MANILA – Movie and television actress Angel Locsin returned home Saturday night after attending the 37th International Emmy Awards in New York in the United States.
Locsin, who was nominated for her performance in ABS-CBN teleseries "Lobo," failed to grab the best actress award, but she said she is still grateful for being nominated and to be part of the prestigious event.
Locsin said she is also proud that many international journalists have been captivated by her Filipino-designed gown.
“Nakakatuwa kasi na-appreciate nila ‘yong gown ko. Kinakausap nila ako ng iba’t ibang language. May taga-Brazil, China… I’m happy na na-appreciate nila ang gown ko.… Just being there, sobrang honor na,” she said.
The actress also thanked ABS-CBN for giving her the opportunity to be part of “Lobo.” She was also grateful to her leading man, Piolo Pascual, who sent her a bouquet of flowers before the gala night.
“Hindi pa ako makapag-react kasi di ko naman sure kung [sa kanya nanggaling] ‘yon. Noong makita ko na sa kanya nga, happy ako. Very happy ako at nakatrabaho ko si Piolo,” she said.
Locsin is the second Filipina to be nominated under the best actress category in the competition.
She followed Tessie Tomas who was nominated for her role as former first lady Imelda Marcos in the 1989 film "A Dangerous Life."
Meanwhile, Malaysian actress Carmen Soo also said she is proud to be part of another International Emmy nominee, “Kahit Isang Saglit.”
ABS-CBN's "Kahit Isang Saglit" was also nominated under the telenovela category. The Filipino TV series lost to Brazil’s “India-A Love Story.” -With a report from ANC
