Angel: I’ve never been drunk by Mario Bautista Tuesday, 23 March 2010 19:53 IS it true Angel Locsin really ran away from home and went to Hongkong? "I did go to Hong Kong with my best friend Lani," she says at the intimate interview arranged by her new manager, Ethel Ramos. "Pero hindi ako naglayas. It was just a spur of the moment decision. Naisipan ko lang. I went to the airport and bought our tickets there. The next day, I left Hong Kong after lunch kasi I have a rehearsal at 4 p.m. here in Manila. 6 p.m., I flew back to Hong Kong, then the next day went to Disneyland, went shopping sa mga tiangge doon, and returned to Manila that night." How about the rumor that she goes to bars and gets wild? "It's true I go to bars, but I've never been drunk in my whole life. Dati, wala akong nightlife, but I'm turning 25 on April 23, nothing wrong naman siguro if I go out and enjoy with some friends. Ang dami na-mang nagpupunta sa bars, ba't ako lang ang nasusulat? Also, it's part of my preparation for the movie I'm doing with Direk Olive Lamasan and Aga Muhlach where I will play a japayuki working in a club in Japan. We'll be shooting there on location next month." So, she finally has work? "Yes, at nagkasabay pa nga sa taping ng new soap ko with John Lloyd Cruz, 'Imortal.' Kaya after mabakante ako for almost a year na nakakainip talaga, heto't maglalagari ako sa movie at sa soap na ididirek naman nina Chito Roño and Jerry Sineneng." Is 'Imortal' a remake of a film starring Vilma Santos? "No. It's different. The story is about a woman na hindi tumatanda. I will play dual roles." How can she start the movie with Aga when he has yet to finish his movie with Regine? "By next month, kahit di pa tapos ang Regine movie, basta magi-start na si Aga ng movie niya with Angel," Manay Ethel declares. We know Ethel doesn't want to handle any more talents? How come she accepted Angel? "Honestly, up to now, di ko pa alam. Basta I'm hoping na mabait sana talaga siya in the true sense of the word. So far, no complaints yet. Basta ang sabi ko sa kanya, ayoko ng sinungaling." Did Angel really backed out of 'Kokey'? "No. Nagulat na nga lang ako and I was the last one to know. Sinabi lang sa'kin ni Tita Ethel. Yun pala, they pulled me out kasi nga magi-start na ang movie ko and the new soap." Luis Manzano is very open in saying he wants to win her back, but it seems she's not reciprocating him. "At least, binababa ko na siya ngayon, nag-uusap na kami, wala nang bastusan. Hindi kasi naging smooth ang breakup namin. Nasaktan talaga ko." What's the cause of their breakup? "Unfair kung babalikan ko pa ang issue kasi si Luis, hindi rin naman nagsalita. Ang importante, mas comfortable na uli kami sa isa't isa. Hindi kami nagmamadali." Some folks say it's because she's on with Chito, the vocalist of Parokya ni Edgar. "We're friends, masaya siyang kasama, but walang ligawan sa amin. Kaya nga nagugulat kaming kami na raw. Dedma na lang." www.journal.com.ph/index.php/showbiz-tsismis/5807-angel-ive-never-been-drunk.html

by Chan-Chan Torres Tuesday, 23 March 2010 18:50 Kabi-kabila ngayon ang intriga kay Angel Locsin. We can’t help but feel sad for her kasi over naman ang mga balitang ibinibintang sa aktres. Na kesyo tambay siya sa mga bar at nagiging lasengga na dahil sa depresyon. May ganoon? Unfair naman ang mga balitang ito, huh. Mula nu’ng nahiwalay si Angel kay Luis Manzano, na sinundan ng hiwalayan blues niya sa dating na si Becky Aguila, sunud-sunod na ang mga intrigang ibinabato kay Angel. How true, nabu-bore na rin daw si Angel dahil wala itong proyekto ngayon kahit sa telebisyon? Oo nga, huli naming napanood si Angel sa isang episode pa ng MMK. May isyu pa ngang naglayas ang aktres pero ito ay hindi rin naman napatotohanan. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nabibigyang-linaw ni Angel ang lahat ng mga kontrobersiyang ibinabato sa kanya. Nakilalang matapang si Angel, hindi siya basta sumusuko lang at umuurong sa laban ng buhay. Isang araw, alam naming magsasalita rin ang aktres para klaruhin ang lahat ng mga ito. Ano naman kaya ang masasabi ni Luis sa mga isyung ito? Ayaw ng fans ng ganyan, noh! www.journal.com.ph/index.php/showbiz-tsismis/5773-bea-ayaw-hadlangan-ang-kaligayahan-nina-shaina-at-john-lloyd.html

Angel Locsin going wild? Stars say no abs-cbnNEWS.com | 03/22/2010 10:30 AM MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN stars on Sunday defended actress Angel Locsin on allegations that she is becoming an alcoholic. Actress Cristine Reyes said there was no truth to rumors that Locsin has a drinking problem. She said Locsin and her friend, Bubbles Paraiso, are very responsible and do not have vices. "Actually si Angel at Bubbles Paraiso (friend of Angel) silang dalawa ang sobrang maalaga sa sarili nila so hindi ko alam bakit sila na iisyu ng ganoon," she said. TV host Valerie Concepcion said she has never seen Locsin drunk in all the years they have been together under the care of talent manager Becky Aguila. "The Buzz" hosts Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino also chimed in, saying that while Locsin is not perfect, she is not in any way becoming an alcoholic. "She is not a perfect angel but napakabuting tao. She is a wonderful, beautiful human being," Abunda said. Added Aquino: "Si Angel ang masasabi ko lang, you cannot put a good woman down. You can say all the nastiest things in the world about her but babangon at babangon 'yan because she has a good heart. Matulungin sa mga tao na sincere... and she is a good friend. So ako I'm standing by you on this Gel count on me." Actor-host Luis Manzano, Locsin's former boyfriend, also belied reports that Locsin "lost control" recently after a late night out with friends. "I can vouch for it. I can bet everything that I have. Hindi siya lasenggera at hindi siya alcoholic. I know that for a fact and people close to her and people know her and kahit fans niya know na hindi siya ganoon," he said. Earlier reports said Locsin "lost control" after going on a drinking spree with friends including Parokya ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda. Another report said Locsin left her home last March 16 and went to Hong Kong without telling her family. It said that Locsin fled because of problems with her former manager, Becky Aguila. But, on her Twitter account last March 16, Locsin said that she was home and did a general cleaning. Currently, Locsin is gearing up for a television series with actor John Lloyd Cruz. and a movie with Aga Muhlach. She is also busy with her newest fitness activities -- pole dancing and insanity workout. as of 03/22/2010 10:30 AM www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/03/22/10/angel-locsin-going-wild-stars-say-no

Angel Locsin reveals role in movie with Aga MuhlachMon at 9:55pm From Pinoy GossipBoy Emmy – nominated best actress Angel Locsin was rumored to frequent bars and get drunk. While many, including myself, did not believe the issue at once, Angel explained that she indeed frequent bars. Angel said though that she never got drunk in a bar. Angel explained that her frequenting bar was part of her research for an upcoming movie role. Angel said that she wants to get the information first hand. The said movie is the much anticipated team-up between Angel and Aga Muhlach wherein the former will play the role of a Japayuki. “First time kong makapasok ng bar. I needed to, since my role in the movie which pairs me with Aga Muhlach is that of a Japayuki,” the young actress said. Well, I told you so. I was pretty sure that someone of Angel’s character won’t waste herself that way. www.facebook.com/notes/angel-locsin/angel-locsin-reveals-role-in-movie-with-aga-muhlach/388371478896

Luis: Angel Locsin not an alcoholicabs-cbnNEWS.com | 03/24/2010 1:44 PM MANILA, Philippines - Luis Manzano defended his ex-girlfriend Angel Locsin from rumors painting her as an alcoholic. Locsin was reportedly seen “wild” and “drunk” in bars. “I honestly have no idea,” Manzano said of the latest rumor hounding Locsin. “Kung ako walang idea, paano pa si Angel? She’s weirded out.” Manzano said Locsin is not capable of drinking a lot of alcohol, so it is impossible that she will become addicted to it. “I could honestly say na hindi ganon si Angel at I’ve never ever seen her tipsy. ‘Di talaga umiinom. Trust me, she is the farthest thing from alcoholic,” he said. “Wala sa kapasidad ni Angel na maging ganung klaseng tao. I can vouch that with my life,” added Manzano. Locsin’s manager, Ethel Ramos, also came to the actress's rescue. She said Locsin is opening her own bar next month that is why she has been sighted in various drinking establishments. Working things outManzano, meantime, talked about his relationship status with Locsin. “So far okay pa naman… only time can tell,” he stated. “I’m still trying to work things out. We’re definitely taking our time. I can’t even say na we’re exclusively dating. We’re just working things out. Back to basics, ika nga.” Manzano, who will resume shooting for the Judy Ann Santos and Sarah Geronimo movie, also commented on Locsin’s upcoming television project with John Lloyd Cruz. “Inagawan pa ako ni Angel,” Manzano commented in jest as he and Cruz portrayed lovers in the Star Cinema movie “In My Life.” He refused to give details on the John Lloyd-Angel primetime starrer and just advised the public to “Watch out for it.” He added that he is “very, very happy and excited” because Cruz and Locsin are great actors. “Alam ko ang kakayahan nila bilang artista, wow.” – With a report from ANC as of 03/24/2010 1:49 PM www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/03/24/10/luis-angel-locsin-not-alcoholic

Anne Curtis defends Angel Locsin from drinking binges rumorBy ALEX VALENTIN BROSAS March 26, 2010, 9:32am Anne Curtis is proving to be a loyal friend to Kapamilya Angel Locsin who has been the subject of nasty rumors lately. Weeks ago, in another entertainment website, Angel was said to have gone alcoholic; reportedly frequenting bars in the company of friends. She was even described as having gone from “bad to worse.” Moreover, the report had it that Angel’s production assistant Melby left her and went to Bicol, presumably because she could no longer cope with the actress' new hobby. Angel’s road manager Jedy was also said to be among many others who are having a hard time dealing with the actress. Chito Miranda, Parokya ni Edgar’s frontman, was dragged into the “alcoholic” issue about Angel. Chito has been tagged as a bad influence on the actress. Chito and Angel, according to the grapevine, were frequently seen bar-hopping together. Anne was shocked by these rumors, especially the one about Angel turning alcoholic. “Ha? Saan naman nanggaling ‘yun? Hindi siya ganyan,” Anne said on “Showbiz News Ngayon,” March 25. Angel is also being assailed for becoming unprofessional but Anne thinks otherwise. “Hindi. Ako, I believe [that] ABS-CBN, you know, has so much in store for her. They’re just waiting for the right time,” she said. Anne, who herself has suffered humiliation with the proliferation of her exposed breast in videos and photos in cyberspace, insists that Angel is no alcholic. “Hindi naman maiiwasan (na uminom), pero hindi ‘yon naglalasing. Wala sa ugali niya,” she stressed. She, too, defended Chito as having influenced Angel to become a guzzler. “I don’t think we should point fingers. No one is in a position judge. You don’t know anything. You don’t know the boy, you don’t know ‘yung grupo,” she said. Angel and Anne’s friendship blossomed in 2009 when they formed Shop & Share, an auction site which raised funds for the victims of Ondoy. A lot of celebrities participated in this worthy endeavour, among them Manny Pacquiao, Ruffa Gutierrez, Kris Aquino, Kim Chiu, Luis Manzano and Pokwang. www.mb.com.ph/node/249586/anne-curti

this blog is cool ..... The Other Side of Angel LocsinFrom the day that Angel Locsin set foot in ABS CBN’s territories, I fell in love with her. I admire her guts and strength. Amidst the various attacks on her supposed disloyalty to the network that brought her to fame, she bravely held her head high and rebuilt her career in her new found home. No, I am not really a die-hard supporter. I used to watch a lot of telenovelas but unfortunately, it’s been difficult for me to find time for TV nowadays. My addiction for online auctions, however, made me cross paths with Angel’s noble project- Shop and Share. Shop and Share was conceptualized to help the victims of Ondoy and Pepeng. The idea was to pool enough funds to donate to the Red Cross. I never knew that there is so much in Angel than a pretty face and a lot of talent. She selflessly shelled out a lot of her valuable possessions to raise money for the needy. I would want to shop and share myself but unfortunately, a lot of the items are a bit pricey… ;-) However, for those of you who are interested, you can check out the listings here- www.shopandshare.ph/index2.htmlHats off to Angel and other Kapamilya Stars!

Finally, Angel Locsin will start working!By CRISPINA MARTINEZ-BELEN March 25, 2010, 12:33pm After several months of not doing TV or movie projects, Angel Locsin will finally start working after the Holy Week. And she is set to do not only one show, but a movie as well. She is excited of course; after all, it’s been a year since she made “Love Me Again (Land Down Under)” with Piolo Pascual, and it’s been nine months since “Only You” (with Sam Milby and Diether Ocampo) ended. Angel’s career is expected to flourish once more, but what’s this rumor saying she has been frequenting bars and seen drinking? And is she so hard up now that she uses public transport? In an intimate dinner with a few entertainment writers, Angel admitted to having gone to bars and having a few drinks with friends. But this is in preparation for her role as a “japayuki” in the yet untitled movie that she is set to do after the Holy Week and which will be directed by Olive Lamasan. “Totoo, nagpunta ako sa isang bar, gumigimik naman ako, pero hindi naglalasing. Sa tanang buhay ko, hindi ako nalasing. Usually, isang shot lang ako. Actually, si Inang pa ang nagsabi sa akin na dapat matuto akong manigarilyo, because my role will also require me to do that,” Angel said. As to riding taxis and other public transportation, Angel said it’s true, “sumasakay nga rin ako sa MRT,” and she explained that once when she had to go to Hong Kong with her best friend Lani, she had to return at once to do some work, and had to go back to Hong Kong again after a few hours. So it was more practical to use a taxi. Angel finds nothing wrong in using public transportation. In her teleserye entitled “Immoral,” Angel will be paired with John Lloyd Cruz under the direction of Chito Roño. No, “Immoral” is not a remake of the Vilma Santos starrer but it is an entirely different story in that it has an element of fantasy. In the soap, Angel will be playing a dual role, which makes it really challenging for the actress. About Luis ManzanoAbout her ex, Luis Manzano, Angel admitted that their relationship is getting better now, “we’re talking, and I’m happy that we’re comfortable with each other again, but we’re still not back together. Hindi naman madali na ibalik yong dati. It’s been nine months since we parted and it’s not fair to be talking about Luis now, although we talk, we are friends…” CNN Hero Efren Peñaflorida is Angel’s ardent suitor and he even visited her at home to tell her father about his intentions. But Angel has told him they can only be friends in the meantime. As to being linked to Chito of Parokya ni Edgar, Angel is baffled, “di ko alam talaga kung bakit kami nali-link, but we are friends. At first, dedma lang kami. But it came to a point that we became bothered na rin.” Angel’s last work was for an episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya” where she had Jake Cuenca as leading man. She was supposed to be in the cast of “Kokey” but there was a change in the casting and she isn’t in it anymore. No, she didn’t back out of the project. “Nagkaroon ng changes, so okay na rin kasi may movie naman akong gagawin,” Angel said with nary a regret. By the way, Angel is now managed by our good friend Ms. Ethel Ramos, who also manages Aga Muhlach, Angel’s leading man in her newest movie. www.mb.com.ph/articles/249455/finally-angel-locsin-will-start-working

Angel Locsin excited to work with Aga Muhlach and John Lloyd CruzMelba Llanera Saturday, March 27, 2010 01:18 AM After her first two-year contract with ABS-CBN ended, Angel Locsin signed up for another two years with the Kapamilya network. Under this new contract and with a new manager, Ethel Ramos, Angel's first two projects will pair her with premiere ABS-CBN stars Aga Muhlach and John Lloyd Cruz. "Nakaka-two years na pala ako sa kanila. Parang ang bilis ng mga pangyayari. Heto pipirma uli ako para masimulan na yung movie ko with Kuya Aga and yung teleserye namin ni John Lloyd," banggit ni Angel nang makausap siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). Naging kuntento at masaya naman daw si Angel sa mga proyektong ginawa niya sa unang dalawang taon niya sa ABS-CBN. Nakagawa siya ng dalawang teleserye (Lobo at Only You) at isang pelikula (Love Me Again) para sa Star Cinema, bukod pa rito ang ilang TV guestings gaya ng ilang episodes sa drama anthology na Maalaala Mo Kaya. "I can say na dito [ABS-CBN] ako nakilalang aktres," deklara ni Angel. "Dati pag mga awards night, hindi naman ako tinatawag. Tapos dito, kahit papaano natuto akong mas maging serious ka sa craft mo. Basta ako, mahal ko ang trabaho kong ito. "Tuturuan ka rin nila na maging patient talaga. Kasi hindi naman kailangang laging nasa TV ka. Exposed ka nga, pero hindi naman ganun kagaganda yung projects mo, parang sayang lang ang gagawin. Dito, sobrang nag-e-enjoy talaga ako. Kahit medyo matagal yung paghihintay ko, okey lang kasi worth it talaga yung mga projects na excited talaga akong gawin." JOHN LLOYD & KOKEY. Isa na rito ay ang fantaserye niya with John Lloyd, at masayang ikinuwento ni Angel ang matitinding preparations na ginagawa niya para rito. "Di lang kasi siya basta-basta acting workshop kasi isa siyang fantasareye. Di siya normal na acting lang, basta may twist sa story na kailangan ng workshop sa acting. Tapos martial arts, harness at kung ano pa ang i-request ng director namin," saad niya. Isa rin sa nakalinyang gagawin sana ni Angel ay ang Kokey@Ako, pero may usap-usapan na hindi na raw matutuloy dito ang aktres. "Actually sa Kokey, hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang nangyari," sabi ni Angel. "In-ask na rin ako ng management na kailangan ko nang simulan yung movie namin ni Kuya Aga, tapos yung sa amin ni John Lloyd. "Hindi ko alam kung kasama pa ako sa Kokey. Parang sayang lang kasi gusto kong makatrabaho si Direk Wenn [Deramas] saka si Vhong [Navarro], pero siyempre kailangan ko ring sundin ang management kung ano ang nakasulat sa timetable nila." NEW MANAGER. Kinumusta rin namin kay Angel ang relasyon nila ng bago niyang manager na si Manay Ethel at kung may komunikasyon pa sila ng dati niyang manager na si Becky Aguila. "Okey naman kami ni Manay Ethel," sagot ni Angel. "Nagsisimula pa lang kami, parang getting-to-know stage pa lang kami. Pero so far, okay naman kami. Very honest, professional... Open naman sa akin si Manay. Kumbaga, wala pa naman kami nagiging problema. She's very motherly, napakabait. "Kami naman ni Tita Becky, nagte-text kami, pero di pa kami nagkikita. Wala namang issue sa amin." LUIS MANZANO. Sa naunang panayam kay Angel ay sinabi niyang pinahihinto na niya ang sobra-sobrang effort ng ex-boyfriend niyang si Luis Manzano para magkabalikan sila. Pero sa hiwalay na panayam ay sinabi ni Luis na hindi siya nadi-discourage lalo pa't gusto niya ang ginagawa niya. Sinabi rin ni Luis na gusto niyang bumawi sa mga naging pagkukulang niya kay Angel. (CLICK HERE to read related story.) "Okey naman kami ni Luis, nag-uusap naman kami," ang reaksiyon dito ng aktres. "Ang sa akin kasi, wala pa akong dapat sabihin sa kung anuman, kasi kami ni Luis, we're okay, we're happy. Siguro ibigay n'yo na lang sa amin yun. Kung magiging kami, magiging kami. Pero hindi naman kami nagmamadali, hindi naman kailangan na maging kami agad. Wala kaming itinatago. Hindi ganun kadali ang mga bagay-bagay. "Regarding diyan sa nagsisisi daw siya sa mga naging pagkukulang niya," patuloy niya, "as much as possible kasi hindi namin pinag-uusapan yung past. To be honest, hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. "Ako, ayoko ng sobrang effort kasi ako yung may problem, ako naman yung hindi ready. Kasi kahit mag-effort nang mag-effort yung tao na hindi ako okey, mag-aaway lang kami. Ako, ayoko ng ganun, kawawa naman siya. Si Luis, hindi naman nawawala yun sa puso ko. Kung gaano siya ka-special noon, ganun pa rin siya sa akin. Kumbaga, kailangan lang namin ng space," paliwanag ni Angel. HELPING FRANCINE. Marami naman ang natuwa sa tulong na ibinigay ni Angel at iba pang mga artista sa aktres na si Francine Prieto, na ang ina ay may sakit na colon cancer. Isa kasi si Angel sa mga nanguna sa pagkakalap ng donation para makatulong sa medical expenses ng ina ni Francine. Pero ani Angel, "Lahat ng kasama sa industriya, tumulong naman, hindi naman kami nahirapang mag-ask ng tulong. Actually sila Anne [Curtis], sila Luis [Manzano], Diana [Zubiri] ang nagsimula. Kasi hindi naman ako kasama sa grupo nila, pinasok nila ako, tapos nagtulong-tulong kami. Kulang pa. Kailangan maka-one million, kailangan pa rin namin ng suporta ng mga tao kasi hindi ganun kadali ito." www.pep.ph/articles/21517/Angel-Locsin-excited-to-work-with-Aga-Muhlach-and-John-Lloyd-Cruz

Discover the Splendour of Michael Cinco at this years Dubai Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2010As the Dubai Fashion Week returns and unveils again for the 7th time in Dubai, this April, with spectacular and extravagant designers from the around the world; fashion lovers and connoisseurs will witness a new spectacle of opulence, magnificence and luxury. Michael Cinco, one of the region’s finest fashion designers, will be demonstrating to the public his latest Autumn Winter Collection for year 2010 on April 6th 2010 at 8pm in Jumeirah Emirates Towers – Godolphin Ballroom. “We are proud to be part of this glamorous event that nurtures emerging talents and the industry as a whole; and continues to bring a collection of local and international designers on one ramp to promote them further” says Michael. Dubai Fashion Week has become the forum for designers, buyers and media with an objective to strengthen business relations within the fashion industry. This event, therefore, will aim to provide Michael with an exclusive platform to showcase his development in the fashion business as a whole. Michael Cinco’s work will portray the meaning of his simplistic and classy style, which will be a triumph. With CRYSTALLIZED – Swarovksi Elements, vibrant colours, and extravagant models; Cinco’s work will appear to belong to a genre of representational fashion style that is local and deeply magnificent. Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma according to Michael Cinco. “The purpose of participating in this event is to bring to fashion lovers a composite of styles with all its splendour and glory embedded in imagination and affluence. On a broader note, in this larger-than-life event, the vision is to provide all fashion lovers a repertoire of the finest fashion styles for this autumn/winter 2010” Background of Michael Cinco: Born in the south of Samar, Philippines in 1971, the picturesque place that provided Michael Cinco with a lush setting where his imagination would run in wild abandon. As a child Michael was very fond of watching old Hollywood movies in black and white and envisioned those fabulous heroines painted in his mind with a myriad of colours, dressing up the glamorous women with his imaginary creations in their severe chignons and deadly stilettos, conjuring up grand entrances. He grew up watching beautiful classy women as he went chasing that dream and finding it. By year 1988, Michael was a state scholar taking up Fine Arts in a reputed university in the Philippines. He took up fashion courses in 1991 and started to design hotel and office uniforms in a Japanese firm by the year 1992. Michael was persuaded by a friend to work in Dubai. Moving to the Middle East was a big leap for him; however he took the plunge because he believed that this region is reckoned to be the haven of haute couture. In 1997, Michael moved to Dubai. His first job was very challenging...he was about to change the image of a slightly staid big fashion house. " I was so scared and don't know what to do but eventually had the courage to reinvent the image of the house and I think the Dubai fashionistas eventually saw the catcher of an edgy, new young designer." Michael says. Soon the fashionable woman of Dubai has been choking on their Carpaccio as he began to inject a new vigour into couture. Michael left Dubai for London and Paris to study special fashion courses in prestigious Central Saint Martin's School of Art in 2002 to honed and broaden his craft. By the year 2003, Michael went back to Dubai to open his own couture house with a business partner. He is now the creative director of Michael Cinco Haute Couture that caters mainly on fabulous wedding gowns and unique evening dresses. He wowed audiences abroad as he joined the Miami Fashion Week last year and his couture dresses has been worn by prominent divas and celebrities. His controversial dress in Emmy Awards last year made a stir on the red carpet as it was worn by famous Filipino actress Angel Locsin when she was nominated for best actress category. In search for inspiration Michael states " I travel a lot...my visual research ranges over many cultures and periods. Every item that interests me is collected in my mind to be used as possible future stimuli...i believe all artists are eclectic "borrowers" throwing wide their nets in search for inspirations. www.eyeofdubai.com/v1/news/newsdetail-41779.htm
