As part of the newest Kapamilya family drama The Greatest Love , Dimples Romana admitted her schedule has now become more busy which means less time to spend with one of her closest friends in showbiz , Angel Locsin .
The two actresses enjoyed bonding time during a two-day retreat at The Farm resort in Batangas last May . Dimples said people might be surprised to find out that they don ’ t usually talk about issues . “ Hindi kami nag-usap tungkol sa mga pinagdadaanan . Kasi in fact bawal sa amin pagusapan ang mga pinagdadaanan . Medyo ibang friendako eh . mas gusto ko yung kung kailangan na mag-move on , gagawin ko yung lahat kung kaya ko gawin yun para sa kanya . Unti unti lang , baby steps . Para naman hindi rin siya mabigla ,” she said .
Dimples said that she would always be there for the godmother of her son Alonzo . The talented actress admitted she is aware of Angel ’ s recent emotional interviews with the media whenever she is asked about her breakup with Luis Manzano . “ I know she ’ s going through something kasi ilang taon din yun di ba ? But they ’ re both my friends . I still have the same respect I have for Luis kapareho nung respetong meron ako sa kanya noon . Hindi naman yun nagbabago . Pero kay Angel
Dimples Romana on Angel Locsin siguro dahil kaibigan ko siya , mahal ko siya eh . Siyempreto the rescue ako eh . Pero gusto ko rin na maging okay na siya . Pero I think she ’ s getting there . Kasi magkasama naman kami madalas . Ngayon lang hindi masyado ,” she admitted .
The Greatest Love actress said she is happy that her friend is taking steps to truly moving on with her life both personally and professionally . “ I ’ m so proud of her because I think she ’ s going to start working again and her back is better . At saka she ’ s such a beautiful lady eh . Walang words na ma-express kung gaano siya kagandang tao at kabuting tao . When we did that retreat , they didn ’ t know that we were going to bring them to the cancer warriors . It was my brother ’ s advocacy tapos sabi ko , ‘ O may surpresa ako . Susurpresahin natin yung mga bata with your presence .’ We didn ’ t make them bring anything . Wala silang dinala but themselves . The kids were so happy and I know that was also
