MANILA -- A surprised Angel Locsin was greeted with chants of "Darna" when she arrived at the KIA Theater in Cubao for the Manila auditions of "Pilipinas Got Talent."
Locsin is one of the new judges of the talent show along with former ABS-CBN president Freddie M. Garcia, Robin Padilla and Vice Ganda.
"Nakakaiyak. Siyempre pinaghirapan ko din naman 'yon sa ginawa ko. Nakakatuwa na tumatatak pa din 'yon sa mga tao. Hindi ko makakalimutan 'yung pagmamahal na ibinigay nila," Locsin said.
In an emotional interview with "Tonight With Boy Abunda" last year, Locsin announced that she will no longer play Darna in the upcoming movie from Star Cinema and director Erik Matti.
Judging 'PGT'
Meanwhile, Locsin explained that viewers her to be "mabait na may topak" in "Pilipinas Got Talent," which is returning for its fifth season later this month.
"Parang way back nagkaroon din kasi ako ng opportunity na magpakita ng talent sa mga nagbigay sa akin ng chance. So ngayon gusto ko sana ay suklian kung ano ang chance na ibinigay sa akin ng tao. Gusto kong mag-yes sa lahat pero hindi naman pwede. Kailangan nating maging honest at fair sa ibang contestants," Locsin said.
As a judge, Locsin said she will also be looking for acts with a good attitude.
"Hindi lang talent ang susi para maging sikat ka, para mahalin ka ng tao. Gusto ko din ay may good attitude at may magic," she said.
