Angel Locsin, reluctant to star in Kokey @ Ako?
Angel Locsin
So fresh from the 37th international Emmy Awards in New York, actress-model Angel Locsin attended the story conference for her upcoming teleserye Kokey @ Ako. A lot of people were actually surprised that she accepted to do the fantaserye right after her Emmy nomination when she could be doing another drama that could earn international acclaim.
“I’m not saying that I’m not choosing what roles I wanna play. Of course coz I’m already about eight years in the industry, I don’t want to act the same roles for me to be trained more. Coz of course, acting is also a learning experience. You doesn’t want to be stucked in one aspect only,” she began.
After some consideration, Angel said she believes that being a part of Kokey @ Ako would actually give her the chance to become a well-rounded actress. “At first I thought it’s just “kokey-kokey only”. But we’ve talked about some things and Kokey is a very interesting story. Then, they explained that it’s not just any ordinary fantasy show, it has an (environmental) cause so I grabbed it. You could learn many things here,” she explained.
Angel Locsin will be playing the role of Jackie, a news reporter who will eventually be involved in Kokey’s search for his lost baby sister as well a mission to save earthlings from a new set of evil aliens. “I’m happy coz its been a while I’m not on tv. And I’m excited coz almost of my shows were for kids and now back to kids again. And its my first time to work with Direk Lauren (Dyogi) who’s our business unit head, Direk Wenn Deramas, and Vhong (Navarro) kthat’s why we’re really looking forward to it,” she stressed.
The cast of Kokey @ Ako start taping on December 15 in time for the show’s premiere in January 2010. Since it was also announced during the meeting that it would be replacing the slot of the top-rating teleserye May Bukas Pa on Primetime Bida, ABS-CBN.com asked Angel how she feels about such a big responsibility on their end. “Yes. Almost all starting shows always have so much pressure . But for me its healthy. If you doesn’t feel any pressure, its like you’re not concerned with your show. Besides you can use it to be more diligent and beautify your show as well as all the things you’re doing,” she stated.
