Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Angelica Panganiban

Angelica Panganiban wears Ellie Saab to the Star Magic Ball 2012. Angelica is truly one versatile actress who's not only good in drama but also does so well in comedy. But I really like her better in bitchy roles like her role in "Ruby."

Last seen in "Every Breath You Take" opposite Piolo Pascual, she will be in "24/7 in Love" with real-life sweetheart John Lloyd Cruz. I just learned that from the news. Angelica is also working on an upcoming soap opera with Melai Cantiveros. Perhaps it will be shown next year.

20 Years of Star Magic on ASAP (Part 1)

The following scanned photos are featured in Star Studio Magazine September 2012 edition. This was the celebration of the 20th year of Star Magic in a special segment on Sunday variety show ASAP.

This part features Bea Alonzo, KC Concepcion, Angelica Panganiban, and Pokwang.

Bea Alonzo wears Martin Bautista

Bea Alonzo, now one of the prettiest faces in local showbiz, stars in the latest blockbuster movie, The Mistress, opposite John Lloyd Cruz. The John Lloyd-Bea tandem is celebrating their 10th year anniversary as a showbiz love tandem.

KC Concepcion wears Von Lazaro

KC Concepcion hosts X-Factor Philippines that is currently running on local TV. I think she's doing a great job. But then I would be biased 'coz KC is my favorite local female artist. I'm also currently working on a scrapbook about her.

Angelica Panganiban wears Jerome Salaya Ang

Angelica Panganiban was last seen on movie Every Breath You Take, opposite Piolo Pascual. She is currently working on a local soap opera with the same leading man titled Apoy sa Dagat.

Pokwang wears Bing Cristobal

Pokwang is one of local showbiz's funny comediennes. She's currently part of afternoon drama Aryana (another mermaid tale) and weekly sitcom TodaMax. 

Yes! Magazine : 20 Years of Star Magic

I can't resist it when I see celebrities donning lovely gowns. Here I came upon the latest Yes! Magazine feature on some of the brightest stars of this generation. It's a good thing we've got a scanner so I can share the magazine pics here.

I love their nice dresses too! Not as formal as the lovely gowns, but just as lovely!

The star-studded sequel to the popular "Maging Sino Ka Man" telenovela that left some memorable lines from Sam Milby and Anne Curtis. Their romance also supposedly also started during the first series. But if there's one tandem I would want to watch on TV again, it would be Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. 

"Tayong Dalawa" was another star-studded telenovela. Agot Isidro's performance was outstanding. The ending (with Rosanna Roces and Enchong Dee) was rather strange though. They probably thought of a sequel but never pushed through. And Coco Martin, from being second lead, has now become one of the most sought after leading men.

Do you remember this telenovela that starred Bea Alonzo, Gretchen Barretto, Angel Aquino, and Erich Gonzales? I actually liked Angel Aquino's portrayal of Vera. But I believe it was Gretchen who bagged a best actress award for this teleserye.

Alas, Claudine Barretto's last telenovela for ABS-CBN Kapamilya network before making the move to GMA-7 Kapuso network. Memorable lines from both Catherine and Scarlet played by Claudine and Angelica Panganiban, respectively. I believe Angelica has successfully reinvented herself in this teleserye. 

Angelica Panganiban

Angelica Panganiban was pretty controversial for a while having been involved in an issue with Claudine Barretto. Now it seems both camps are quiet. I would consider Angelica as one of the most versatile actresses in Philippine showbiz. She's great in both comedy and dramatic roles. But I particularly liked her in "Ruby."

Angelica looked just as stunning in last year's Star Magic ball, although I didn't quite like her gown. Nonetheless, it was different compared to the other lovely gowns of the other belles of the ball. Black seems to be the main theme of last year's ball as a good number of the ladies who attended wore black too. That's Derek Ramsey, Angelica's beau looking on while Angel gets photographed.
