A netizen shared her excitement after realizing that Angel Locsin was shooting for her show ‘Iba Yan’ last October 5 at Our of Lady Grace Church in Caloocan City.
“Nagsimba lang naman kami nakita ko na si Angel Locsin, super ganda,” netizen Angelica Santos shared.
Angelica, however, did not expect for her post to go viral with netizens reacting on the Angel’s body figure.
“Katawan lang talaga ang tumaba sa kanya. Ang mga braso at mukha ganun pa din. Pero ang ganda ganda pa din nya,” a netizen wrote.
“Ganyan talaga effect ng spinal injuries. Lalo na sa gamot talagang bloat kung bloat. Ako dati pinagtake ako ng steroids kasi inflamed na talaga mga joints ko tapos nangyari sakin parang namanas yung kalahati ng mukha ko, then bumilog katawan ko pero braso at hita hindi. Tapos parang nagkabukol bukol ako sa spine at mga tuhod,” another netizen said indicating Angel’s spine injury.
In 2018, Angel revealed that continues to undergo physical therapy three years since she first discovered having a spinal injury. She explained that years of intensive training for various roles, including, at the time, her role as the superheroine Darna, had taken a toll on her physical condition. It was 2015 when she developed a bulging disc injury.
In an interview at that time, the actress explained: “May time na for ilang days, hindi ako nakalakad. Isang araw, gumising na lang ako na hindi ako makatayo, ni gapang, ni hatak sa sarili, hindi ko magawa . . . Isang oras na ako na sa floor.”
Angel has repeatedly address body shamers in previous interviews.
“Kung iisipin mo, parang maaawa ka na lang sa tao kasi anong klaseng person ka para magawa mo yun? Perfect? Perfect ka? Sobrang perfect mo? Hindi mo na lang papatulan. May mga bagay na hindi mo gagawin sa kapwa mo,” Angel said in an interview with Boy Abunda last year.
“So itong taong ‘to, comfortable siya na ginagawa niya iyan, parang ayoko mag-deal sa mga ganung klaseng mga tao. Kasi ang sad, ang sad ng life niya.Kasi ako, wala akong problema. Ba’t ikaw ang dami mong issue?” she added.
