Veteran actor and rising political voice Edu Manzano and his partner, technology entrepreneur Ann Cuisia, both longtime friends and former PGMN anchors, have brought their respective expertise in politics and technology to their new “BOSsES Podcast,” which has accumulated nearly 700,000 YouTube views.
Carrying the tagline “Ang Boss, May Boses,” the podcast describes its stance as “Pro-people, not pro-politician. No colors. Just truth,” featuring discussions on governance, economic challenges, public accountability, and issues affecting Filipinos.
Just months after its launch, the podcast has already welcomed a star-studded lineup of guests, including PGMN Anchor and former Cavite 4th District Rep. Kiko Barzaga, PGMN Anchor Orion Perez Dumdum, comedian-lawyer Atty. Ed Chico, and Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco.
Manzano, an award-winning actor and former Makati vice mayor who also chaired the Optical Media Board, has become increasingly vocal about Philippine politics and the responsibility of voters in shaping the country’s leadership.
His political views reached a broader audience through PGMN, particularly in the episode “Voters Without Self-Respect Decide Who Runs Our Country. Enough is Enough.” The discussion examined repeated voting trends and encouraged Filipinos to reassess the standards they use when selecting public officials.
Cuisia, meanwhile, became known as PGMN’s first Tech Anchor. As founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of TraXion Tech Inc., she brings extensive experience in financial technology, blockchain, digital governance, and financial inclusion.
Her PGMN episodes examined government technology initiatives, including DICT transparency portals, PhilHealth and SSS digital systems, and the proposed CADENA Act.
She also discussed the evolution of Senator Bam Aquino’s proposed budget transparency legislation, emphasizing the importance of traceable government transactions, verifiable records, and accountability beyond the use of blockchain technology.
PGMN also served as a platform where Manzano and Cuisia openly introduced their relationship to the public. In May 2026, the network featured the couple in “PGMN’s First Couple Edu Manzano and Ann Cuisia Share Their Love Story for the First Time!”, giving viewers a more personal look at their partnership.
Now, through BOSsES Podcast, the couple continue exploring national issues alongside guests from different professional backgrounds.
BOSsES Podcast has approximately 57,000 Facebook followers and 6,690 YouTube subscribers, with 26 videos published on its YouTube channel.
Recent episodes explore employment challenges, transparency in the national budget, and artificial intelligence’s potential impact on Filipino jobs.
For Manzano and Cuisia, their latest platform continues the public conversations they became known for as PGMN anchors, combining their professional expertise, personal partnership, and shared interest in issues affecting ordinary Filipinos.
