After his hit "World's Greatest Dance Steps," actor-TV host Edu Manzano is back with a follow-up dance album, "Dance From The Universe."
Due to insistent public demand, and after the success of his first dance album under Universal Records, he decided to come up with "Dance with the Universe" CD.
"We didn't think na magiging ganoon katagumpay yung first one. At noong nag-third platinum na, Universal Records said na gumawa tayo ng follow up," he said.
Even if they do not think the compositions will reach the success of the first album's hit song "Papaya", Manzano said still they are trying to find at least one track that could somehow tickle the ears and feet of the public.
"Tama na yung sabihin na 'Oy ang galing!," he added.
The songs included in the CD are a combination of rehashed and original compositions. Some were rearranged by DJ MOD.
The chief of the Optical Media Board also said that his latest album was recorded to make people smile and want to dance.
"It's a happy album. The idea there is, once people hear the songs, they will make them smile," he said.
Happy Birthday
Manzano, who is the host of ABS-CBN's game show "Pilipinas GKNB", is also set to mark his birthday this coming September 14.
The actor said that he could not wish for more since he almost has everything he needs.
"You know, I thought about it this morning pero wala akong maisip," he said "I realized that I'm so lucky with my children and I don't need anything else."
Manzano, who is a father of three, said he always finds time to talk to his kids. He is also happy and inspired by the special woman in his life.
"I have a wonderful woman who takes good care of me, and alam naman ng lahat yan. I'm just trying to enjoy what's left of my life," he said.
Manzano said his previous relationships have enriched his life in many ways. "My point of view is that, be the best that you are and the best will come true."
On 2010 polls
Manzano also dismissed reports that he will be running in the next senatorial election. Although he's been invited by some political parties, he said committing to politics and public service needs to be weighed seriously.
"It's always a consideration, but we have to make sure that all the factors are present. I mean, you don't just run for the sake of running. You have to be there because you actually want to do something," he said.
"Hindi por que, it's fashionable, dahil maganda tignan na mayroon kang Senador before your name. At mahirap naman yung tatakbo na wala ka namang gagawin kung hindi nakaupo ka lang diyan and then enjoy the perks of the office. You have to be there for work," he explained.
Manzano is also regular host of ABS-CBN's morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda".
