Angel Aquino gamely revealed that she ‘likes girls’ when asked to share a tidbit of herself, clarifying that she also falls in love with fellow women.
Aquino shared that she ‘likes girls’ in a The Daily Dish interview last September when she was asked to reveal something about herself that people do not know about.
‘Oh, I don’t know, my life is an open book. I like girls? There. Well, a lot of people are in denial – sila talaga ‘yung in denial (they are the ones in denial),’ she said.
Before capping off her interview, Aquino clarified that she ‘also falls in love with girls and women,’ noting that her words might be taken out of context by other netizens on social media.
‘Wait, can I just correct that because I said I like girls. You know that might sound – especially with social media – it might sound weird,’ she said. ‘I’m saying I also fall in love with girls and women. They might think it, you know, it can sound weird kasi if you just if you take it as is.’
Aquino’s statement soon made rounds on social media, with many expressing how happy they are for the actress to be open about the people she likes. Aquino was previously married to Ian Bernardez in 1995, with their marriage getting annulled nine years later. She then dated TV presenter Lui Villaruz from 2007 to 2011.
The actress is currently part of the cast of the action drama ‘Batang Quiapo’ and the Sari Dalena-helmed Cinemalaya 2025 entry ‘Cinemartyrs.’
