Actress Angelica Panganiban, who turned 29 recently, is not in a hurry to settle down.
Panganiban said she and her boyfriend, actor John Lloyd Cruz, are currently prioritizing their respective projects. She believes that she and Cruz have a solid relationship.
“Wala,” she said when asked if they have plans of settling down soon. “Kasi alam mo, may assurance naman na solid kami. Pero sa ngayon, parang ang saya pa ng takbo ng career.”
“Ang dami ko pang akala ko hindi ko magagawa, pwede pala akong maging nanay sa isang 19-year-old. Nakakabigla ang nangyayari nowadays so ang hirap sabihin, hindi mo mapi-predict,” she added, referring to her role as Claudia Buenavista, mother of Angelo (Daniel Padilla) in the primetime soap “Pangako Sa ‘Yo”.
“So ngayon, kung ano ang mayroon sa akin, ngayon talagang ibinibigay ko ang 100% ko sa trabaho ko kasi sayang ang opportunity kung palalampasin namin ang trabaho. And I’m sure ang mga ganyang bagay ay makakapaghintay, pero yung chance na makapag-portray ka ng role na ang hinihingi ay single ka, parang okay pa naman. Walang pagmamadaling nangyayari.”
Panganiban went on to say that she will just let fate decide.
“Well, doon naman talaga pupunta ang lahat kung ‘yun ang nakatadhana sa akin. I think mangyayari kung sa tingin ng tadhana na ready na ako. Siguro ganoon,” she said.
Aside from “Pangako Sa ‘Yo”, Panganiban is gearing up for the “Banana Sundae”, which will debut on November 15.
Cruz, meanwhile, stars in the upcoming film “A Second Chance” with Bea Alonzo. The movie is the sequel of the highly popular “One More Chance”.
He is also part of the sitcom “Home Sweetie Home” with Toni Gonzaga.
When asked if she is open to doing a project with her boyfriend, Panganiban replied: “Napag-uusapan namin. Siguro kung comedy, kasi ‘yung theme ng ‘Home Sweetie Home’ is the same theme ng ‘Banana Split’, so itatanong nila ako kung gusto kong mag-guest. Sabi ko, parang ‘di ko pa kaya. Lately parang kino-consider ko pero feeling ko sablay talaga, parang ‘di ako makagalaw.” (MNS)
