Angelica Panganiban moves on from alleged ex-boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz

MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban said she already moved on from her last relationship, which according to reports was with actor John Lloyd Cruz, and is now ready to be in a relationship with the right man. 

In an interview with the media after the press conference of her new show with Zanjoe Marudo “Playhouse,” Angelica said: “Feeling ko naman maaliwalas na maaliwalas na ko. Masayang masaya na. Feeling ko talaga na cleanse na ko.”

Now that her workload has been lessening with her movie’s shooting coming to an end, Angelica said she is ready to commit in a relationship. 

“Ngayon kasi patapos na ‘yung pelikula, so gumagaan na ‘yung load ng trabaho ko kaya naiisip ko nang mag-jowa. Noon kasi workaholic ako e, ngayon kasi na parang konti na lang, ‘pag napapahinga na ko, naiisip kong ‘okay sige ready na ‘ko,’” Angelica said.

The versatile actress is now linked to actors Zanjoe, Carlo Aquino, JC Santos, and JM de Guzman, but she said no one is courting her right now.

“Hindi naman sila nagsasabing gusto nila ko, so mahirap ‘yung ako yung magsasabing ako yung nagsasabi kung sino pinakamalapuit sa puso ko. Nakakahiya,” she said. 

When asked if it is okay for her to make the first move for a man, Angelica said she sees no problem with it at all.

“Ako hindi ko nakikitaan ng problema kapag babae ang unang nag-approach sa lalaki, kapag siya ‘yung unang nag-aya, ganyan. Parang feeling ko kasi ‘di ba dapat kung wala ka namang masamang intensyon, ang gusto mo lang makilala at lumabas kasama ‘yung taong ‘to, bakit hindi mo gawin, ‘di ba?” she said.  

“PlayHouse” will revolve around the theme that love is a choice — it is a person’s will to choose someone repeatedly, but it may also change in an instant. 

In the series, Angelica and Zanjoe are two college lovers who will eventually get married. Nonetheless, their dream of having a long-lasting love will be tested by struggles that will eventually lead to their split.

Apart from the two, teen stars Kisses Delavin and Donny Pangilinan will also bring “kilig,” to viewers, while other stars include Kean Cipriano, AC Bonifacio, Ariella Arida, Dexter Doria, Nadia Montenegro, Ingrid Dela Paz, Jomari Angeles, Malou De Guzman, Smokey Manaloto, and Maxene Magalona. — Videos by Erwin Cagadas Jr.
