“It’s Your Lucky Day” host Luis Manzano earned praise from netizens on Monday, Oct. 16, for his inclusivity.
In a video that gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), he interacted with a hard of hearing studio audience member using sign language and told the latter to dance.
“Direk, sorry, kasi gusto ko lahat ng Ka-Lucky natin involved. May tumatawag sakin kanina pa na isang Ka-Lucky na kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay medyo may konting problema po sa pandinig,” Manzano said in an episode of the noontime gameshow “It’s Your Lucky Day.”
Ang galing mo Luis mag sign language because it awareness at advocacy talaga sa buhay nila eh respect!!! 🫡🫡🫡 @luckymanzano #TodayItsYourLuckyDay#ItsYourLuckyDay

The 42-year-old "Pambansang host" asked the program staffs to hand over a ₱1,000 to the hard of hearing studio audience member.
Manzano then quoted the viral video, saying that he hoped the audience member understood even if his sign language was far from perfect.
“Far from perfect, baka maraming mali but i hope Lester understood naman,” his caption read.
