On Mon, Oct 12, Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Intramuros, Manila. Colmenares had his aunt in tow — actress Angel Locsin, who is Angelica Colmenares in real life.

Rep. Colemenares is running for senator in 2016.

Indeed, it was a bit of a surprise when Locsin revealed, “Actually, pamangkin ko s’ya. Kaya lang mas matanda s’ya sa akin (He is actually my nephew. It’s just that he is older than me).”

Other reports indicate that Locsin’s father and Colmenares’ father are related, but no further details were provided about the matter. Rep. Colmenares is 55, while the actress is 30. (from an ANC report)
