Bianca Manalo Called Out for Allegedly Targetting Politicians
If one is a celebrity, one usually has bashers as well as fans. In the case of Bianca Manalo, the former beauty queen was labelled a “politician hunter” by some because she is currently in relationship with one, as well as having had romantic linkages to those who have a political career in the past.
Manalo is a former beauty queen and her current flame is Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. Her ex-boyfriend is Antique Mayor Jonathan Tan.
Because of this, her motives are being questioned. Some see her well-connected men, past and present, as products of coincidence, while others see her as an opportunistic woman.
During the first part of 2019, gossip about the romantic relationship of Manalo and Gatchalian populated showbiz news sites after their photo together came out.
Social media and tradition media swooped in like vultures on every piece of gossip pertaining to their alleged romantic relationship, specifically on what happened during their time together in Hong Kong. The speculation about the relationship of Manalo and Gatchalian continued to grab the public’s attention and on November that year, according to a report, they celebrated their first anniversary.
Manalo first rose to popularity in 2009 when she was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Universe and represented the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant. She entered the world of show business and became an actress, appearing in a number of movies and television series.
However, the public also knew her as a woman who’s had relationships with multiple politicians. Her connection with Mayor Tan became public after they got involved in a boat accident together with actress Ehra Madrigal, which became the fodder for gossip and speculation about what they mean to each other.
After Manalo and Tan went their separate ways, Madrigal’s photo with Senator Gatchalian while they were shopping in Hong Kong spread like wildfire throughout social media. This sparked again the public’s interest regarding her relationship with politicians.
Bianca Manalo’s label as a “politician hunter” gave birth to many questions. Some may just think of this as a joke, but there are others who view this as being opportunistic.
