While it can be argued that Angel Locsin may not currently enjoy the immense popularity she once had as television’s “Darna” when she was GMA 7’s top female talent, her controversial transfer to ABS-CBN, at least, now made her an award-winning actress.
The Philippine Movie Press Club Star Awards for Television held last Sunday at the SMX Convention Center recognized Angel as having given the Best Single Performance by an Actress for the “Maala-ala Mo Kaya” episode “Pilat.”
This is Angel’s first acting award.
In addition, her first primetime drama in ABS-CBN, “Lobo” was awarded the Best Primetime TV series and her co-star Piolo Pascual, the Best Drama Actor.
GMA 7 was voted Best Station, apart from 21 other awards, which included the Best Drama Actress for Sunshine Dizon in “Impostora,” Best Male TV Host for Vic Sotto in “Eat Bulaga,” Best Comedy Actor for Ogie Alcasid in “Bubble Gang,” Best Comedy Actress for Rufa Mae Quinto in “Bubble Gang” Best Female Newscaster for Vicky Morales in “Saksi,” Best Daytime Drama Series for “Kaputol ang Isang Awit,” Best Comedy Show for “Ful Haus,” Best Musical Variety Show for “SOP,” Best Morning Show for “Unang Hirit,” Best Documentary for “Signos: Ang Banta ng Nagbabagong Klima,” Best Documentary Program for “I-Witness,” and Best Children’s Show for “Art Angel,” among others.
ABS-CBN, on the other hand, achieved the most individual awards with 26. Apart from Angel and Piolo’s victories, the Kapamilya network also bagged Best Single Performance by an Actor for Joshua Dionisio in the “Maala-ala Mo Kaya” episode “Sako,” Best Female Host for Valerie Concepcion in “Wowowee,” Best Male Newscaster for Julius Babao in “TV Patrol World,” Best Drama Anthology for “Maala-ala Mo Kaya,” Best Newscast for “TV Patrol World,” Best Showbiz-Oriented Talk Show for “The Buzz,” Best Showbiz-Oriented Talk Show Hosts for Boy Abunda, Ruffa Gutierrez and Cristy Fermin in “The Buzz,” Best Game Show for “Pilipinas Game KNB?,” and Best Gag Show for “Goin Bulilit,” among others.
TV5 (formerly ABC-5) won Best Talent Search Program for “Shall We Dance” and Best Talent Search Program Host for Lucy Torres-Gomez, Arnell Ignacio and Dominic Ochoa in the same program.
UNTV 37 also took home two plums—Best Public Service Program for “Bitag” and Best Public Service Program Host for its presenter, Ben Tulfo.

Angel’s got the potential of being the best thespian that she can be!
grace
angel deserved that award….She’s a good actress…aside from that she is beautiful in and out
lianna
angel was a star while she was at gma 7 but abs-cbn is transforming her into an actress. obviously, she has already shown that she can act. what shud be considered from now on is the choice of acting projects to accept. i hope angel wont be swallowed by the system and that she will always be humble & thankful for the good things that she is enjoying now.
Ryan
Angel must be from HELL? Coz she’s so HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Hi Grace!!!!
evelyn
i’m happy for angel…still i felt in a way she’s neglected by her chosen network. She’s not able to sustain her popularity and in a way her bankability.
eyra gabuyo
angel’s award is a result of how abs-cbn managed their actors and actresses for decades….
where is JUDY ANN SANTOS now and CLAUDINE BARRETO?? they are now 2 of the most versatile and respected actresses of this generation….
and on GMA7
where is COGIE DOMINGO?
where is KIM de LOS SANTOS???
where is ANTOINETTE TAUS???
where is DINO GUEVARRA???
they are now has beens/never was
matet
angel is one of the most promising young star of today’s generation…congrats!

Please confirm, as per previous reports, since Marimar is a foreign franchise show (from Mexico), it is disqualified from earning any Star Awards nomination. If so, then your following paragraph is inaccurate:
“Interestingly, Angel’s heiress in the Kapuso throne, Marian Rivera, did not impress PMPC voters as she was shut out in the awards. There was not even a single award for GMA 7’s “MariMar,” Marian’s vehicle to stardom which tallied the highest primetime Metro Manila and nationwide television ratings.”
PMPC voters are not allowed to vote for Marimar.

angel deserves the award… i pray that in the coming days she’l be given a chance to do more roles that will give her other acting awards…keep up… dont mind your detractos….

You seem to be publishing only comments favorable to Angel Locsin. Even comments meant to clarify certain portions of your article have not been approved for posting.As editor, more so that you should be open to constructive criticism. If PMPC has no such rule prohibiting foreign franchise from being nominated,then you should post such comments just the same and just clarify that there is no such rule. Inquirer has always been known for balanced and not biased reporting. This principle should be extended to showbiz articles as well.

OMG… naawa ba sila kay angel??? hmmp?! admit it, when she transfer to abs, nalaos xa ng bonggang bongga… after the what so called “serye” LOBO.. nasan na sya??? super awa or maybe…. no comment na lang… well, goodluck na lang sa kanya and MORE exposure ika nga ni Patani… hahahaha
danda
she made the right decision to move to another network to improve her craft. she did got famous with her previous network for her fantasy and tweetum roles, but it is not enough when a fine actress as she is craves for more challenging projects to show her talent and versatility.
meila
I firmly disagree with you eyra. Angel will never be a star if not for GMA. Never ever give all that credits to ABS. Judy Ann became a star because of her diligence, perseverance and all hard work. Do not credit that all to ABS. Claudine “perhaps” because she never ever jumped from one bakod to another to be a star. There are factors in becoming a star. It’s not all the network. Don’t judge from what network you belong. Consider talent, attitude, connections, face value, luck, fans etc. Don’t ask where is Cogie or Antoniette or Dino or Kim. It would be better to ask who is Cogie or Antoniette or Dino or Kim.
nikki
I don’t know why people keep saying that Angel is the “trying hard one” and not Marian. Atleast this shows once and for all who is the most talented which is Angel not Marian who’s voice is not only obnoxious but unappealing in the silver screen. QUIT SAYING ANGEL SUCKS CAUSE MARIAN HAS NOTHING ON HER.
Jer
Angel was a star when she was in GMA. But now, she can be considered an ACTRESS!!!
Bobobo
I hope Angel follows in the great tradition of filipina actresses and become like sunshine cruz and ina raymundo truly revealing actresses in their right!
beth
I dont care what GMA pipol are saying about angel locsin, All I care is, I like this girl a lot. Its apparent that she has a good heart it manifest through her actions.. So pls…GMA -Move On na.. OK!!
reggie
the problem with everybody kc d nakikita na nanggagaya lang abs sa gma..there are many proofs to that already..and la na ginawa abs kundi mag pirate e ciempre mukhang pera mga mgr ng mga talents no,take the case of anne curtis
Elmer
I do agree on all positive comments mentioned about Angel Locsin (I love this girl) & the best thing that ABS did for her. We’re televiewers here abroad & we both have GMA Pinoy & TFC-ABS, sa totoo lang mas maganda talaga ang TFC, mas marami ang tumatangkilik lalo na dito sa labas ng bansa na mas may taste kung paano pumili ng panoorin. Hindi totoo at credible and mga survey-survey na yan sa Pinas, pero nationwide, mas mataas ang rating at no. 1 ang ABS, just like Lobo, mas maganda ng di hamak sa Marimar at Dyesebel. Paulit ulit lang ang story, binago lang ang mga casts. Ang sama pa sa GMA ay maraming sinasabi kung lilipat ang kanilang mga talents,,,ang sama sama nyo,,,,,,, di katulad ng ABS wala kang marinig. Hay naku mga loyalists ng GMA tumahimik na kayo sa luma nyong TV technology. Eat Bulaga lang ay ang pangit pangit ng format, luma na at korning-korning,,, di katulad ng Wowowee,,, the best!!! ABS the best talaga!!!!!!!!!
