Angel Locsin: Will ‘Darna’ Movie Make Her Career Soar Once More?
The Superheroine character that made her into a showbiz personality she is today will be having a grand comeback in the Philippines’ air. This time on big screen.
When Star Cinema executive Malou Santos revealed that Locsin will be playing ‘Darna’ in a movie, her fans couldn’t help but be excited for the actress, who seems to have been (somehow) seated for a long time on a bench now. Though she has been doing a regular Saturday show, “Toda Max” for two years already, and has had a few movies last year, it is important to note that the star in Locsin was not as bright as that of other Kapamilya top stars who almost have no time for rest as TV series, shows, and movies come one after the other, if not almost overlapping.
Locsin lost the Superstar status along with the crown she’s been wearing on her head when she was still on GMA 7 as their prime time queen. On ABS-CBN, Locsin has always been fighting for a top spot or at least a share on spotlight, after being given two hit TV series with the network’s top leading men, Piolo Pascual and John Lloyd Cruz. A sacrifice that she had to make in order to broaden her audience and snatch the top acting awards she has now on her shelves.

angel has the quality of a WOMAN
yes she is
angel shines bright like a diamond!! forever! helo writer wake up?
she is a big star……
Wow very well said to you Sam_one! Bravo!
Angel is a star that continues to shine. ABS knows how to manage their stars! God bless to all…. by the way Marian joins the star cinema for her to become an icon if she can. Marian has her own right but very far from the achievement of many kapamilya stars… She is still in the process!
Well said Sam! I agree 100%. Angel is already an icon!
I agree.. angel locsin is angel locsin
Angel Locsin is indeed not popularand laos na. She has gotten very fat and is dugyot. Ang panit na umarte at hindi pa marunong sumayaw. Kaawa-awa naman.
hehehehe…. wala nga siyang telebabad show, di na siya sikat like when she was with gma…… Darna again on big screen? whew! 21 years old sya nag mag Darna sa t.v. she was still young at that time, still a fantasy by now she’s too old to be Darna again at tsaka wala ng suspense … wala ng thrill she’s not fresh anymore….. she is not growing old graciously either…..
amen to the above comment!
VERY WELL SAID!!!
well, nakatanggap lang naman ng sangkatutak na Best Actress Award si Angel nung lumipat siya sa ABS, at Puros BlockBurster Movie ang Movie niya sa Star Cinema pinalabas ang teleserye niya sa ibang bansa, maraming endorsement magpa hanggang ngayon while yung taga kabila Mega Flop ang Movie meynteyn na meyntey pa na walang TV Commercials… diba Ely Valendez ?
magkano po binayad sa inyo? ahihi
KawawA nmn ang writer na ito walang alam…cge mag post ka ng walang originality kahit anong i post mo yann ay kabaligtaran ng kataarantaduhan ng mga pinopost mo.haha inggit ka lng kung cno ka man walang kwentang writer.
I don’t usually post/comment on articles by unknown writers, but I will this time. Let’s agree on one thing: Angel Locsin was really huge when she was still in GMA: non-stop projects – movies, tv shows, commercials – name it all. She became really popular at first not because of her acting talent (not like Judy Anne or Claudine when they were starting out), but because of her beauty, appeal, and charisma. Yes, GMA made her a superstar. Then she moved to ABS-CBN, and a lot of columnists and showbiz reporters were very quick to judge – that her star will fade, that she’ll be “laos”. It wasn’t easy for her – her first teleserye in ABS didn’t do as well as her previous ones in GMA, and people were quick to say “nalalaos na sya”. Her movie with Piolo which grossed P70 million, was not as big a hit compared to other Star Cinema movies. Again, “dahil laos na sya”. Yes, the “mediocre” success of her first two projects with the new network were facts, but people seemed to forget that hardly any of ABS-CBN’s teleseryes rated well in Mega Manila back in late 2000′s, when GMA became No.1. People seemed to forget as well that the overall box office gross of a mediocre hit by Star Cinema is only something other movie productions can dream of. After the “mediocre” performance of her first two major projects, Angel later on starred on two more teleseryes which were both big hits. “Imortal” made a huge mark on primetime and was even extended for another season. She also starred in 4 other movies – all of which grossed more than Php 100 million in box office, with “One More Try” grossing more than Php 230 million, thus becoming one of the biggest Filipino Films of all time. And unlike Bea Alonso whose biggest hits were all with John Lloyd Cruz (except for “Four Sisters and a Wedding”‘ which incidentally also starred Angel), Angel worked with different leading men and casts in all her last four Star Cinema movies, which were all big hits. It makes her the female John Lloyd – Star Cinema’s own box office Queen (together of course with Ms. AiAi delas Alas). Then, there were the awards. Let’s agree that the best young actresses of this generation are all Kapamilyas – Bea, Angelica, Kim, Erich, Maja, and Angel. However, not one of them has received the recognition Angel has gotten for her acting – FAMAS, FAP, Star Awards, PASADO, Guillermo. And – the EMMYS. The EMMYS, eventhough she didn’t win, was enough to validate her prowess as an actress – a real actress. Lastly, she’s one of those celebrities who never run out of endorsement. Right now, she has 7 major endorsements. She’s well trusted, that’s why the products she endorses always remain popular. It doesn’t hurt as well that together with Sarah, Marian, and Kim, she’s one of those celebrities who really have a huge fan base.
I really don’t understand people who keeps on saying that her career is not as big as before. I don’t understand those people saying that she’s a has has been, a faded star. I think their definition of a Superstar is someone they see everyday on TV, someone who keeps on being on the limelight. They want to see Angel the way she was with GMA – overexposed. These people don’t seem to understand how ABS – CBN works with their biggest talents – Judy Ann, Bea, Angelica, Kim, and Claudine back when she was with ABS – they don’t always have TV or movie projects, they take turns in taking the spotlight, yet they endure the test of time. People miss them, and they don’t seem to get enough of them. This is the same for Angel. 6 years after leaving GMA, she’s managed to stay relevent and successful. She’s already reached that point when even if she can’t get another project, she is already an icon.
It’s been six years since she left GMA. When will people start to accept the fact na hindi sya malalaos? Hindi nya kailangan ng Darna to make her shine, because she is still shining.
I rest my case.

Angel is doing well though her blockbuster films are not solely credited to her. But sorry Darna will not be a blockbuster. Gasgas na ang darna movies. Besides Angel is approaching 30 so hinde na fresh. Mas maganda kung sina Sarah G, or Katrin Bernardo. Ang laki ng pata ni Angel at hinde na fresh dami nang pinagdaanan whatever
Lets keep supporting Angel! Lets show Miss Malou Santos that she made the right decision of choosing Miss Angel Locsin to portray the role of Darna once again. We love you Angel.
Agree ako sa nag comment. Ur provoking the fans of angel na mag react para mapag usapan ang artcle mo. Ang bobo mo din gusto mo talaga may nag aaway. Dati ko pa na pansin to. Pupurihin mo si marian one time then the next ookrayin mo. Same with angel ang the ratings minsan kampi ka sa kantar minsan sa agb. Gusto mo nag aaway ang readers mo. Epal lang?
helow? soaring pa rin naman ang carrer ni angel. kaliwa’t kanan ang awards na natatanggap na. visible pa rin sya sa tv at product endorsements. kumikita pa rin naman ng movies nya(one More Time). anong soaring-soaring sinasabi mo? eng-eng naman ng nagsulat sa article na to.
wow
To author of this article :hindi mo ba alam na last movie ni Angel was Four Sisters and a Wedding or bitter ka lng kay Angel?
