Angel Locsin on Luis Manzano: "Mahal ko pa rin siya."

Actress Angel Locsin confessed that she still loves former boyfriend Luis Manzano during the press conference for her upcoming series The Legal Wife on Wednesday.

Angel said that she wanted to be honest to people, even though many haters will surely take advantage of her revelation that despite the two to three years that she's been trying to avoid the actor-host, she still has feelings for him.

"Oo mahal, mahal naman. Ang love hindi naman nawala pero hindi naman ibig sabihin noon eh magiging kayo ulit o magkakabalikan kayo, di ba? Kasi kailangan pag-usapan muna ang napakaraming pinagdaanan namin," she explained.

Angel and Luis had the chance to talked during the New Year when the host visited her and according to Angel, she and Luis are now in good terms.

"Pinag-uusapan namin 'yung mga bagay na hindi namin pinag-uusapan ...Pero masaya ako na okay na kami," Locsin said.

Angel Locsin broke up with football player Phil Younghusband last year but she clarified that Luis Manzano was not the reason, nor a third party.

"Hindi po talaga, sobrang hindi. Si Phil ilabas natin sa usapan pero masasabi ko honestly na wala kaming usap kahit text ni (Luis noong kami ni Phil) at masasabi ko minahal ko 'yung tao (si Phil) talaga. Walang panlolokong involved. Siguro habang tumatagal parang nare-realize mo 'yung pagkakamali," she said.

Angel is hoping that she and Luis will finally fix their differences and end up together again. 

"Sana kasi wala naman akong ibang makita pero depende 'yan sa amin kung magiging okay kami together. Right now, pinag-uusapan lang siguro ang dapat ayusin namin. Siguro di pa kami masyado mature," she said.

Angel Locsin Reacted Over Arnold Clavio's 'Racist' Comments on Azkals

Actress Angel Locsin cried foul over Arnold Clavio's remark against the Philippine football team Azkals. In her official Twitter account, Locsin expressed her admiration of Clavio but stressed that the broadcast journalist's racist tirades against the team was really offensive.

Angel Locsin is the rumored girlfriend of Azkals team member, Phil Younghusband.

"I think Arnold Clavio's a good person. But this time, sobrang foul lang. That's his opinion. This is mine. Madali lang sumira ng reputasyon, mahirap ibalik. Konting sensitivity lang sana," she tweeted. 

Angel also stressed that it's really unfair to judge the whole team, particularly questions about their nationality.

"Hindi naman po isang tao lang ang Azkals. At hindi naman po 'yung issue 'yung pagiging Pinoy nila. Unfair po 'yun," Angel said through Twitter.

She added: "Wala po tayong karapatang manghusga agad at manapak ng tao. Kung ayaw rin po nating mangyari satin."

On Tuesday morning, March 13, GMA news anchor Arnold Clavio gave his 'racist' comments on the Azkals regarding the sexual harassment case filed by Cristy Ramos (daughter of ex-president Fidel Ramos) against Azkals members, Angel Guirado and Lexton Moy.
