Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. ANGEL LOCSIN STILL LOVES LUIS MANZANO
The Legal Wife star revealed during the press con for her new show that she still loves her ex and that this love didn’t disappear. However, she clarified that that doesn’t mean they will get back together. She said that Luis may not be aware of this because they haven’t talked yet, and that she was trying to avoid Luis for two years. Angel was also candid enough to say that she’d rather have people be mad at her for such a statement than lie about the whole thing. Progress: Angel and Luis, after avoiding each other for two to three years, have finally talked last New Year, tackling differences and those they weren’t able to talk about before. Angel wants to emphasize that Luis was not the reason why she and Phil broke up.

Remember that time when Vic was a guest on the Ikaw Na! segment of Bandila, and he basically confirmed that Pauleen is the one in his heart? Now the two are more vocal about their relationship even if they’re not that open about it. She shared with Pep.ph that the people around them have always known of their relationship; they don’t hide it; but they don’t volunteer the information either. Pauleen also believe that age is nothing but a number; Vic is 59 while she is 25; they have a 34-year age gap. “At the end of the day, it’s the personalities,” she told Pep. “Yun talaga ang importante, hindi naman yung edad.” (Photo: pauleenluna Instagram account)

Now that we know who Dyesebel is, we’re wondering who will portray Captain Barbell. There are rumors that it will be Coco, but he himself shared that it was never offered to him. He also feels like he won’t give the role justice because he’s small. He knows that it’s a good project but that it might not fit him and that people might just laugh at him if he ends up being Captain Barbell.
