“You can’t put yourself in a box because you’re afraid of other people’s opinions,” the actress Angel Locsin said firmly over a Zoom call. “You have to live for yourself. [If you don’t], you’re not being truthful to others or worse, you’re being dishonest with yourself.”
In the industry for almost two decades, Angelica Colmenares (more popularly known as Angel Locsin) is no doubt a veteran in Philippine show business. Having played various iconic characters on local primetime television, Locsin has become a household name over the years. Laidback and confident, she spoke passionately about causes dear to her heart and how she’s adapted to being in the spotlight. “When you’ve been in the industry for a long time—not to brag—or when you’ve received several acting awards, you become hungry for achievements outside your craft. If you’ve previously been noticed for your looks, outfits or how sexy you are, you eventually want to be known for something more than your physical attributes,” Locsin shared. “I want to be remembered for how I’ve been able to make other people feel that ‘I’m here’, ‘I care’. That for me would be the bigger achievement.”
