Angel and Phil happy being together

Angel Locsin admits she and Phil Younghusband are happy together even if they refuse to put a label on their relationship.

Angel, who has just been included in the cast of ABS-CBN’s sitcom “Todo Max,” looked happy and vibrant when she faced the press last   December 6  at the ABS-CBN compound. This is the first time she’s doing comedy. And it’s far different from the drama and action roles she usually gets.

The 26-year-old actress shared that she’s happy for the blessings and projects she always gets.

Is Phil is the reason for her happiness?

“Marami namang factors. Pero yung nagbibigay kilig at happiness, si Phil,” Angel says, smiling.

Angel admits she never thought they would be as close as they are now.

Love in a hopeless place

“Sabi ko sa kanya nung una ayaw ko syang i-meet kasi parang hindi pa ko ready for dating or entering in a relationship. Parang ‘We found love in a hopeless place,’” Angel relates, quoting Rihanna’s song.

Even if they are always seen dating, Angel and Phil have been consistent in saying they are special to each other. But neither of them has confirmed the status of their relationship.

“Kami ni Phil, pumasok sya sa buhay ko sa time na ayaw ko na ng commitment, ayaw ko na ng relationship. Tapos, nagtry sya mag-ask although hindi pa kami pareho ng gusto. Ngayon, hindi lang namin napapagusapan. Parang ganun,” she explains.

Angel says their situation works for both of them. She also understands that some people don’t buy their “not-yet-a-couple” status.

“Wala naman akong nakikitang masama, kung yun ang mas nagwo-work sa amin. Marami nga dyan kasal na pero madami naming problema. Hindi lang siguro naiintindihan ng mga tao pero masaya kami,” she says.

Can she the happiness she feels with Phil?

“Parang high school lang, parang ganun. Kung naexperience mo yung kilig nung high school, parang ganun, hindi nawawala,” Angel shares.

Angel and Phil are busy with their respective careers, but they always cheer and support each other. Angel always watches the Azkal’s major games, while Phil always goes with Angel in special functions.

“Kung merong humahanga sa’yo, nag-aalaga sa’yo, inspired ka to do better at happy ka lang,” she relates.

First comedy

She is just as happy about her new sitcom. Angel shares that she never thought she would be doing a comedy after ten years in showbiz.

“Naisip ko na never akong mabibigyan ng chance kasi hindi ko pa napapasok ang ganitong genre. Pero masaya ako habang ginagawa ko ito. Kahit nung guest pa lang ako,” Angel explains.

Angel plays the role of Isbale Padausdos, the girlfriend of Justin (Vhong Navarro’s character). She was originally a guest in the first two episodes but was offered to become a mainstay.

“Nung una naghesitate ako, pero nung nakita ko kung gaano sila kasaya, gusto kong maging part nito,” she says.

How is her role different from her previous characters?

“Iba yung timing, iba yung energy. Sa drama kasi tamlayay-tamlayan school of acting ko. Dito dapat lagging mataas ang energy mo,” Angel replies.

Robin Padilla and Pokwang also star in “Todo Max”, which airs every Saturday after “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”
