Angel Locsin had misunderstanding with dad over alcoholic rumor

The rumors about Angel Locsin turning alcoholic have bred misunderstanding between the actress and her father, Angel Colmenares.

“Actually kami ni Daddy ngayon, medyo may hindi kami pagkakaunawaan kasi medyo naniniwala siya dun sa alcoholic na issue,” Angel tearfully related on “The Buzz.”

Write-ups have been saying that the Emmy-nominated actress is being influenced by her peers to drink too much.

While Angel confirmed that she indeed goes to bars with her friends to drink, she clarified that it is in preparation for her Japayuki role in the movie with Aga Muhlach.

“Sabi ko [sa] Dad [ko] kailangan ko rin ‘to para sa trabaho ko eh. Kasi magtu-25 na ‘ko, never ko pang na-experience malasing. Kailangan ko rin ‘to para sa growth ko, sa friends ko, and sa career ko, kasi may mga bagay na hindi mo naman puwedeng imbentuhin ‘yung emosyon, ‘di ba?” she explained.

In spite of the misunderstanding, the 24-year-old actress and philanthropist said she and her father are okay now.

“Okay naman po kami. Siyempre tatay ko pa rin siya, anak pa rin naman niya ko. Ilang taon ko tinrabaho na makuha ko ‘yung trust ng Daddy ko, tapos biglang mababahiran ng duda dahil sa isang issue na hindi mo alam kung saan nagmula,” said Angel.

Angel also belied reports that she left their home, quipping, “Pa’no ka naman maglalayas sa sarili mong bahay?”

In her interview, she confirmed going to Hong Kong with her best friend to get some rest. She also confirmed that she still takes taxis, jeepneys, and tricycles.

“Yes nagho-Hong Kong ako. Kahit ngayon puwede akong pumunta ng Hong Kong kasi kaya ko. Yes nagta-taxi ako, jeep, kahit tricycle, hanggang ngayon ginagawa ko pa rin naman dahil kaya ko,” she said, adding that she took the cab going to the airport because her driver took his day off.

“May pamilya rin naman ‘yung driver ko.”

She was also surprised with chinwags that her personal assistant left her because she was a good girl gone bad; and that she has commitments she did not honor.

“Nakakagulat pati ‘yung sa PA ko, na hanggang ngayon kasama ko naman, na nilayasan daw ako. Tapos may mga trabaho daw akong hindi sinisipot eh wala pa naman akong ginagawa ngayon kaya ano ‘yung hindi ko nasisipot?” she said.

Another thing that surprised her is how even her non-showbiz friends have gone out of their way to defend her against the malicious rumors.

“Na-down lang din talaga ako sa issue kasi nagulat ako na may mga taong naniwala. Tapos ‘pag nakakarinig ka ng taong minamahal ka, pinagtatanggol ka, iba pa rin ‘yung dating,” a grateful Angel said.
