Kapamilya artist Angeline Quinto was in good spirits when she performed at Iglesia Ni Cristo's (INC) Evangelical Mission at the Philippine Arena, Bocaue, Bulacan, last May 10, 2019.
The event was in celebration of the late Brother Felix Y. Manalo's 133rd birth anniversary.
During her segment, Angeline sang, interacted with brethren, visitors, and guests of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
The singer-actress-performer was her jovial self when she ribbed the crowd: "Gusto niyo raw po akong umakyat diyan... kayo na lang daw yung bumaba."
She added, "Maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat, mga Kapatid," and, addressing the choir behind her, she said, "Yung mga nasa likod."
She continued, "Sino ho rito ang ngayon lang ako nakita nang personal?"
The audience hooted and cheered, as many of them only saw Angeline in person for the first time then.
"Marami din po pala. So, ngayon po ba ay naniniwala kayong sexy ako sa personal?
"Totoo. Alam nyo, 'yan po ang gustung-gusto sa lahat ng mga INC, napaka-honest ninyo.
"Kaya sana po sa lahat ng mga kapatid niyo, kamag-anak niyo na wala dito ngayon, pag-uwi niyo ng bahay, sana mai-share niyo 'yan... 'Ang ganda pala ni Angeline sa personal!'
"Kasi 'yan po ang balitang gustung-gusto ko na kumakalat.
"Ang ganda kaya pakinggan, di ba?
"Pag-uwi mo ng bahay niyo, pagod ka, siyempre alagaan ka ng mama mo, ng tatay mo, ng kapatid mo... 'Ang ganda pala ni Angeline sa personal, 'no?'"
DOES ANGELINE STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR ERIK?
Dressed in a white long-sleeved top with ruffled cuffs and brown slacks, Angeline was a vision with her long, straight hair down to her waist.
She told the thousands of people inside Philippine Arena, "So, maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo. Maraming-maraming salamat po.
"Sana next time po ulit na maimbitahan po ako sa ganitong kalaking selebrasyon para sa lahat ng INC, sana next time makasama ko naman si Erik," referring to her rumored ex-boyfriend and fellow Kapamilya artist Erik Santos.
"Di ba, parang mas masaya yun, 'no?"
Segueing into her first song, she said, "Yung mga nasa taas, maraming-maraming salamat po.
"Ito namang susunod kong awitin ay isa sa mga kantang pinasikat ng nag-iisang Asia's Nightingale."
Dubbed the Queen of Teleserye Theme Songs, Angeline then proceeded to sing her version of Lani Misalucha's "Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin," to the obvious delight of the entire arena.
The song was used in the 2013 ABS-CBN serye of the same name, but it was sung by Jed Madela.
For her second song, Angeline turned personal and once again talked to the engaged crowd.
She belted Bituin Escalante's "Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin."
She then changed it original lyrics of, "Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin wag lang ang aking mahal," to "Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin, wag lang si Erik Santos."
