Jennylyn Mercado and Nikki Gil are both doing special appearances in the Viva Films movie, “Moron 5 and the Crying Lady.” And, obviously, all for love.
Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford, the loves of Jennylyn and Nikki, respectively, topbill “Moron 5.” The two play morons, along with Marvin Agustin, DJ Durano and Martin Escudero.
Nikki is, of course, a Kapamilya like Luis and Billy. Jennylyn is with GMA.
Also in the cast of the comedy movie, by blockbuster director Wenn Deramas, is John “Sweet” Lapus, who plays the crying lady.

Speaking of Luis, he denies he is running for Lipa City mayor in 2012.
The position was occupied by his mom, Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, for three terms.
But Luis is not discounting the possibility of turning politician. Not only because it is in his blood (his dad, Edu Manzano was formerly vice mayor of Makati), but he is inclined to it. Just like his parents, he wants to be of service to his fellowmen. His way of paying back, he added, for whatever success he and his family are enjoying now.
Right now, however, Luis said he wants to concentrate on his showbiz career. He is doing well in both his hosting and acting jobs. Currently, he is hosting the game show, “Deal or No Deal.”
Sundays, he co-hosts with Sarah Geronimo, the musical program, “Sarah G. Live.”
Right after the showing of “Moron 5” there are talks that he might also do a series for ABS-CBN.
