ANGEL LOCSIN confesses that she’s a big fan of the mom of her BF Luis Manzano, Gov. Vilma Santos. “Starstruck ako sa shooting ng movie naming ‘Everything About Her’,” she says. “Kasi fan niya talaga ako. At first, I asked our director, Joyce Bernal, kaya ko ba? Baka hindi ako makapag-react nang tama kapag kaeksena ko na siya? Buti na lang talaga nakatutok sa’kin si Direk Joyce para ikorek ako sa mga nakagawian kong proceso sa pag-arte. So ibang atake naman ang ginawa ko rito with Tita Vi. I consider myself na napakasuwerte ko to be given the chance to work with her. I learned so much about life and tungkol din sa pagiging artista. She’s a joy to work with. Masaya kami sa set kapag kasama siya kasi sobrang bait niya, on and off cam, not just to me but to everyone else na kasama sa shooting. Laging nagpapakain, magiliw sa lahat, setting a good example dahil hindi pinapakita kahit pagod na siya. Lagi rin siyang may dalang maraming dyaryo sa set kaya nababasa niya lahat ng mga sinusulat nyo about her.”
Is it true that despite her earlier statement that she can no longer do “Darna” due to some health issues, some quarters are still tapping her to play the coveted role? “Hindi ko po alam. Ako raw po ba? But you know kung gaano ko talaga kamahal ang project na yan. Kaya lang, nagpapagaling pa ako. I have to protect my health kasi gusto kong magka-baby pa in the future. Tatapusin ko lang ang premiere night ng ‘Everything About Her’ that opens on January 27 and also yung block screenings then babalik ako sa Singapore para sa second phase ng medical procedure na ginagawa sa spine. It’s laser with ten injections sa nerves and disc ko.”
A photo showing her and her dad with Luis and his family circulated on the net and there were speculations that Luis and Ate Vi made “pamanhikan” to formally ask her hand from her dad. “Naku, hindi po pamanhikan yun. Wala pa sa plano namin ni Luis ang magpakasal.”
