Angel Locsin on Cogie Domingo: ‘Hindi naging kami!’

During the press launch of her endorsement for Century Tuna, Angel Locsin reacted to Cogie Domingo’s claims that he was hurt by her persistent denial of their past relationship. Angel said that she is not denying anything because there was nothing for her to deny in the first place. “Naikwento lang sa akin (about Cogie’s recent interview). Naririnig ko na ‘yan dati pa. Matagal nang issue ‘yan. Wala pa ako sa ABS-CBN. Bakit ngayon lang napaguusapan? Wala akong dapat i-deny.”

The actress added that she feels she should not be the one to do the explaining to the public. “Ayoko na talaga pag-usapan. Para sa akin bakit ako mage-explain. Bakit ako pinipilit e nasagot ko na ng ilang beses? Hindi naging kami. Malinaw naman ‘yun e. Alam naman niya siguro ‘yun. Kahit magharap harap kami.”

The 25-year-old star also out a message to Cogie asking him to tell the truth. “Cogie is a nice guy, pero ‘wag niyang kalimutan na may responsibility siyang magsabi ng totoo sa mga tao. Kung gusto niyang paniwalaan ‘yung ganyang mga bagay okay lang sa akin, kanya kanyang trip lang naman ‘yan. Pero kapag nagsalita ka na ‘wag mong sabihin na ganito ‘yung nangyari kahit hindi naman.”

Angel admitted that she has met Cogie’s family and friends whom she described as nice people, but this should not be a reason to conclude that she was Cogie’s girlfriend. “Totoong ipinakilala niya ako sa family niya, sa mga friends niya. Pero hindi naman porke ipinakilala ka na sa family e naging kayo na.”

In spite of the intrigues that have recently hounded Angel, she managed to keep her cool and just ignore what she knows are just complete lies. “Sa trabaho natin hindi mo masasabi. Minsan magugulat ka na lang na may issue na sa ‘yo. Hindi ko na lang masyadong iniisip. Baka kaming mga artista mabaliw na kami kapag inisip pa namin lahat ng intriga. ‘Yung mga tao tatanungin ka, kapag sumagot ka hindi rin naman maniniwala. Anong gagawin mo? Idinadasal mo na lang na bigyan ka ni God ng strength.”

The recent rumor that Angel was fond of partying and drinking unfortunately affected the actress’s relationship with her father. But she clarified that she and her dad are now fine. “We’re okay na. Hindi naman niya narinig ‘yungsa akin e. Hindi na namin napagusapan. Basta naging okay na kami. Na-hurt lang siya sa mga naririnig niya. Alam mo naman ang tatay, ayaw niyang may naririnig na masama tungkol sa anak niya.” interview
