Angel Locsin has belied speculations that she and ex-boyfriend Luis Manzano are finally back in each other's arms.
Angel addressed skeptics, "Sa lahat pa ba nang pinagsasabi ko, may itatago pa ba ako, o magtatago pa ba ako?"
She revealed that Luis visited her father recently, making the latter very happy.
"Gusto niya si Luis eh," Angel maintained.
The actress admitted that she has also renewed communications with Luis' mother, Batangas Governor Vilma Santos.
"Hindi pa kami nag-uusap actually pero nagte-text naman kami. Okay naman, sobrang happy," Angel related.
Without skipping a beat, Angel then told Kris: "Ninang kita!"
Kris responded, "Ay, gusto ko 'yan! Mag-iipon na ako! Kailan (ba ako magni-ninang)?"
"Soon na 'yan. Malapit na," said Angel.
Angel and Luis were part of the ABS-CBN contingent that performed in Dubai recently for "ASAP 19."
On bonding with Luis during the trip she said, "Tama lang naman ah. Ano bang matatago (namin)...
Masaya naman ako, bakit ba!"
Asked why it is taking so long for them to finally make it official again, Angel explained, "Inaayos lang namin 'yung mga hindi namin na-settle na issues. Pero 'yung mahal, love, andun pa din naman, 'di ba? Hindi naman nawala 'yon. Inaayos lang talaga namin at pinag-uusapan.
She added, "And na-realize namin kung ano 'yung mga mistakes namin before. Ako, madami ako na-realize tapos bumabawi na talaga ako."
With this development, Angel admitted, "Kinain ko lahat ng sinabi ko na hindi (ako) nakikipagbalikan sa ex. Nilamon ko naman lahat 'yon. Happy naman ako eh."
She was quick to clarify notions that Luis came between her and ex, Phil Younghusband.
"Iniisip ng tao na pinagsabay namin, hindi po. Sobrang hindi po talaga," Angel insisted.
