ACTRESS Angelica Panganiban recently entertained questions from her close friends in a special episode of “Ask Angelica.”
A recurring topic, however, was Panganiban’s love life, as several of her friends hinted at her being romantically involved.
When one of her best friends, Patty Yap, asked which among her “alter egos” she is willing to let go of, Panganiban mentioned “Jane.” Yap explained that an inside joke within their group involved different personalities they switch on depending on the occasion.
Jane, Panganiban said, has been her “party girl” persona.
“Okay na ako sa life ko,” Panganiban said. “Kampante na ako. Relaxed na ako. Gusto ko na ‘yung life ko. Wala na akong hihilingin pa.”
That answer prompted a follow-up from actor John Prats, who inquired about the “status” of Panganiban’s heart.
“Kalmado ang puso ko ngayon,” Panganiban said, after protesting the question.
Sunshine Garcia asked similarly: “Meron na bang nagpapatibok sa puso mo?”
Panganiban evaded the question by putting on camera her pet cat Cindy, saying, “Matagal nang tumitibok ‘yung puso ko dahil dito sa pusa ko!”
The actress, however, did hint that she has a new flame when she answered Vice Ganda’s question. The comedy superstar asked her to name a celebrity with whom she wants to be romantically linked.
“Sa local, wala. Meron na ako!” she quipped.
Film director Andoy Ranay, meanwhile, clued in viewers on a timeline, when he asked her to name what Panganiban considers a special date this year.
Actress Glaiza de Castro was also one of the guests who greeted Panganiban. She thanked the actress for being a caring friend, adding, “Ngayon, hindi ka na mahihirapan dahil may nag-ki-care sa ‘yo.”
In perhaps the most substantial indication that Panganiban is newly in love, another of her best friends, Kevin Samson, spoke of an “answered prayer” in his video message.
He told the actress: “Alam ko naman you’re more than happy right now, kasi naniniwala ako na for every person na aalis sa buhay mo, even temporary lang, meron at merong ipapalit si Lord to make you even happier. And you deserve to be. That is an answered prayer for me.”(ABS-CBN)
