Efren Peñaflorida is courting Angel Locsin; She just wants to be friends for now

Published: 4th of January, 2010

Looks like CNN Hero of the Year Efren Peñaflorida has found the leading lady of his dreams in actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin. Peñaflorida is said to be courting her and has even talked to Locsin's father about it, reports PEP.ph.

"Pumunta siya sa bahay. Mas una niyang kinausap 'yung dad ko kesa sa akin… Nahihiya ako. Ano ba 'yan, nawawala ako! Ang init ng pisngi ko," Locsin told TV host Boy Abunda in The Buzz on January 3.

Peñaflorida posted this photo of him and Locsin on his Facebook account with the caption,
Peñaflorida posted this photo of himself and Locsin on his Facebook account with the caption, "God answered me after 5 long years of praying to meet her and be her FRIEND!"

"Sinabi ko sa kanya na medyo natatakot akong sabihin sa kanya kasi siyempre siya 'yung nakikitang hope ng bansa natin eh. Para sa akin kasi, ang mas kailangan natin ngayon sa Pilipinas 'yung hope. Dahil magulo nga ang buhay ko dahil nasa showbiz ako, ayokong 'yung hope na maibibigay niya sa mga tao, maapektuhan ng dahil sa akin.

"Sinabi ko sa kanya kung ready na ba siya na... Ay, nahihiya ako! Kung ready na ba siya na harapin 'yung mga 'yun. Sinabi ko na, well ako kasi gusto ko friendship muna," Locsin added.

On the same day as The Buzz interview, Peñaflorida posted on his Facebook account, "For more than five years I have been praying FOR her. This year I am now praying WITH her! It is worth all the wait. TRULABW8S! [True love waits!] Thank you Lord!!!! ;)"

Locsin, who launched Shop and Share online auction with actress and friend Anne Curtis to help the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, said they have been friends on Facebook even before Peñaflorida won the CNN Hero of the Year award for teaching underprivileged children through kariton classrooms. "'Yung mga cause na ginagawa niya, sinusuportahan ko. Naniniwala ako sa mga gusto niyang gawin."

According to Locsin, they met on the plane she boarded to New York where she attended the 37th International Emmy Awards on November 23 in which she was nominated Best Actress for Lobo.

Bagay sila! parehong maka-masa.

a real hero deserves a real heroine. angel locsin is truly a woman of substance. that's why a sensible man like efren gets attracted to her.

So porke sikat ka na, manliligaw ka na ng artista?

Maraming nanligaw at nagpakasal sa artista kahit hindi sikat.

Medyo hawig pa nya si Piolo.

So ano yun, lahat ng mga ginawa niyang charity, ploy lang para sumikat at makapagligaw ng artista?

mas hahangaan ko sana sya kung simpleng babae ang niligawan nya. i like angel locsin too, admirable din si angel.. pero di yata bagay sa pagkatao at gawain ni efren ang lifestyle at image ni angel. i can imagine na maraming kabataang babae na sobrang humahanga at may crush sana kay efren penaflorida ang disappointed ngayon sa kanya sa pagka diskubre na ang "hero" nila ay typical male rin lang pala.

GO EFREN!! Every man deserves to be happy! Angel, ano pa hinihintay mo? Self-made, may drive, successful, respected, si Efren. Mukhang di pa mag pupulitika yan! Winner!

wtf

is he fcking delusional or what? if he can make angel say yes para ka na ng nagtampo sa bigas nyan

duh

nah i don't think type sya ni angel. mahilig sya sa maganda pero di naman sya gwapo. si angel mahilig sa gwapo yan, mga kasing gwapo ni piolo ang type nyan. gudlak hahaha!

sus

sus gimmick lang nila ni Becky Aguila

there goes my respect for efren.

ambisyoso din si efren hahaha...nakakatawa tuloy sya...sya virgin pa si angel di na...hahaha..baliktad na mundo ...hahaha

ituloy mo efren ligawan mo si angel ipagsigawan mo sa mundo mahal mo sya..magpakatanga ka sa pag ibig no problem until such a time na makasal si angel sa iba wag kang tumigil...kaya lang mukhang liberated si angel,tangapin mo na di na kaw nakabukas ng baul..oo mabait sya sa masa but it could be fake and it doesnt mean she likes people like u na makamasa din..pero wala namang masama na ligawan si angel karapatan mo yan kung ako nasa estado mo ganun din gawin ko..pagkakataon mo na yan...go for it n never surender...

Why should we judge Efren's personal choices? This is his personal life, so let us all veer away from harsh criticism. If he courts this actress, does that make him less of a hero?

hi...mukhang mabait nma sya..uhmm pero bakit?akala ko pa nman ayos na kayo luis,sayang nman bigla nlng nmawla,parang bula lng wala agad!!sabagay,sana maging happy ka angelica,maganda ka subra!!!iba ka sa lahat,,,,ingat

hi wag ka munang magpakasiguro..kng maging kayo man parang syang nanalo ng lotto kaw nman yung nbahaan..wag kang magpakatanga anel..syempre nanabik sayo yun sikat ka kaya...

I agree with gecko, this is this guy's personal choice. If he wants to court Angel,why should we criticize him for that? And besides, him courting Angel Locsin won't change what he did for countless Filipino children.

Naging epal na si Kuya Efren. Sisirain nya ang achievements nya para sa isang artistang sasaktan lang naman sya. Ang labas nga, he is using his award to win the girl. Sayang. Akala ko noble and intentions. Tsktsk. Paano nya pa ivivindicate ang sarili nya? Kalungkot. Kundi artista, siguro pulitiko din ang bagsak nya. Sad :(.
