Speaking to members of the media, Carancho maintained that Smith remains the same respectful and kind person he first met before she became one of today's most talked-about personalities.
Carancho also looked back on how Smith first became part of Mannix Management. According to him, she and her group regularly visited the company's talent house to create online content before eventually deciding to stay there for several months.
“Bumibisita po sila sa talent house (Mannix Management’s headquarters). Nagko-content po sila [in the studio within the talent house]. Nagustuhan po namin sila at nagustuhan din nila ang environment. Hindi po namin sila pinipilit. Ganoon po ang nangyari. Nag-stay din siya ng ilang months doon (talent house).”

He explained that the talent house serves as a safe environment where artists live, train, create content, and attend workshops designed to prepare them for bigger opportunities.
“We have our own talent house where our artists live and stay. We create content, train people, and hold workshops there. Each artist has their own room. It is a safe environment in which we train artists.”
Carancho said he recognized Smith's potential from the very beginning.
“Nakitaan ko po siya ng potential. Talagang malayo ang mararating ng batang ito.”
When asked about critics who claim Smith has changed because of her success, the talent manager firmly rejected the accusation.
“Kapag nakilala n’yo na siya, wala kang masasabing masama sa kanya.”
He went on to describe Smith as someone whose personality has remained consistent despite her growing fame.
“Napakabait na bata. Napakaayos. Talented. Magaling siyang makisama. Hanggang ngayon, ganoon pa rin po siya. Kung sino po siya noon ay same pa rin ngayon. Napakamarespeto.”
Beyond managing Smith, Carancho also handles several well-known Facebook and TikTok creators, including Miss Q&A 2026 grand finalist Andrea Lim, Zaidee Diaz, Chona Vibes, Riri Navarro, Merfect, and other digital personalities.
He believes content creators deserve the same level of professional guidance traditionally given to actors and actresses, saying proper training and patience can eventually help them transition into mainstream entertainment.
“Some people are unaware that content creators on Facebook and TikTok have managers, believing that only actresses and actors do. We see managing content creators as valuable and future-ready. Because I believe that with the right training and workshops, these content creators can break into mainstream showbiz. They are incredibly talented. But I always remind them that it will take time. They need to be patient.”
Fyang Smith is a popular Filipino actress, content creator, and social media influencer who shot to national fame after being crowned the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 in 2024. Building on her massive digital following and distinct, unfiltered personality, she has quickly transitioned into a rising mainstream talent under Star Magic, starring in various television series, movies, and major brand endorsements.
In another report, Fyang Smith denied claims that she had ever pretended about her feelings toward JM Ibarra. The actress explained that she naturally expresses her emotions both on and off camera and admitted that she easily gets “kilig.” She also shared that she prefers spending her free time at home whenever she has no work, saying it helps her maintain personal boundaries.
Meanwhile, Fyang Smith and JM Ibarra are set to attend Star Magical Prom: The Future together after the Kapamilya actor surprised her with a yacht promposal at the Manila Yacht Club. Fyang revealed that the event would mark her very first prom experience since she was unable to attend her junior and senior high school proms. A Star Magic video capturing the emotional promposal quickly made the rounds online and delighted many of the pair's fans.
