Angel Locsin is No. 1 Most Beautiful Filipina
January 8, 2007 by cd
Angel LocsÃn (born Angélica LocsÃn Colmenares), is a Filipina television and film actress who was introduced in GMA Network’s youth-oriented program, Click. Locsin rose to prominence after being cast as one of the lead stars in the fantasy-themed television series Mulawin in 2004. Soon after, she starred as the superhero Darna in the TV adaptation of the popular Mars Ravelo comics hit. Locsin top-billed in several chartbusting films and is known as the screen love interest of Richard Gutierrez and Dennis Trillo.
LocsÃn was born on April 21, 1985 in Bulacan province, where she also grew up. She is the second child of three. Her parents separated when she was fourteen and she has since lived with her father.
Locsin’s career in show business began after she was discovered by a talent scout while she cut classes with a friend and was shopping at SM City North EDSA in Quezon City.. She auditioned for several commercials and later landed a contract with GMA.
LocsÃn first appeared in Click, a teen-oriented program on the GMA Network, as the tomboyish Charley (short for Charlotte), where she was first paired with Brian Revilla, then eventually toRailey Valeroso). She became widely known when she first appeared on the cover of FHM (Philippine edition). The same magazine consistently lists her as one of the “100 Sexiest Women in the World”, as well as sexiest Filipina, ranking No. 2 behind Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. She has also been known as the current sex symbol of the Philippines.[citation needed]
In 2003, she was devastated when her boyfriend, actor Miko Sotto, fell off the 9th floor of his condominium in December 2003. Afterwards, her boyfriend’s mother, movie actress and ABC-5newscaster Ali Sotto, donated his eyes to those in need. Angel eventually portrayed the dramatization of the life of one of these recipients in the TV drama show Magpakailanman
After appearing in Click, Locsin gained further exposure as she was cast in the television shows Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw Pa Rin, All Together Now and Love to Love’.
After her role as the half-human, half-avian Alwina in the 2004 telefantasya Mulawin, where she was paired with Aguiluz (Richard Gutierrez), she auditioned for the title role of the classic Filipina superhero in Darna television series. She won the part handily among numerous actresses who tried out, and was chosen to don the iconic red suit and crest. She also voiced the character of Kyoko Iwase in the Philippine Tagalog version of Initial D aired in Animax.
After Darna, Locsin reunited with former love team Dennis Trillo as they top-billed GMA’s fantasy-themed series, Majika.
Angel LocsÃn also starred in films. Among her big screen credits are Kuya, Mano Po 2, Singles, Sigaw and the 2005 box-office hit Let The Love Begin, where she worked with on-screen partner Richard Gutierrez. Her team-up with Gutierrez is considered by some as one of the best pairings in the country. She also reprised her role as Alwina in the movie adaptation of Mulawin.
Angel as she appears in FHM PhilpiinesLocsin had her fair share of controversy after appearing in a TV ad for Axe (manufactured by Unilever Philippines). Many feminist groups, as well as former Senator Nikki Coseteng, complained about the offensive gestures in the advertisement.[citation needed] In the television commercial, Angel is teasing a man by showing off money and her body but the man approaches Angel and takes only her money. Because of these complaints, Unilever pulled out the commercial.
She also dated Oyo Boy Sotto (born Vittorio Mari Sotto), son of actor Vic Sotto and actress Dina Bonnevie and cousin of her late boyfriend Miko Sotto.
She also admitted on a Filipino TV show “Ali” that she has been an avid fan of WWF/WWE (World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment) eversince she was a kid. Her favourite wrestlers are Triple H and the Filipino-Greek Dave Batista whom she met at the show ‘Eat Bulaga’ backstage.
Angel and Oyo has just broke up, but they stated that they’re still friends.
Angel Locsin is voted no. 1 Most Beautiful Filipina of 2006.

Magkamag-anak ba si Rio Locsin at Angel Locsin? Pareho din kc silang napakaganda at mahusay umarte! Angel at Rio in a movie remake of Rio Locsin’s Eskandalosa or Stepsisters. A casting coup!

not sure about Rio?
as for Angel, it’s her paternal grandmother who is a Locsin but they favored it as her screen surname instead of the longer Colmenares
same with her name Angel instead of the longer Angelica
