Angelica Panganiban on the perils of showbiz

Turns out, pretending to die beautifully on camera can really take it out of you.

Apparently, acting isn’t all red carpets and free champagne.

Who knew?

Angelica Panganiban just dropped the truth bomb we didn’t ask for but secretly needed: Showbiz is emotionally exhausting, and sometimes, the bottle looks kinder than sleep.

On Alyssa Valdez’s Spotify podcast, Angelica defended her fellow actors, the ones we assume live in silk robes and cry only when eyeliner runs.

“Alam mo kung ano yung mahirap na hindi naiintindihan ng mga tao?” she said. “Akala nila yung mga artista, ‘Ah, wild iyan, pariwara iyan.’ Pero hindi nila alam ang pinagdadaanan namin every scene.”

And by "pinagdadaanan," she means emotional triathlon: One minute you’re mourning a death, the next you’re in a birthday scene, then — surprise — digging through childhood trauma before lunch.

“Uuwi ka ng bahay na ang daming nangyari sa iyo, mentally. So, hindi ka talaga makakatulog,” she said.

So what do you do after fake-crying your soul out on set? You cope.

“May ibang tao, ang takbuhan nila is alcohol or drugs,” Angelica admitted. “Parang gagaan ang loob mo, kahit paano, maitutulog mo.”

But the “coping” has a catch.

“Para siyang blackhole, pag pinasok mo, puwede ka niyang higupin,” she warned, describing both addiction and the entertainment industry.

She recalled her 2009 meltdown, crying between shoots.

“Iyak ako nang iyak. Sabi ko, hindi ko na kilala yung sarili ko.”

So yes, glamour has its price and it’s not just the bar tab.

Turns out, pretending to die beautifully on camera can really take it out of you.

How is it living in the Philippines as a non-Filipino person?

 It totally depends where you are and what you are doing (eg expat working in Manila v retirement in the provinces)

I live in a walled village on the outskirts of Manila and rarely see another white face however I also travel internationally a lot for work so I am a bit of an anomaly

The village is safe and comfortable although if I want Starbucks, TGI Friday, cinema, etc I have to leave my relative comfort and that's where it all goes downhill. Anything that involves going further into Metro Manila means I either go by myself on 2 wheels (bicycle or motorbike) which is fine or I encounter horrendous traffic. By way of example, getting to Ortigas by 2 wheels takes 40 minutes but by 4 wheels takes 2 hours or more. I refuse to go to Makati or BGC on 4 wheels it's just not worth it

However going in the opposite direction especially on a bicycle is great fun as I immediately get to the Sierra Madre. The mountains are clean and green, food is good and cheap and there's no traffic

We also have a place out in the boondocks with again no white people. It's nice to visit once in a while but unless you want to be a farmer there's nothing to do and terrible Internet

My advice to someone who wants to retire here would be to pick a location with enough foreigners and things to do but avoid Metro Manila like the plague

Alternatively, if you are here for work, then live and work in BGC and never leave the area

Basically if you want somewhere quiet with good English that is always warm and is cheap the Philippines provinces are a good option. However if you need modern conveniences and a more city lifestyle go somewhere else
