PMPC (Philippine Movie Press Club) Star Awards for Movies Best Actress Angel Locsin couldn’t believe she beat veteran actresses and personal idols Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos, and Gina Alajar.
Angel bagged the top acting award for her performance in Star Cinema’s movie “One More Try.”
“Alam mo yung hindi lang talaga ako makapaniwala. Hindi ako nagtanong kung sino pa yung fellow nominees ko. Pagdating ko dito, (knowing my nominees), parang ang kapal naman ng mukha ko kung aasa ako, di ba?,” Angel told reporters after the awards rites held at the AFP Theatre on Sunday, March 10.
She downplayed her award and praised fellow-nominees.
“Hindi naman ibig sabihin na mas magaling (ako). Walang dapat ikaduda sa abilidad nila Ate Guy, Tita Vilma, Tita Gina. I’m just very thankful, especially sa PMPC, kasi siguro binibigyan nila ng chance yung mga mas bagong artista,” Angel added.
Noranians and Vilmanians
She admitted feeling initially worried about how Noranians and Vilmanians would react to her victory. Nora, who also attended the event, came with her massive fan base that night.
“Kasi ang iniisip ko lang kanina, ‘Paano ako makakalabas nang buhay?’ Feeling ko, ‘Oh, my God, nandiyan ang mga Noranians. Nandiyan ang mga Vilmanians,’" Angel joked.
She added, "Hindi naman sila mga salbahe, mababait naman sila."
Told that Vilmanians and Noranians accepted the decision gracefully, Angel said, “Ang bait naman nila, katulad ng mga iniidolo natin. So, maraming salamat po.”
Angel explained, “Alam naman natin na ibang klase naman talaga ang talento nila. Salamat sa chance na parang ipinaubaya muna nila na, ‘O sige, sa iyo muna iyan.’”
The Kapamilya actress will feel honored if given a chance to work with Nora for the first time, and Vilma for the second time (the first was in the family drama “Mano Po”).
“Si Ate Guy hindi ko pa nakakatrabaho. Siguro kung okey sa kanya, kung sa tingin niya ay hindi siya mahihirapang katrabaho ako, or sa tingin niya makakatulong ako sa project, go,” Angel said.
Mum on Angelica Panganiban
But Angel remained tightlipped when asked about fellow Best Actress nominee and “One More Try” co-star Angelica Panganiban. The two are reportedly not in good terms.
Angel will soon start shooting a Star Cinema project with Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga and Shaina Magdayao.
“Siguro mas better na habang tumatagal tayo sa trabaho natin, mas pinipili mo na siguro kung ano yung sasagutin mo o hindi. Kung hindi naman kasi positive para sa aming dalawa, eh di hindi na lang. Mas okey na yung ganoon na lang,” Angel said.
