“Puwede bang sumuko na lang sa nomination? Sila na lang kasi ayaw ko nang maintriga.” This was the statement told by Angelica to the press after the alleged issue that she tried to bribe the Award giving body buying an acting award.
Angelica was one of the nominated stars for Best Actress in the upcoming 27th Stars Award which will be held this coming June 21, 2011.
In this category, the young actress competes with the biggest and equally bright actresses in television. The name includes Lorna Tolentino and Bea Alonzo for the movie Sa ‘Yo Lamang, Ai-Ai delas Alas for the movie Tanging Ina N ‘yo (Last Na ‘To!), Anne Curtis for the movie In Your Eyes, Lovi Poe from the movie Mayohan, and Dawn Zulueta for the movie Sigwa.
In the launching of her new endorsement, the beautiful Angelica explained her side and told the media about the issue and her assessment for the probability of where this malicious issue might possibly came from.
“Kasi, ‘yong isang reporter, nag-birthday siya, parang weeks ago nag-birthday. Parang invited ako and then hindi ako nakapunta.
“Then, Christmas time, di ba, may mga solicitation, may mga magso-solicit sa ‘yo para sa raffle? Nagbigay akong gift certificate.
“Then, sabi ng isang reporter na baka puwedeng sabay na lang ‘yong Christmas gift ko. Hindi ko na siya nabigyan.
“Tapos, naalala ko na nag-birthday nga pala siya, so binigyan ko siya ng gift check. Mga worth P15,000 ‘yong gift check na binigay ko.
“Kasi, marami silang reporters na nagpunta sa dressing room ko.
“Ayaw ko naming mambastos na siya lang ang bibigyan ko, so sa kanya ko lang inabot.
“Sabi ko, ‘O, maghati-hati na lang kayo.’
“Kasi, hindi ko naman alam kung kailan ang mga birthday nila. Alangan namang abangan ko, di ba?
“So, ibinigay ko sa kanila. After two weeks, ‘yon na ‘yong naging intriga.” The 24-year old Angelica Panganiban told the press in the launching of her Pond‚Äôs endorsement in Sofitel Hotel at Pasay.
Angelica closed the interview with a sarcastic statement, “I don’t think gano’n sila ka-cheap, na for P5,000 na gift check, ibibigay nila sa akin ang trophy. “It’s sad naman na may mga gano’ng tao na puwede mong bayaran para lang mabigyan ka ng karangalan.‚Äù
And she added that that getting the award knowing that you deserves it and you are worthy of it is much more honorable.
