Many years later, Angel Locsin receives apology from ex-highschool bully

“Hello! Mga bata pa tayo nun hehe 🙂 Your message made me smile. Salamat. Pasensya na rin kung may nagawa ako para hindi mo ako magustuhan. Sabi nga nila, it takes two to tango. So ayun 🙂 pasensya na. Ingat lagi!” Angel replied. (File photo: therealangellocsin/Instagram)

So many years have passed and so many things have changed and happened but this former high school bully still remembers what he had done before to one of today’s sought-after actresses in the country — and he is sorry for it.

Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin on Friday, March 29, shared on her Instagram story a message she unexpectedly received from her schoolmate who used to bully her back when they were still in high school.

Through a direct message on Instagram, Angel’s former schoolmate, whose identity was not revealed, told her, “Hi Angel, you probably don’t remember me but I used to not like you in USTHS (University of Sto. Tomas High School). I remember I bullied you before (when there was such thing as ‘kabogan‘).”

He went on saying, “I want to say sorry. I am also not a fan, however, I want you to know (while I am watching your movies in Netflix) that I am extremely amazed by how good an actress you are! Congratulation on how you have become a very good actress! I can probably say that perhaps, I am a fan now! Again, I apologized for the behavior I did to you.”

Not having hard feelings towards her schoolmate anymore, Angel gladly accepted his apology and even said sorry to him for whatever she had done that caused him to dislike her.

“Hello! Mga bata pa tayo nun (We are still young at that time) hehe 🙂 Your message made me smile. Salamat. Pasensya na rin kung may nagawa ako para hindi mo ako magustuhan. Sabi nga nila, it takes two to tango. So ayun 🙂 pasensya na. Ingat lagi (Thank you. I’m also sorry if I have done something that made you hate me. As they say, it takes two to tango. So there. I’m sorry. Take care always)!“ Angel replied.

As the actress posted their exchange in her story, Angel also encouraged everyone out there who might have done something wrong to someone to do the same thing her schoolmate did.

“At some point in our lives, we’ve all been bullied, and we’ve all been bullies. But as a wise Beatle once wrote, ‘Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend,'” she wrote, continuing, “So, if you have the chance to apologize to someone you’ve hurt, take it. And if someone asks for your forgiveness, give it to them. In either case, if your efforts are sincere, you’ll never regret it.”

Tagged as the country’s “Action-Drama Queen,” Angel is currently starring in a Kapamilya television series “The General’s Daughter,” playing the role of 2nd Lieutenant Rhian Bonifacio.
