Angelica Panganiban will surely shine in ABS-CBN’s next sure-hit primetime series, “Rubi”, as she’s now dubbed as television’s ‘Primetime Gem’.

Angelica has earned the right to star in one the biggest projects of ABS-CBN for the first quarter of 2010. With nearly 18 years of experience in the entertainment industry, she was able to polish her skills as an actress. Angelica went through the ladder of success without skipping a single step, thus, she has all the right to be called the ‘gem’ of her generation.

After being awarded as Villain of the Year (2008) in the 1st Supreme to the Extreme Awards of Philippine Star for her effective portrayal of the character Scarlet in ABS-CBN’s “Iisa Pa Lamang”, Angelica reaffirms the tag given to her as she gives life to the strong-willed role of Rubi- a woman driven by a dark ambition that will be hindered by no one and nothing in getting what she wants– to escape from poverty and to live the rich life.

When asked if she is pressured with the role and the project, Angelica admitted that more than the pressure, it’s the challenge that pushes her to do well in her new role. “Oo may pressure, pero higit pa sa pressure, yung challenge na magampanan ko yung role na mabuti ang mas nangingibabaw,” Angelica explained. She added, “Kung sasabihin nating excited, sobra-sobrang excited and ngayon lang siguro ako hindi kinabahan na alam mo ‘yon, may ilalabas kang project parang sa ‘yo nakapangalan yung show, sobrang excited and proud and happy yung nararamdaman ko talaga.”

ABS-CBN has acquired the rights from Televisa for the remake of the leading television series “Rubi”. This will be the first collaboration of the popular Mexican multimedia conglomerate and the largest Philippine network.

Witness how Angelica sizzles in her biggest break on primetime television, “Rubi”, starting February 15 on The Filipino Channel (TFC).
