Angeli Bayani
Independent film actress Angeli Bayani is appealing for better police visibility in Manila after being involved in a hold-up incident along Harrison St. and Vito Cruz recently.
“Sana mas dumami ’yung mga tao dun na pwedeng rumonda,” she told “24 Oras.”
The star of the Singaporean film “Ilo Ilo” related that a man brazenly accosted her in a jeepney, threatening her with an ice pick while he tried to grab her bag.
Thankfully, Angeli was able to grab her attacker’s weapon.
Although unharmed, she wasn’t able to file a blotter report of the incident citing shock and distress.
Angeli, also a theater actress, played a Filipina nanny in the Anthony Chen-helmed “Ilo Ilo,” which won the prestigious Camera d’Or award at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival where it also received a 15-minute standing ovation during its Director’s Fortnight section premiere.
Oscar-winning director Ang Lee described Angeli as a “national treasure.”
