Feisty actress says she’s piling on the pounds for her new role in a musical

No, Angelica Panganiban did not get a fat memo from her handlers in ABS CBN; but she has been receiving quite a bashing on social media for gaining weight.
The feisty actress, however, has not picked any fight (like she used to) and has learned to take things in her stride.
The added pounds, according to the actress, is necessary for her role in the musical Beauty in a Bottle, which tackles the many quirks of the beauty industry and the lengths women will go to in order to have the “perfect” body.
