Jose Manalo’s Dating Rumors and Past Controversy
People have been talking about Jose Manalo and former EB Babe Mergene Maranan for a while, wondering if they were a couple. However, it’s not clear if they actually dated. Also, Jose Manalo faced some criticism for a controversy in the past. Before all this, he was married to Anna Lyn Santos Manalo.
Their marriage didn’t work out, and they separated. In 2012, Anna complained about the comedian, accusing him of verbal and emotional abuse. Anna mentioned in a written statement that the mistreatment began in 2011, but Jose denied everything. He also stated that he supported his kids financially or in other ways.
However, in late 2013, Jose’s daughter took legal action against him for not providing financial support. This lack of support led her to leave school, and she even tried to take her own life. Despite these serious allegations, Jose continued to deny any wrongdoing.
The Court of Appeals has reaffirmed its decision, absolving Filipino noontime show host Jose Manalo of any financial responsibility for debts incurred by his estranged wife, Annalyn Manalo.
