Lucas Cabrera is undeniably one of the worst -- but effective -- characters in FPJ's "Ang Probinsyano. Played by the veteran actor, Edu Manzano, Lucas made us curse, howl, and even surprisingly sad now that he has left the show, we somehow feel bad about his passing. With everything that had happened because of his greed and hunger for power, Lucas Cabrera served as one of the biggest plot points for one of the longest prime time shows in ABS-CBN.
And so, after Mark Anthony Fernandez and Jhong Hilario, Edu Manzano also graced an interview with Coco Martin Productions to talk about his character and how his experience with 'Ang Probinsyano' changed his life.
If you think about it, the 63-year-old actor couldn't have anything else to ask for, especially since he has been in our television sets for decades. But Edu, being very humble, expressed his gratitude for Coco Martin and the rest of the management for "Ang Probinsyano" for giving him another big break even at his age. He happily recalled that even in his hometown in San Juan, Edu was being called as "Lucas" or "President Cabrera" by bystanders.
Edu disclosed that the project was given to him by Coco Martin even after he was initially engaged in another project. He was surprised that Coco still offered him the job, when he believed that the younger actor might have already forgotten about it. In 3 weeks after saying yes, the creative team was able to come up with a story line for Vice President Lucas Cabrera, who ascended into power and became the president of the country in the series.
Because of his consistency and kind heart, Edu praised Coco Martin. He wished Coco continued success so that he may continue to help people and bring good entertainment in the country.
More than the crazy scenes and long nights, Edu Manzano said that there's a sense of community not just with the cast of FPJAP, but with the crew as well.
