5 Things About The Drama Queen

I’ve worked with Angelica Panganiban before in "Pangako Sa ‘Yo". Though we didn’t really had the chance to get to know each other then, I’ve always admired how she acts on screen and breathes life to every role given to her.

So when I was invited to cover her bloggers’ conference for her upcoming film, Star Cinema’s “The Unmarried Wife”, I had to say YES because I looked forward to asking her questions, and listening to her answers and insights. At hindi ako na-disappoint – she is truly a woman of substance and sense. I learned so much from and about her, I’ll be sharing 5 of them here on Ang Diary Ng Dakilang Fan.

When I asked her what are the three favourite films she has done, she answered “Here Comes The Bride”, “I Love You Goodbye”, and, of course, our all-time favourite “That Thing Called Tadhana”. Sino bang hindi naka-relate o napamahal kay  Mace? But my personal favorites, which I hoped deep down she would mention too, are “Sarah Ang Munting Prinsesa” and “One More Try”.

Of her ideal guy, Angelica revealed she wants someone weird, “para naiintindihan ako”. She also mentioned “maalaga, masayahin, may sense of humor” among the qualities she wanted in a guy.

Angelica also shared that every time she goes through something, be it with family, friends or everytime she’s in a relationship, “sinosolo ko siya.” She revealed that she shares her thoughts and learnings about what she had gone through afterwards, when she is OK already.

The recently hailed Drama Queen of Philippine Cinema is grateful to ABS-CBN and Star Cinema for projects given to her, be it drama or comedy. “Napaglalaruan ako”, she said, in a good way, meaning she gets to explore different roles given to her. That at the end of the day, “naniwala ang manunood na nanay ako at hindi ako ka-loveteam o may pagnanasa kay Daniel (Padilla) sa ‘Pangako Sa ‘Yo’.”

I also asked her with whom among the younger leading men these days she wants to work with (not as mother, but a young lover or anything, basta hindi nanay ha), she mentioned “Daniel Padilla. Kasi nahuhusayan ako sa kanya, at gusto ko ang personalidad niya.” Angelica also mentioned that she admires Daniel’s work ethics. But she clears that she is more than open to working with Enrique Gil, James Reid and even Alden Richards from the other network.
