The new parent-kid reality show of GMA-7 Anak Ko Yan (That's My Baby), hosted by Jennylyn Mercado, will directly compete with Luis Manzano's game show Minute to Win It on ABS-CBN. The two programs will literally clash since both will be shown on the same timeslot.

Jennylyn Mercado posted on Instagram a screenshot of Luis Manzano's comment about her earlier post on the timeslot of her new show Anak Ko Yan. 

"Announcement… Dahil nag decide ang management na ipagtapat an minute to win it sa anak ko yan….Nag decide rin kami ni @mercadojenny na i unfollow ang isa’t isa at wag na muna magusap habang umeere mga show namin, hope you understand… :p hehe," Luis said.

The screenshot was captioned by Jennylyn: "Yes... Wala munang i love you, i miss you, lambingan, hug at kung ano ano pa. Di muna siguro kami rin magkikita muna at maguusap. (Pero kami [pa] rin syempre) yun lang muna sa ngayon. Hope you understand. @luckymanzano."

Jennylyn in her interviews said that she told Luis about the impending clash between their shows. She also said that they just love to joke around but both support each other no matter what. She also assured that there will be a healthy competition between them.

We will see in the coming days on who will emerge victorious between the two and their competing programs. One thing is for sure though--Jennylyn is the winner in Luis' heart.

Jennylyn Mercado Plays on Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal

Kapuso actress Jennylyn Mercado set foot on ABS-CBN grounds Thursday, April 12 for her guesting in the game show Kapamilya Deal or No Deal hosted by her boyfriend Luis Manzano. 

Her guest appearance on the game show is one of Jennylyns’s gifts to her boyfriend, who will celebrate his 32nd birthday on April 21.

Jennylyn Mercado was introduced by Luis Manzano as someone very close to his heart. Being a guest player in Deal or No Deal, Jennylyn had the chance to bring her friends, mother and Alex Jazz, her son with actor Patrick Garcia. 

Since Jennylyn came from rival network GMA-7, she was very nervous on her first take inside ABS-CBN studios.

“Syempre different station, so medyo iba ‘yung feeling, kinakabahan, nakakapanibago. Iba ‘yung mga taong nakakasalubong mo,” Jennylyn said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

“Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ‘tong nerbyos na ito,” she said, when asked by boyfriend Luis Manzano how she feels being on the show.

This Saturday, Princess and I lead stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla will be answering the question "Is it a deal or no deal?" The said episode was taped last March and the kilig KathNiel tandem will surely spice up the Saturday evening.

In the teaser, Daniel said, "Pinapatagal ko lang (yung pagpili/game) para makasama ko 'to (referring to Kathryn who's beside him).

Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal airs every Saturday on ABS-CBN after TV Patrol Weekend.
