conversations between him and Alex, where he told her that he saw Alex with non-showbiz boyfriend Mikee Yambao having an affair with another woman.
“Alam mo naman @cathygonzaga sa yo loyalty ko, para alam mo lang about @mikee_mo . Di ko akalain, di man lang tinago, full smile pa,” Luis captioned.
This caught the netizens and the media’s attention, but Luis quickly backtracked the issue after revealing that he was just pranking Alex with a proof showing her that the Mikee he saw was just a poster of him.
