Angel Locsin proves yet again that she has what it takes to make it in the international scene. She nabbed the award for Best Supporting Actress at the 57th Asia Pacific Film Festival held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The recognition was given for her outstanding performance in the film, Everything About Her.
“Everything About Her” is a comedy-drama film directed by Joyce E. Bernal released in January 2016. Angel portrays the role of Jaica, a private nurse who takes care of Vivian, played by Vilma Santos. Vivian is a successful business woman suffering stage 3 cancer. Angel’s character then becomes more significant as she becomes more of a bridge between Vivian and her neglected son played by Xian Lim.
Angel Locsin wins award, shot the movie while still together with Luis Manzano
Luis “Lucky” Manzano is Vilma Santos’ son. He and Angel were in a relationship for about two years until finally they broke up in February 2016. A report by the Inquirer says Angel made the movie while she was still with Manzano, Both actors have moved on but recent reports are bringing back old memories. Luis is now with Jessy Mendiola and there are news coming out that Lucky had overlapping relationship with Angel and Jessy. A report by Sunstar said Luis cleared up the issue saying he was already single as early as January 2016. He and Jessy started dating in April.
Well, at least Angel can look back and see more good has come out while she was in a relationship with Vilma Santos’ son as she brings home the Best Supporting Actress Award. A separate report by Sunstar says Angel wasn’t able to accept the award herself in Cambodia. She did, however, share a snapshot of her award on Instagram. She captioned the photo, “Thank you very, very much for this incredible honor.”
This isn’t the first time Kapamilya actress won Best Supporting Actress for the Everything About Her. Angel first received this award during the first Entertainment Editor’s Choice Awards for Movies (EDDYs) in July. Vilma Santos also won Best Actress for the same film during the EDDYs as well.
