Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford are all set to host ‘Panahon Ko ‘To’

ABS-CBN.com got the chance to visit Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano on the set of their very own game show, Panahon Ko ‘To. The two were very happy to be given another hosting stint right after the success of Pilipinas Got Talent. “Sabi ko nga bihira ka makahanap ng partner mo sa hosting na pareho kayong lalaki. Usually kasi makikita mo either solo or babae’t lalaki. Siyempre ‘pag parehong lalaki nand’yan yung ideas ni’yo magka-clash. So bihira yung ultimo kulitan niyo, saluhan niyo, nandun. So we're very happy na ganon nangyari sa amin ni Billy boy. The fact that we’re having fun at work, na-translate yun sa TV kaya nae-enjoy ng viewers namin,” Luis began.

What makes Panahon Ko ‘To different is that it’s an original Kapamilya game show where each competing team is comprised of three players of varying ages. “Kailangan mayroong medyo mas nakakatanda, may isang bata, may nasa gitna. Our questions would cover areas from the 1960s to the millennium. Kung sino ang representative ng team, siya ang makakasagot. Kaya buong pamilya pwedeng manood ng Panahon Ko ‘To kasi it’s all about reminiscing about the good times at saka historical din in a way. You also learn new things about music, movies, games sa Facebook…everything and anything na pinagdadaanan ni’yo,” Billy explained.

Luis is confident that he and Billy will be able to pull off this show since they are both knowledgeable with pop culture given the nature of their line of work. “Siyempre marami na rin naman kaming pinagdaanan sa buhay and it's safe to say na well-versed naman kami sa nangyayari sa paligid (i.e. latest trends today and what was popular way back when). Pero nakakagulat din yung iba naming nadi-discover while hosting the show. Tsaka iba kasi ang franchise sa original. Siyempre kahit papa’no mas iniingatan yung original kasi bagong-bago unlike yung Pilipinas Got Talent meron na silang sinusunod na format. So we’re really grateful to be given this big a blessing.”

Will there be any conflict with their schedule since Pilipinas Got Talent will be launching a new season probably before the year ends? “Like what I’ve said sa very, very last spiel ko dun sa Results Night ng Pilipinas Got Talent, magkikita-kita pa rin tayo ulit sa season 2. And hindi naman siguro mag-overlap yun sa Panahon Ko ‘To. ABS-CBN knows better. Kumbaga ito (Panahon Ko ‘To) na yung pahinga namin from Pilipinas Got Talent. In the same way na of course mga latter part siguro of this year uumpisahang i-mount yung season 2,” Luis stated.
