Angel doesn’t want Phil to watch upcoming movie

If Angel Locsin would have her way, she doesn’t want Phil Younghusband to see her as a liberated woman who doesn’t need a man to make her happy in Star Cinema’s “Unofficially Yours.”

She doesn’t want to let the man she loves see her in a role that’s a far cry from who she really is.

“Makabagong babae ako dito. So tinanggal ko ang inhibitions ko dahil may pagkamahiyain ako. Hindi ako sanay sa ganitong character na wild,” Angel explains.

The character is such a far cry from who she is in real life. And Angel is afraid Phil will get the shock of his life.

“Ayaw kong panoorin ni Phil ito kasi iba ang pagkakakilala niya sa akin,” Angel explains.

Phil has seen the trailer though and told Angel that he likes it. He even proudly displays the “Unofficially Yours” poster on his car and doesn’t mind seeing Angel getting cozy with leading man John Lloyd Cruz in the movie.

It helped that Angel introduced John Lloyd to Phil who saw for himself that he has no reason to feel jealous or insecure.

It’s been almost a year since Angel and Phil started dating. Angel recalls that Phil tweeted her for the first time to ask her out on a date Feb. 10 last year. They went out three days after.

“At the start, hindi ako ready. Ayaw ko makipagdate,” recalls Angel. “Pero sinabihan ako ng friends ko, ‘Bakit hindi mo subukan? ”

She did, and discovered Phil’s good qualities along the way.

“Masaya ako na nakakita ako ng tao na nag-aalaga at rumerespeto sa akin. Masaya ako na may nag-iinspire sa akin. Bumalik ang self-confidence ko.”

Phil, he goes on, has Filipino values. He loves Filipino food.

But they have no plans of going out on a date this Valentine’s day since Angel says she will be with John Lloyd promoting the movie on Feb. 14, a day before “Unofficially Yours” opens Feb. 15 in 100 theaters nationwide.

Cathy Garcia-Molina directs the movie.

Karylle: ‘It’s Showtime’ just wants to make people happy

By Karen Valeza | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom

“It’s Showtime” host Karylle admits feeling the heat even more, now that the talent search program has moved to a noontime slot.

But she likes to see it as a challenge to continue making viewers happy.

“We’re not gonna think na as if we’re competing with anybody. We just wanna make people happy and make them more happy. Yun yung main thing na pinanghahawakan ko na gusto naming gawin,” she said at the press launch of her new endorsement, Jeunesse, at the White House in Quezon City on Wednesday, February 1.

Karylle also shared how ABS-CBN management fully supports their new show. Karylle and her “It’s Showtime” co-hosts held a caravan around Metro Manila last January 30.

“Nakakatuwa yung nangyari nung the other day with the Unkabogable Bus. We saw the response of ABS-CBN family. Nagtipon-tipon yung mga ABS-CBN employees with small banners sa labas. So may feeling na, okay, we’re all in this together,” she said

Karylle is still mum about the real score between her and Spongecola frontman Yael Yuzon,who has also chosen to keep his lips sealed on the issue.

“Ayaw ko nang mag-overshare kasi nagawa ko na yun before. Hindi naman sa deadma, pero whenever I sing or write songs, andun naman yung message. Kayo nang bahala kung para kaninong lalaki yan,” Karylle explained.

Lesson learned

It’s a lesson learned for Karylle, who now wants to keep her personal life and relationship more private, since her previous relationship (with Dingdong Dantes, now the boyfriend of Marian Rivera) was much publicized.

“For me, I would think na shame on me if I haven’t learned my lesson. I’ve gone through so much publicly na if the same thing should happen to me again, no one’s gonna feel like, ‘Ay kawawa naman siya.’ Eh yun naman yung ginusto mo eh,” Karylle added.

She revealed that her fans understand her privacy, as well as her thoughts on relationships as she expresses them in her music.

“The music fans, if they listen to the songs, I think they get the message,” she said.

Is her strategy about keeping mum about her love life working?

“So far, so good. Sometimes it’s better sung than said,” Karylle replies.

“It’s Showtime” is also hosted by Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Billy Crawford, Karylle, ‘Kuya’ Kim Atienza, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta and Vice Ganda. They will also be joined by former judges Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang and Coleen Garcia.
