Angel Locsin pairs up with Jake Cuenca for ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’!

ABS-CBN.com visited Angel Locsin and Jake Cuenca last January 21 on the set of the Valentine episode of Maalala Mo Kaya where the two will be pairing up for the first time. Angel will be playing an accidental mistress in her third MMK appearance. “It’s different talaga. Medyo strong kasi yung character niya and eto yung character na kadalasan hindi naiintindihan. Kumbaga bago tayo manghusga ng tao, tignan muna natin kung ano ba talaga yung sitwasyon. Kasi ang role ko dito isa akong mistress, tapos naniniwala kasi ako sa pamilya, sa kasal, kaya isa-sacrifice ko yung sarili kong kaligayahan para ‘di ako makasira ng pamilya,” she began.



Since she took a long break from work, the actress revealed that she was so nervous that she had to remind herself about how to go through a scene. “Pwera lang sa talk shows, naninibago ako kasi ang huling taping ko Only You pa. Siyempre pagdating dito doble yung effort ko, fina-familiarize ko muna lahat. So ngayon nire-remind ko yung sarili ko na, ‘Okay, eto yung lines mo, eto yung emotions mo, ito yung ka-eksena mo, ‘yan yung blocking niya, ‘wag mo tatakpan yung blocking niya’. So lahat bago ngayon. Tapos hindi pa ako nakatulog at all. Sobrang excited ko dito sa MMK, kahit isang oras hindi talaga,” Angel said.

As for working with Jake, Angel said that they’re already comfortable with each other since she and Jake have been friends from the time he started working in showbiz. “Si Jake kasi first scene niya ever kaming dalawa ni Riley [Valeroso] ang kaeksena niya (Click). So wala na ‘yang itatago sa akin, kabisado ko na siya. Pero siyempre ang huling eksena namin sa Majika pa. So ngayon nakita ko yung growth niya bilang actor,” she stated.

People have noticed that Jake has improved a lot since his stint on Tayong Dalawa and Angel witnessed first-hand how professional he is when it comes to work. “Ngayon ang dami na niyang questions. ‘So Direk dito ko ba ibibigay? Ganyan ganyan.’ Aba, okay itong taong ‘to ha. Nag-grow na talaga siya at nag-iisip na aktor. Okay siya. Pero hindi pa kasi kami naging love team kaya medyo nagtatantsahan pa kami. Yung kaninang eksena nagulat ako kasi yung una parang kilig-kilig lang. Mahirap ang role ng mistress ha. Kasi dapat maintindihan mo yung mga bagay-bagay. Tsaka ang daming shifting of emotions e. ”

Asto how they work with each other, Angel said, “Kasi hindi pwedeng pantay kayo. Kailangan, ‘O scene niya ‘yan, bigay mo sa kanya ‘yan’. May timpla kasi ang bawat eksena e. Nung rehearsal sobrang ready ako, kaya ko na yung part ng trabaho ko. Tapos nung take na…Wait lang, isiipin kong isa akong mistress. Pero masaya kasi si Direk Dado (Lomibao) very encouraging naman e, very supportive,” she cheerfully replied.

Aside from this MMK episode, Angel is excited about her 2010 projects with includes Kokey @ Ako, her movie with Aga Muhlach, and her teleserye with John Lloyd Cruz. “Yung Kokey inaantay ko. Tapos nag-storycon kami nila Inang (Olive Lamasan) for Kuya Aga's movie, iba na yung story from the last time na nag-usap-usap kami. Lahat siguro ng ayokong gawin nandudun. Tapos si Inang pa yung direktor na sobrang nirerespeto ko talaga, kaya excited din akong gawin. At thankful ako kay Kuya Aga kasi sobrang bait din niya talaga. Hindi ko pa pwede i-reveal yung story, baka patayin ako ni Inang, pa-good shot muna ako. Tapos yung teleserye with Lloydy after ng Kokey at ng movie niya (Miss You Like Crazy). Isa-isa lang, kawawa naman si Lloydy.”
