Angel Locsin's career at end?

Article from http://news.balita.ph

Will GMA-7's former teleserye queen, Angel Locsin's untimely decamp to ABS-CBN be the end of her career?

Angel has been the talk of the town for the past two months, especially when she left for London for a two-week fashion designing study.

Her career has been held in abeyance for a while but ABS-CBN says she will soon have her own teleserye with Piolo Pascual.

Varied reactions have been heard from her fans and the warring studios, movie producers and kibitzers; bordering on violence/outrage or different degrees/shades of understanding.

Some have called Angel and "ingrate" or "traitor" for leaving the studio that gambled time, money, effort and immeasurable amount of love so she could become a superstar.

Others insist she is just doesn't possess loyalty and is more interested in money or royalty after earning at least P40 million with GMA-7.

You see Angel around in numerous endorsements, commercials on print and electronic media because she happens to be one of the most effective product endorsers.

She has had some hit movies with Richard Gutierrez but her popularity isn't yet that secure like Claudine Barreto or Judy Ann Santos who has replaced Claudine as the queen of Channel 2.

So what do showbiz's most vocal and feared talent managers say about Angel's decamping to the other side? <>In one one of his live radio shows, Alfie Lorenzo, who manages the late-blooming Judy Ann Santos said: "That would be the end of Angel's career. She reigned supreme at GMA-7 and was treated as a queen, with plenty of perks and expansion. Why should she want to go to Channel 2 and compete with several wanna-bes' for Claudine's crown?"

Alfie added, "Does she think she will get royal treatment from the rival network? Will it be fair if she gets more projects than those who have slaved their lives at ABS-CBN? Do you think she is better in terms of talent, beauty, box-office appeal? She can't dance nor sing, that's a big minus on her."

But the controversial Lolit Solis has other things to say. "What Angel has done is a common phenomenon to the movie world. When a talent wants to earn more money and thinks he/she wants bigger opportunities for his/her talent improvement, why not go to a source who can provide what he/she wants?"

Lolit one time called Angel "traydor" which made her manager, Becky Aguila react with high blood and a promise to answer Lolit's allegation.

Anyway, she said, GMA-7 can always find other better, much younger and potential stars who can outlive the restless and wandering Angel Locsin.

GMA-7 no longer talks about their former studio star but Channel 2 seems to discuss with relish its advantages gained with Angel's transfer to its stable.

As the cliche says," Watch out for the next chapter." (PNA)
