Check out what veteran "kontrabidas" have to say about Angelica Pangilinan's portrayal of Rubi.

High-caliber character actresses namely, Pilar Pilapil of Agua Bendita, Mylene Dizon of Tanging Yaman, Gladys Reyes of Habang May Buhay and Jaclyn Jose of Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo, are all impressed with Angelica Panganiban’s portrayal of Rubi.

“Kaunting artista lamang ang nabibigyan ng roles katulad ng papel ni Angelica sa Rubi and she really got what it takes,” Pilar Pilapil shared. Meanwhile, the rest of the mentioned stars were one when it comes to how they truly admire Angelica’s ‘truthful’ depiction of Rubi’s character. “She’s a natural,” Gladys Reyes.

“Flattered ako ng bongga,” Angelica expressed. She added, “Iba kasi kapag mga beteranong mga aktres na ang pumupuri sa isang aktres na katulad ko. First time ko lang rin kasi talaga mabigyan ng primetime project na bida na ko, kontrabida pa (laughs).”

Summer nights will surely get hotter as Angelica sizzles weeknights on Rubi, after Habang May Buhay on ABS-CBN.
