On September 4, talent manager-director Johnny M. Manahan admitted he thought he was getting ‘rusty’ in handling TV shows.
At the media event for ‘The Voice Generations,’ which LionhearTV covered, Manahan noted that while he had apprehensions about getting ‘rusty’ as a director, he had fun working on the set of the Kapuso TV show.
“Masayang-masaya ako kasi nga ang tagal na nga non, na hindi ako gumawa ng TV show na parang ganon kalaki. Parang kinakalawang ang utak ko, but most importantly, I had fun doing it.
“And I hope, everybody– everyone liked it, parang ganon naman may feedback ako na maganda naman ‘yung ginawa namin. And I’m so happy just to be doing a show like that for GMA Network.”
He then appreciated how GMA Network gave him the opportunity to helm a show after three years.
“Masarap, may tatlong taon na hindi ako nakahawak sa kahit ano mang show. And pagdating pa nito, wow, salamat kay Gigi, sa TV production, si Lilybeth, and sa lahat ng mga boss na umokay sila na ako ‘yung titimon ng The Voice. And salamat sa lahat ng naniniwala sa akin.”
He also responded to netizens’ praising the production value of ‘The Voice Generations.’
“Ay salamat naman nagustuhan nila. Akala ko kinakalawang na ‘yung sistema ko pero parang sumasakay lang sa biskleta ika nga na kapag nakasakay ka ng minsan babalik lahat ‘yun sayo ‘yung pagkakayahan. So I’m glad that people liked the show. Binigay ko lahat ng kaalaman ko, ‘yung puso ko doon sa show.”
The Voice Generations features judges and coaches Billy Crawford, Chito Miranda, Julie Anne San Jose, and Stell Ajero of SB19.
Hosted by Dingdong Dantes and under the direction of Manahan, ‘The Voice Generations’ began on August 27, with new episodes every Sunday, 7 PM on GMA Network.
