“I am overwhelmed,” said Angel. “It was such a great honor for our country. I am proud and happy because I was given different kinds of projects wherein I can show my skills.”

Lobo was chosen from over 800 entries representing 29 countries. Twenty-three were chosen as category winners and “Lobo” was one of the selected few.

Angel also applauded her directors and co-stars who were behind the success of “Lobo,” starting from her leading man Piolo Pascual, Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina, FM Reyes, and Jerry Lopez Sineneng.

“Lobo” depicted the love story of Lyka (Angel), a woman who belongs to a clan of white wolves, and Noah, who portrayed an army officer who falls in love with Lyka.
