Why Angelica Panganiban retired from teleseryes
Having brought to life dozens of teleserye characters in the past 30 years, Angelica Panganiban is now resolved to focus on her own, and to have a simple one with less time spent under the limelight.
“Mas simpleng buhay, mas tao,” Panganiban told ABS-CBN News, when asked about the new direction she wants to take in her life, after retiring from teleseryes.
The acclaimed actress remains active in showbiz, with a mini-series just released this month, and another set to premiere in early 2022.
But those two projects, unlike starring in a teleserye, have allowed Panganiban to strike a healthy balance between work and personal life, Panganiban shared.
Panganiban’s final teleserye was the primetime drama “Walang Hanggang Paalam,” which concluded in April 2021. She then took on back-to-back limited series — the ongoing “The Kangks Show” and the upcoming “The Goodbye Girl.”
“Ganoon pa rin ang working hours mo, ganoon pa rin ‘yung speed ng work. Siguro lang, ang pinaka-okay, alam mong may ending. Alam mo na pagkatapos ng isang buwan, makakauwi ka, makaka-recharge ka, makakalimutan mo, masasara mo ‘yung chapter na ‘yun, then move on ka sa iba.
“Hindi tulad ng sa teleserye, ang tagal mag-move on. Lalo na, ‘pag teleserye kasi, usually, talagang heavy drama, ‘di ba? May patayan. Masama ugali mo kung kontrabida ‘yung role mo. Kung bida ka, iyakin ka. So parang hanggang bahay dala mo siya. Hanggang hindi tapos ‘yung buong series, hindi ka nakaka let go.
“So may kasama siyang depression, kasi nauuwi mo ng bahay, hindi mo nari-release lahat. After a year ka lang makaka-move on, doon mo lang mali-let go lahat ng pain ng character. So mas madaling kargahin ang mini-series kaysa sa isang mahabang teleserye,” she explained.
Panganiban, whose acting career traces back to 1992, announced her decision to retire from teleseryes after she wrapped filming “Walang Hanggang Paalam,” and weeks before its run concluded.
Panganiban explained why, apart from the emotional baggage of carrying a teleserye portrayal, she is firm about no longer taking on the format for the remainder of her showbiz career.
“Thirty years ako sa industry. Since six years old ako, na sa harapan na ako ng camera. Ngayon, hindi ko sinasabing okay ‘yung pandemic, pero hinanapan ko ng magandang kinalabasan, ng outcome, ‘yung nangyari. Naging in touch ako sa sarili ko, and mas naging simple ‘yung mga choices ko sa buhay. And mas naging masaya ako,” she said.
Among Panganiban’s life decisions during the pandemic is residing in Olongapo City, with her current boyfriend, businessman Gregg Homan.
“Ang dami ko palang hindi napansin,” Panganiban said. “Ilang beses akong laging silaw sa industriya, dahil iyon lang ‘yung mundong ginagawalan ko. Noong tuminggil ‘yung mundo dahil nga sa pandemic, nakalimutan mong artista ka, nakalimutan mo ‘yung trabaho mo, naging tao ako.”
“And iyon ‘yung utang ko sa sarili ko, eh. Kailan ko pa ito babayaran? Kailan ko pa ibi-build ‘yung life na gusto ko? Ang dami mo nang teleseryeng ginawa, iba’t ibang buhay na ‘yung binuild mo at binigyan mo ng kulay. Pero ‘yung sarili mo hindi mo pala nabibigyan ng atensyon.”

It’s all about hope
‘Hope that even if today you wake up amid the total destruction of a typhoon, the fact that you and your family are all alive and well means that there will be a tomorrow and a day after tomorrow and a day after the day after that.’
IN a matter of hours millions of children across the Philippines will be eagerly watching the clock, waiting for the hour hand to mark midnight which would signal the opening of gifts and the celebration of a feast – no matter how modest.
It will be a heartwarming moment for millions of Filipino families, the stroke of midnight.
But thousands will be unable to join the celebration because of Typhoon Odette, the wet blanket over this year’s celebrations. To them, we extend our prayers, and the modest help we are able to give through the many organizations offering support in cash or in kind. It will be poor consolation, but the experience of the Yolanda victims should be proof enough that sooner, if not later, the scars of Odette will be all that she will be remembered by.
While the pain of loss will remain, we will pick up from where we have fallen and march on.
As wags love to say, for as long as there is life, there is hope. And for as long as there is hope, darkness and gloom soon give way to light.
As a lapsed Catholic I have many times over (maybe too many times over hehe) quipped that we are marking on December 25th a Christian celebration of the birth of a Jew on a day that was special to pagans who believed in the Sun-God. It is well-established by science, I think, that the historical Jesus could not have been born in December: but the biblical Jesus was given this birth date to make it easier for pagans to switch allegiance from their old religious traditions to the Christian one.
What is the use of a religion anyway if it fails to take root on the consciousness of a people? Even if, when necessary, some twists and turns have to be incorporated into the myths that comprise the foundations of that religion.
It must be age, but as the years have gone by and Christmas carols no longer send shivers down my spine (the way going to piss does!) what I have learned to accept are not the myths that are perpetrated from generation to generation to keep the religion alive, but the value these myths bring to the believers, lapsed or otherwise.
That value is hope. Hope that even if today you wake up amid the total destruction of a typhoon, the fact that you and your family are all alive and well means that there will be a tomorrow and a day after tomorrow and a day after the day after that. Hope that even if a loved one is not well, only two things can happen – his lot will improve because it is the will of God, or he will find his rest because that too is the will of God. Hope that if this year was a challenging one, the next will be a better one, and if this year was a good one then next year will be a great one! Hope that if you did wrong this year, you have next year to make up for it. Hope that with hard work the dreams of today will be the reality of tomorrow.
There are so many imponderables in life and we can go crazy trying to figure them all out.
And all the more when what we are trying to comprehend is why we had to suffer a defeat or hardship, some loss or some tragedy. That’s where religion and faith and celebrations of Christmas Eve come in. That’s where the hope that they represent become most relevant and most valuable.
And so even a lapsed Catholic like me would still like to wish everyone a blessed Christmas: may your lives continue to be filled with hope about tomorrow being a new, and better, and brighter day.
For yourself and your loved ones.
Stay safe everyone as you celebrate the season.
