Angelica: Relationship with Derek stronger than ever



ANILA, Philippines – “Rubi” lead star Angelica Panganiban said her almost one-month vacation with boyfriend Derek Ramsay in South Africa strengthened their relationship despite the intrigues hounding them.

Panganiban and her hunk actor beau flew to South Africa to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Ramsay, who grew up in England, is a football addict.

Despite their relationship being stronger than ever, Panganiban maintained that marriage is not on the horizon.

She told the ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau during the RNG Roadshow in Belfast, Ireland that they will prioritize their showbiz careers and just enjoy each other’s company.

Other celebrities in Belfast were Dennis Padilla, Diether Ocampo and John Lloyd Cruz.

When asked if Ramsay is wary of her sexy role in “Rubi,” Panganiban laughed off the matter, saying that her boyfriend is happy and excited about her portrayal.

Love triangle?

Before the showbiz couple left for South Africa last month, a “word war” involving Panganiban and actress Gretchen Barretto broke out.

Barretto is Ramsay’s co-star in the primetime television program, “Magkaribal.”

The word war began after Barretto joked in a television interview that she wanted Ramsay’s solo pictures as presents once he returned from South Africa.

This reportedly irked Panganiban. In her Twitter account, she has posted 2 controversial tweets: “Totoo nga... Nakakaloka pala talaga. Oh well... Nakakaawa ka.. Mukhang 'di ka masaya.. Goodnight” and “Tarrrraaaayyy!!! Single ka teh? :)”

When asked for comment on Ramsay and Panganiban’s return to the Philippines, Barretto uttered one of the lines delivered by her “Magkaribal” character, fashion model and designer Victoria Valera.

“Out with the old, in with the new,” said the long-time partner of businessman Antonio “TonyBoy” Cojuangco. “Old na ‘yang chismis na ‘yan.”

Barretto and Ramsay earlier clarified that they are just castmates. – With a report from Danny Buenafe, ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau chief
