Angel Locsin Not Yet Officially Committed To Phil Younghusband

IF JOHN LLOYD CRUZ admits he’s officially on again with Shaina, Angel Locsin says the title of their movie is very apt for her relationship with Phil Younghusband as they’re still unofficially on.

“Ayaw naming pilitin kundi pa talagang naaayon,” she says. “But ultimately, we want to make it official. As of now, I must admit, may confusion, kasi when you ask me kung kami na ba, hindi ko pa talaga alam. Wala kaming mga monthsary or anniversary. All I can say is may love, but yung official label or status, it’s still a big question mark. Hindi pa namin napag-uusapan ang lahat and we don’t want to rush things.” Read, Phil Younghusband proud of Angel Locsin.

How does that sit with Phil? “Okay naman sa kanya. Useless namang madaliin kundi ka pa totally emotional ready, di ba? It’s better to wait at pag nag-commit ka seriously, yung reading-ready ka na talaga.”

Didn’t she have any reluctance doing the bedscenes with Lloydie? “No, kasi alam ko kung gaano siya ka-gentleman at kung gaano siya kagaling umarte. Sa dinami-dami ng naging leading men ko, iba nang level niya, one step ahead na talaga siya. Also, the film is about intimacy, relationships and sexual compatibility, kaya kailangan talaga ang ganung torrid love scenes. I play a liberated woman na okay lang makipag-one night stand. It’s something new but nangyayari naman talaga yun sa totoong buhay. The film will explain kung ano ang pinanggagalingan ng character ko.”

Won’t Phil feel get jealous when he sees the bedscenes? “No, hindi siya ganun. Napaka-secure niyang tao, he knows my line of work, so walang issue. Pero kung akong tatanungin, siempre, I’d rather huwag na lang niya panoorin ang movie. But he has seen the trailer and he said, mukhang maganda raw. I’ve introduced Lloydie to him at okay sila.”

Isn’t there any friction between them considering he grew up in a different culture in Britain? “No, parang Pinoy rin siya. But noong una, when he asked to date me, ayoko talaga. It was my friends who said, ‘Try it lang. Be more open naman.’ First time kaming nag-meet on February 13 last year, so halos one year na kaming lumalabas-labas at habang tumatagal kaming nagkakasama, mas nakikilala namin ang isa’t isa and I became more at ease with him.”

So what’s their plan on February 13, their first anniversary? “Wala. Hindi naman official anniversary yun kasi unofficially on pa kami. Sa Valentine, kami ni Lloydie ang magkasama as we’ll be promoting our movie that opens on February 15.”
