Since her character soared high in GMA’s fantasy series, Mulawin, Angel Locsin has been unstoppable. Now, the bankable young actress tries her luck into more challenging tasks of her young career, producing a trilogy film called “Angels.”

Angel was originally a part of youth oriented show “Click,” that was her break. But through continuous hard work, it was not surprising at all that being in her early twenties, she already owns a Php16 million-worth property and has co-produced a Php20 million flick

“Pasalamat ako na naging smooth naman lahat. Mas naging maproblema noong planning, nu’ng binubuo namin ‘yung script, story conference, paghahanap ng mga director at ng mga artista. Nakaka-stress din iyong after ng pelikula, pagpapa-print at pag-e-edit, ang gastos nuon,” Angel says about her being a film producer for the first time.

She admitted that it was not easy to doing two tasks at the same time. She’s starring in the movie, top billing the “Angel of Mine” episode. “Angels” feature inspiring stories and today’s hot young actors actors as Jennylyn Mercado, Patrick Garcia and Marvin Agustin.

The “Asian Treasures” lead star noted that she prepared herself in the difficulty of her new venture. Asked which part of the production was the hardest, she retorts “Everything!”.

“Lahat! Iyong biglang magkakaroon ng problema. Kunwari, hindi available iyong ganyan (props) na laging may ganoon (conflict) pero buti nagagawan ng paraan at nasosolusyonan.”

The favorite TV heroine is very thankful to the people who supported her projects with her manager and co–producer Becky Aguila.

“Nagpasalamat ako sa mga kasama ko sa Angels kasi lahat sila naging professional, walang nale-late at walang nagre-reklamo. Lahat naging excited sa project, nakikipag-cooperate. Pati ang iba ko pang kasama sa trabaho gaya nina Raymond at Richard (Gutierrez). Tuwang tuwa ako sa kanila kasi sa ‘SOP,” pino-promote nila iyong Angels ‘di ba ang sweet-sweet nila.”

Producing another film is not impossible for her, but as of now that will have to wait.

The Well Loved Personality

Angel is a lady with top rating television series, top grossing films and several endorsements. In addition she’s part of those personalities who have diversified followers, ranging from children to adults. She has played the admirable “Darna” in the small screen then posed as FHM’s Sexiest Woman in 2005.

“Ang sarap ng buhay ng artista. Pupunta ka sa set, dapat alam mo na ang linya mo, may make-up ka na, bibihisan ka at aarte ka na. Dito (Angels) mahirap kasi artista ako at producer din ako, mahirap!”

Undeniably, Angel’s successful career is connected to her screen partnership with Richard Gutierrez whom she co-starred with in Mulawin and box office hit movies – “Let the Love Begin,” I Will Always Love You,” “Mulawin The Movie” and “The Promise.”

On the other hand she’s also a saleable endorser, she was able to work with ABS-CBN’s premier actor Piolo Pascual for a coffee commercial. In one interview, Piolo cited that he wants to do a movie with Angel.

“Ako din! Sobrang gusto ko ring makatrabaho si Piolo kasi magaling siya. Napi-feel ko na marami akong matutuhan kapag kasama ko siya.”

Angel shared that when they were doing their coffee ad, where they were shown as seducing each other, she couldn’t look to Piolo out of shyness. She was surprised afterwards when Piolo confessed that he felt the same.

Ange’s showbiz recognitions include the German Moreno Youth Award (FAMAS), Miss FAMAS Popularity and Princess of the Philippine Movies and TV (Box Office Entertainment Awards) also in 2005.

Life Outside Showbiz

After four top rating shows in a row, Angel is planning to take a break from her showbiz career for two months. She’ll take fashion design course in London, which according to her is a preparation for her future.

“Mahal ko ang ginagawa ko, hindi ako nagrereklamo pero gusto kong gumawa ng bagay na ikade-develop ko, para sa akin din naman iyon. Actually, para sa pamilya ko rin dahil ‘pag nagka-business ako sila rin ang makikinabang… Kailangan ko lang ayusin ang sarili ko para makagawa ako ng maayos na trabaho.”

The actress is determined to pursue her study and reportedly rejected another project. She clarified that it was a break for her to improve her craft as well as to empower her knowledge in other aspects.

Angel Locsin is simple lass, which aside from having heavenly face, curvaceous body, talent and achievements is also a woman who shows great love for her career, family with a clear outlook in life.

That’s more than we can say about other young artists of today.
