Angelica Panganiban once again showed her trademark honesty as she addressed rumors branding her as a “lasenggera,” a label that she said caused her deep pain during one of the most difficult periods of her life.

Angelica shared that she has heard the rumor many times, admitting that it even became a point of frustration within her own family. “Alam mo, may tsismis sa akin na lasenggera ako. Parang manginginom, ‘yong ganoon. Naku, pinagngingitngitan ‘yan ng nanay ko,” she said, recalling how persistent the issue had become over the years. While she has learned to brush off many negative remarks as a public figure, this particular accusation struck a nerve.
The actress explained that the comments became more painful when she fell ill. Angelica was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hip, a serious condition involving poor blood supply to the bone. During that time, some netizens cruelly speculated that her illness was the result of excessive drinking. “Alam mo, hurt na hurt ako nu’n noong nagco-comment ‘yong mga tao na ‘lasinggera kasi ‘yan e, kaya siya nagkaganyan.’ Na parang guys, nabuntis ako,” she stressed, emphasizing how unfair and ignorant the assumptions were.

Angelica clarified that while alcohol intake can be one of the causes of avascular necrosis, it was not the reason for her condition. She explained that her hip already had poor blood flow, which led to the illness. Seeing harsh comments online while she was already struggling physically and emotionally became overwhelming for her. “Grabe rin minsan ‘yong mga magko-comment na lang e ‘no, ‘yong may sakit ka na nga tapos nasabihan ka pang lasinggera ka, pariwara ‘yong buhay ko noon. Kayo naman,” she added.
Despite the hurt, Angelica still managed to respond with humor and strength. She had a pointed yet amusing comeback for those who continue to speculate about her drinking habits. “Nakainuman ko na ba kayo para sabihin n’yo sa ‘king grabe ako uminom? Grabe naman kayo. ‘Di ba puwedeng tumambay lang din ako?” she said, reminding people not to jump to conclusions based on rumors alone.
