MANILA, Philippines – Angel Locsin has admitted that her father got affected by allegation that she is an alcoholic.

During her live interview on “The Buzz” Sunday, the actress cried as she confessed that she and her father had a misunderstanding after he initially believed the rumor that she has a drinking problem.

“Actually kami ngayon ni daddy medyo meron kaming hindi pagkakaunawaan kasi naniniwala siya sa isyu na alcoholic [ako],” she said.

The 25-year-old star did not deny that she and her friends went to a bar and had a couple of drinks, but these were part of her preparations for her upcoming movie with Aga Muhlach. In the film, she is taking on a role of a prostitute.

“Kailangan ko ring ma-experience talaga. Sa group ko, sa friends ko, sa career ko rin kasi may mga bagay na hindi mo naman basta pwedeng iimbento ang emosyon, ‘di ba?” she said.

Locsin also brushed off reports that she packed her bags and left their home. “Bahay ko ‘yon. Paano ka maglalayas sa sarili mong bahay? May mga detalyeng lumalabas na tama naman kaya lang mali lang ‘yong mga rason na nakalagay.”

She also felt offended that some people were even alleging that she is becoming unprofessional. “May mga trabaho daw ako na hindi nasisipot. Wala pa naman akong ginagawa. Ano ang hindi ko masisipot na trabaho?”

At first, she said she felt that there was no need to address the issues because she knows herself. After her rift with her dad, however, she said she finally decided to set the record straight.

“Okay naman kami kasi tatay ko naman siya, anak pa rin niya ako. Kaya lang ayoko lang kasi na ilang taon kong tinrabaho na makuha ko ang trust ng daddy ko, tapos mababahiran ‘yon ng duda dahil sa isang isyu na hindi mo alam kung saan nagmula,” she said.

Although intrigues are part of her job as an actress, she said as a human being she still gets affected by these rumors.
