Bigger things are happening in singer Angeline Quinto’s young career: A major concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and an upcoming movie with award winning actor Coco Martin.
According to Angeline, her performance with international and platinum recording artist Brian McKnight over the weekend was her seventh performance at the Araneta. She also stood on the same stage in 2011 for ABS-CBN’s Christmas special and Ryan Cayabyab’s Isang Libo’t, Isang Awit.
To rephrase a saying, Angeline’s always the guest performer and never the star. But, that might all change this year because talks about her major concert at the Araneta Coliseum are getting louder and louder.
“Pinangarap ko na siya since napasok ako sa showbiz. Sabi nga po nila na once na nag-Araneta ka na bigatin ka na raw. Pero sa akin naman po kasi ayaw kong madaliin lahat ito,” shared Angeline.
If she had her way, she would like to have a birthday concert to make the career milestone more meaningful. Angeline is turning 24 years old on November 26.
In the meantime, she is simply thrilled at being able to perform at the Araneta, even to sing just a few songs.
“Sa totoo lang tuwing kumakanta ako sa Araneta, may halo pa ring kaba. Hindi po ito yung kaba na baka pumiyok pero yung parang nasa singing contest pa rin, ganun po. Siyempre naman po ang laki-laki ng Araneta Coliseum at maraming nanunuod,” she related.
She is also happily anxious on her forthcoming movie with Coco Martin, now with the working title You Light Up My Life, under the direction of Jerome Pobocan.
With no experience in acting, Angeline is eager to embrace the challenge of working with an awarded actor like Coco. She plays the role of a tour guide for Koreans in the film, who is always quarreling with her photographer as portrayed by Coco.
“Hindi po ako artista. Singer lang po ako. Yung una po sabi ko nga baka hindi ko kaya pero habang tumatagal po nag-e-enjoy ako sa shooting lalong lalo na po pag may hindi ako kayang gawin sa eksena. Tinutulungan naman po ako ni Coco at ni Direk,” said Angeline.
She also attributed what acting skills she now holds to workshops with Pen Medina and Malou de Guzman.
So, does the new showbiz darling have a kissing scene with Coco Martin?
“Meron pong kissing scene sa huli pero sana nga umpisa pa lang meron na para matuwa mga tao. Para kakaibang pelikula po. Dapat una, gitna at huli. Comedy po at love story ito,” replied Angeline.
What has she learned from her successes in showbiz?
“Basta may pangarap ka hindi hadlang kung ano man ang pinagdadaanan mo. Basta gawin mo lang para sa pangarap mo wala namang imposible sa Diyos,” she ended.
