To start off the interview, the veteran host asked Angge about her growing up years as a child actress at six years old. “Naalala ko nung unang-una nakita ko yung sarili ko sa TV kasama ko yung mga kalaro ko from Tondo. Andun kami sa sala ng bahay and talagang amazed na amazed kaming lahat kung bakit nandun ako pero nasa TV din ako. So hindi ko siya maintindihan. Hindi ko siya ma-explain. Feeling ko nakakaiyak lang ako kasi bata ako. Mabilis talaga ako maiyak. Parang ang sasabihin lang sa akin nun ‘Uuwi na ang mama mo. Wala ka ng kasama dito,’ iiyak talaga ako. kahit sinong batang sabihan mo ng ganun iiyak talaga di ba?” she shared.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/11/5/fresh-scoops/kim-chiu-bela-padilla-pay-tribute-to-angelica-pan-196722'>READ: Kim Chiu, Bela Padilla pay tribute to Angelica Panganiban on her birthday</a>In the vlog, Angelica also looked back on the many notable roles she has played onscreen and revealed her memorable role in the 2010 film Here Comes The Bride was a project she almost ended up turning down.“Isa talaga yun sa favorite ko. At saka nugn ginagawa ko yung film, dun ko nalaman na adopted ako so kakaibang Angelica yung nakita. Kahit ako hindi ko na nga nakita yung hinahanap na Angelica na yun (laughs). Parang dun lang siya lumabas eh. Tinatanggihan ko yun eh nung in-offer sa akin yung script. Hindi ko kaya magpatawa. Ah no, sabi ko, ‘I-offer niyo na kay Toni (Gonzaga). Kaya ni Toni yan.’ Tapos pinuntahan ako ni tita Malou (Santos) sa dressing room sa Banana Sundae, nagmamakaawa siya na parang hindi daw gagawin ni direk Chris (Martinez) yung movie kung hindi lang din ako yung gagawa ng role na bakla. So nung binasa ko, ang bilis ng tawag ko kila tita Malou. Sabi ko, ‘Tita Malou, binigay niyo na ba kay Toni? (laughs)’ Sabi niya, ‘Hindi pa. Hinintay namin yung final answer mo.’ So okay go gagawin ko siya. Hindi ko pala kayang palampasin,” she explained. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/11/4/fresh-scoops/celebrities-send-birthday-greetings-for-angelica-p-196709'>READ: Angelica Panganiban receives massive love on her birthday</a>A role that she admitted she regrets letting slip away was the 2013 Star Cinema film Four Sisters and a Wedding which starred Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga, Angel Locsin, and Shaina Magdayao. Although she did not divulge which character she was offered to play, Angge said she should not have declined it right away. “Hanggang ngayon hindi ko siya pinapanuod. May mga hindi lang nagkasunduan dun sa mga agreement, ganyan so parang huwag na lang,” she recalled.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/11/15/fresh-scoops/angelica-panganiban-celebrates-birthday-with-bf-f-196879'>READ: Angelica Panganiban celebrates birthday with BF, friends in Subic</a>After starring in a teleserye that ended early this year, Angge said her plans to retire from doing soap operas still stand.“Until now difficult pa din siya. Siguro gusto ko talagang panindigan dahil si Angge may ibang direksiyon na siyang gusto gawin na hindi ko nakikita na matutupad yun kung sobrang involved pa rin ako sa paggawa ng teleserye. Nung ginawa ko yung Playhouse, nung patapos na yung Playhouse with Zanjoe (Marudo) na ginawa namin from 2018 to 2019, nagsabi na ako sa mama ko na tapos na ako sa teleserye. Parang ayoko na.“Then nagbaka sakali yung ABS-CBN nung in-offer nila sa akin yung Walang Hanggang Paalam. Then nagkataon na pandemic, walang prangkisa, so parang, ‘Wow sino ako para tumanggi ng trabaho?’ And yung mga taong puwedeng kumita pag tinanggap ko itong project na ‘to. Sabi ko sige, challenge accepted. Game. Pero nung ginawa ko na siya, dun ko na-realize na okay na ako (laughs). Yung pagod, naka-lock-in, naka-bubble kayo for kalahating taon. So parang okay na, okay na talaga. Then siyempre nagka-love life. Tapos parang baka puwedeng i-enjoy ko muna ‘to,” she explained to Tito Boy in the vlog. Nowadays, Angge said she is happy enjoying a regular life away from the limelight and spending time with her non-showbiz boyfriend Gregg Homan.“Siguro mas kaya kong maging tao lang kasi ang maganda sa akin, nag-aral ako ng regular school eh nung high school ako hanggang nung nag-college ako. Yun naman yung nilaban ng mama ko, na pagkatapos mo sa taping, uuwi ka dito na ikaw pa rin yan, ikaw lang si Angge, ikaw lang siya,” she shared. Angge said that she has movie projects lined up for the near future that she is excited to start working on. “May mga niluluto luto naman. Hopefully masimulan namin yung dream project nila Antoinette Jadaone and direk Dan Villegas. Sana soon magawa na namin yun and sa Star Cinema marami rami naman kaming pinag-uusapan. Sana matuloy na,” she revealed.
