WITNESS the remarkable transformation of a
heavenly body. From being showbiz’s "object of desire," Angel
Locsin shows the whole world that she’s more than just a star
with a pretty face; she’s an actress.
But Angel has come a long way since her
controversial transfer to the Kapamilya network. After
she "crossed the fence," ABS CBN saw a promising actress that’s
waiting to be honed to reach her greatest potential. After her
dramatic turn in "Maalala Mo Kaya," she is now all set to star
in ABS CBN’s biggest teleserye to date – "Lobo," a
project that promises to bring out the dramatic actress in
Angel.
"Sobrang excited po ako dito sa
project na ito, dahil first teleserye ko po ito
sa ABS CBN," says Angel. "At maganda ang story, this
is my biggest role to date. Pine-present pa lang po
sa’kin ito, nagandahan na’ko. Lalo na ngayong ginagawa na
namin ang teleserye."
"Lobo" is a tale of ill-fated lovers who will
go against the odds to be together, defying and challenging
whatever force that conspires to tear them apart. Angel will
play the role of Lyka, a warmhearted but mysterious girl whose
secret identity will come between her love for an enigmatic
soldier, played by ABS CBN’s most sought-after bachelor, Piolo
Pascual.
It has been Angel’s dream to be paired with
Piolo, and Piolo is flattered to no end. "Angel is very sincere,
and it reflects in the way she works. Magaan siya ka-trabaho,
may ibubuga siya, she can really act! I’m really
happy with our team up," comments Piolo.
Her directors, FM Reyes and Cathy Molina are
also pleasantly surprised with Angel’s acting. "I think we
really have found a gem in her, a diamond in the rough,
kumbaga. Napakagaling nya dito sa "Lobo," says director FM.
"Makikita mo kay Angel ‘yong desire to learn and
develop her talent. She follows instructions very well,
malaki ang contribution niya sa character niya.
Pang-best actress siya," adds director Cathy.
Different from her mystical and heroine roles
in the past, Angel’s character is far from simple and
predictable in "Lobo." One moment she may be bubbly and sweet,
next she will be lonely and serious. "Angel’s role as Lyka needs
a different attack from those she played in the past. Kaya
lalabas talaga ang versatility niya rito sa show
na ito," remarked direk Cathy.
"Very challenging po talaga ang role
ko rito sa ‘Lobo,’" Angel admits. "It’s my first time to
portray such a unique character, where I can really showcase my
ability in drama. That’s why I’m very excited. And thankful
sa ABS-CBN at sa Star Cinema for this wonderful
opportunity. Ngayon ko masasabing, isa na akong ganap na
aktres," she finished.
Watch her as she unveils her acting prowess
in her most challenging role on television so far.
