"Noong nasa ASAP Fanatic pa lang kami, crush ko na ‘yan. Crush ko na ‘yang si Angelica [Panganiban]. Never kong dinenay ‘yon," revealed Luis Manzano at the Rounin press con held at Club O, Quezon City.

He jokingly added, "Alam ko na alam niya [na crush ko siya]. Kung hindi, manhid siya kasi sinabi ko rin sa kaniya, e!"

The two will be starring in ABS-CBN newest tele-epiko, Rounin.

Luis said, "First time namin magkatrabaho, may kissing scene pa kami, and may love scene kami. Kami ni Angel, 'buti we started out in the right foot na naging magkaibigan kami before we started Rounin. Nandoon na ‘yong lambing namin. Nandoon na ‘yong alaga namin sa isa't isa, and she's a terrific leading lady. And alam naman natin na matagal na talaga si Angel sa industriya, she's a very very good actress."

The young actor also admitted that he and Angelica—or Angel—see each other outside work.

"Kapitbahay ko si Angel. May condo siya [in Eastwood, Libis], e, taga-Green Meadows ako. Automatic ‘yon na 'pag wala akong ginagawa, text ko minsan, ‘O tara! Coffee tayo, movie tayo...' So I wouldn't be surprised if may makakita sa amin na, ‘Oy, sila na!' E, kami pa naman sobrang kulit namin. Very visual kami. Animated kami," disclosed Luis.

He also admitted that he has a copy of Angel's FHM cover issue.

He said candidly, "Ako hindi ako magsisinungaling. Ako, I always look at sa physical. 'Eto totoo, alam namin nating tumitingin [sa chest] or sa puwet. Ako, ever since sa mukha talaga."

When asked what he thought of Angel's sexy body, particularly Angel's biggest asset, Luis blushed.
