Although it was their first time to do intimate scenes together, she was grateful because he really made an effort to make her feel comfortable. “<i>Napaka</i>-protective <i>niya, na ayaw niyang masilipan</i> or <i>ayaw niyang maramdaman ng kaeksena niya na, ‘Uy baka</i> feeling <i>nito nababastos ko na siya</i> or <i>baka sumusobra na ako, lumalampas na ako sa </i>boundaries <i>ko.’ Wala akong mararamdamang ganong sa kanya.</i> In fairness <i>sa kanya, siya ang pinakamagaling mag-</i>handle <i>ng</i> leading lady<i> sa mga nakaeksena ko.”</i> </div><div><br/></div><div>Angelica further shared that it helps that Dingdong is very warm to the whole cast and staff of Star Cinema even though he works for a rival network. They previously worked together in the horror-suspense flick Segunda Mano. “<i>Nakakatuwa kasi sabi ko nga si</i> Dingdong<i> noh, parang akala mo Kapamilya</i> star<i> siya kasi sobra siyang nagiging</i> out <i>talaga sa mga tao, sa mga katrabaho niya. Hindi mo mararamdaman na taga-ibang</i> network <i>siya</i> or <i>naiilang siya. Siguro dahil pangalawang</i> project <i>na rin niya kasama kami.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>Truth be told though, Angelica revealed that Angel Locsin has more love scenes due to the nature of the story. <i>“Mas marami talagang </i>love scenes<i> si </i>Angel<i> dahil siya ang mas maraming kailangan ma</i>-achieve. <i>Pero bongga naman kinalabasan ng lahat, disente naman, matino naman. </i>Actually,<i> yung sa amin ni</i> Dingdong, instead of dating style <i>ng</i> love scene<i> na [pakitaan ng mas madaming] skin, dito talagang pinagisipan namin nila </i>Direk Ruel Bayani<i> kung paano ba [kumilos] yung </i>modern young couple? <i>Paano ba yung sa umaga?</i> So very<i> bagets,</i> cute, <i>aliw, saya,” </i>she cheerfully explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>As for being one of the possible nominees for Best Actress in the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival Awards, Angelica maintained that she feels privileged to be pitted against the country’s one and only Superstar Nora Aunor. <i>“Sobra naman namin itong pinaghirapan </i>and<i> sa</i> <i>totoo lang maitabi lang kami sa pangalan ni </i>Ate Guy...<i>Sino ba naman magiisip na ang tagal ng artista ni </i>Ate Guy, superstar <i>siya at masama ka lang sa listahan ng mga nominado kasama siya, malaking bagay na yun. Pero katulad ng sinabi ni </i>Angel,<i> hindi rin naman namin minamaliit yung</i> performance <i>namin sa pelikulang ito and sobra kaming</i> positive <i>[sa kung ano man ang magiging resulta ng pelikula.]”</i></div><div><br/></div>
