Angelica Panganiban Moves On After Heartbreaking John Lloyd Episode, Stars In 'Dalawang Mrs. Reyes' That's Grade A By CEB

 

ANGELICA PANGANIBAN, who’s 31, felt flattered when her co-star in “Dalawang Mrs. Reyes”, Judy Ann Santos, said that she felt nervous acting with her because Angelica is such an expert in comedy. “Siempre, nakaka-overwhelm kasi bata pa lang ako…” Angelica is saying but Juday, who’s 39, quickly butts in: “Masakit ha.”

“I mean, bata pa lang ako, artista na ako. At pinapangarap ko na talagang makatrabaho ko si Ate Juday. Kaya noong magkasama kami sa soap na ‘Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka’, hindi ako nagsasalita noon in her company, sobrang tahimik lang ako kasi starstruck ako. Nakikinig lang ako sa mga kuwento niya. E, ngayon, mas confident na ako so kaya ko nang makipagkuwentuhan sa kanya.”

She says that she’s happy when Juday acknowledged that she’s very good in comedy. “For her to say
that, di ba? Masyado siyang nakakatuwa kasi talaga namang tinitingala ko siya. I’m sure hindi lang naman ako kundi ng lahat kaya sure din akong maraming naiinggit sa’kin kasi katabi ko siya ngayon dito sa presson at nasa iisang poster kami. Siguro ang daming artistang gustong maglalaslas kasi bakit ako ang kasama niya at hindi sila? Mayabang ako ngayon, sorry.”


She admits 2017 was not a good year for her when it comes to her lovelife. She thought she and ex- BF John Lloyd Cruz were reconciling, then, all of a sudden, he was already in the arms of Ellen Adarna who’s preggy now with their child. But 2017 is also good as she did a lot of traveling and she had a superhit movie, “The Unmarried Wife”, that gave her a FAMAS best actress award so the year somehow ended well for her. “So move on na lang kasi naiiyak ko na rin namang lahat. Pero ayoko pa munang umibig. Takot pa ko. Saka na lang.”

And now, she opens 2018 with a new movie that has all the looks of another hit, “Dalawang Mrs. Reyes”. “Kinuwento pa lang sa’kin ang concept, aliw na aliw na ako. When I read the script, nine pages pa lang, tawa ako nang tawa nang malakas, which happened to me before sa ‘Here Comes the Bride’, which was a blockbuster. Nang malaman kong si Juday ang makakasama ko, kahit di ko pa tapos basahin ang script, tinanggap ko na agad kasi alam kong masaya ang project na ito. At yun nga, while we’re shooting this, naka-build kami ng deeper friendship which I will really treasure. Ayoko na ngang matapos ang shooting kasi grabe ang separation anxiety ko, baka mapapadalas akong tumambay sa house nila.”
