MANILA, Philippines – Actress Angelica Panganiban broke her silence on Thursday on the controversy over an alleged photo of hers that has been circulating in the Internet.
The photo allegedly shows the topless actress.
In an interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Panganiban vehemently denied that she is the woman in the picture.
“Hindi po ako iyon at malayong malayo po ang katawan ko doon. Sabi ko nga kung puwede ko lang ipakita ang aking katawan, gagawin ko kaya lang baka mawalan naman ako ng trabaho noon,” she said.
According to Panganiban, she visited the website where the photo is posted.
She also confessed that even she got confused because the girl in the photo really looks like her.
“May tumawag kasi sa akin dati pa sinasabi na 'o may kumakalat na picture mo pero hindi naman ikaw kaya lang may mga nagki-claim na ikaw nga.' Picture ko nga raw at nagsusuot nga daw ako ng bra. Pinuntahan ko yung site. Kahit ako na-confuse. Pero alam ko yung katawan hindi ako ‘yon. Pero tinitignan ko ‘yong muka, grabe kamukhang-kamukha ko naman ‘to,” she said.
The actress called on the public to stop spreading the picture because it is not pleasing.
“Hindi ko naman iyan papatulan. Sana lang tumigil na. Sa taong nagkakalat nito, babae ka man o lalaki, sana magkaroon ka naman ng konting hiya. Isipin mo na lang na may kapatid kang babae, may nanay ka tapos ganito ang ginagawa mo. Hindi nakakatuwa,” said Panganiban.
