Angel Locsin confesses love for Luis Manzano

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Angel Locsin confessed her love for former boyfriend Luis Manzano in an interview with Buzz ng Bayan on Sunday, January 19, reported ABS-CBN.

Teary-eyed, the actress confessed her love for the actor and TV host, whom she had a relationship with some 4 years ago, saying she loves him and wants to be with him.

“‘Di ko lang maexplain kung anong nararamdaman ko ngayon, basta alam ko lang mahal ko yung tao at gusto ko siyang makasama,” she told Buzz ng Bayan. (I can’t explain what I’m feeling right now, but all I know is that I love the person and I want to be with him.)

When asked if she would like to get back together with Manzano, Locsin in an earlier interview aired in Bandila said, “Sana, kasi wala naman akong ibang makita.” (I hope so, because I haven’t found anyone else.)

According to ABS-CBN, Locsin first aired her feelings for Manzano, Wednesday, January 15, in a press conference for her upcoming television drama The Legal Wife. 

“We’re slowly talking again, so sana pupunta doon sa patching things up, and maybe rekindling,” reacted Manzano in a separate interview. The actor reportedly visited the actress’ dressing room not long after her press conference.

However, despite being currently “okay” with each other, Locsin notes that they are in the process of resolving past issues and that they are not instantly getting back together.

Family’s blessing

Locsin also told Buzz ng Bayan that she considers herself lucky because her family respects and understands her decision.

In the same way, Manzano’s father actor and TV host Edu Manzano told ABS-CBN in a separate interview on Friday, January 17, that he has taken a liking to Locsin for her personality and relationship with her father.

He said that he understands how some people may have long-term impact on one’s life and that only his son and Locsin can know whether they are a good match for each other.

Recent break-ups

Last October, Locsin and Manzano both broke up with their respective partners.

Locsin called it quits with football player Phil Younghusband, her boyfriend of over a year, while Manzano split with actress Jennylyn Mercado, whom he shared a 2-year relationship with.

Despite the coincidence, Locsin claims her break-up with Younghusband was not caused by a third party. She told Buzz ng Bayan that she had no communication with Manzano during her relationship with Younghusband. 

“Walang panlolokong involved. Siguro habang tumatagal parang nare-realize mo ‘yung pagkakamali,” she said. (There was no cheating involved. Maybe the longer it lasts, the more you begin to realize the mistakes.)

Meanwhile, Younghusband recently told Bandila that “when you love someone, you can’t get over them that easy. So, I still care for Angel and she’s still in my heart. I still love her.” – Rappler.com
