Angelica bids John Lloyd goodbye during killer quake

Angelica Panganiban

Almost a week after experiencing first-hand the magnitude 7.2 quake that hit Bohol, Angelica Panganiban still has a clear picture of her near-death episode.

“Talagang tinatapon kami sa loob ng bus,” Angelica narrated in an interview with “Buzz Ng Bayan” over the weekend.

She continued, “Pagbaba namin, pa-recover pa lang kami, tapos biglang may lalaking tumatakbo sa likod namin galing ng beach tapos sabi niya nawala ’yung tubig.”

Angelica and the “Banana Split” cast and crew were in the province for a scheduled out-of-town taping on Tuesday, Oct. 15, the day the earthquake struck.

The comedy gag show was taping for an episode that would have been part of their fifth anniversary celebration this month.

The 26-year-old actress recalled being so scared, thinking she might die, that she immediately got in touch with her mom and her boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz. She supposedly not only informed them of what was happening but also said her frantic goodbyes.

“Nung nagkakatakbuhan na, tumawag ako kay Lloydie, tapos parang nagpapaalam na ako, sabi ko ‘Mamamatay na kami, mamamatay na ako. Lumilindol dito mamamatay na kami,’” Angelica said.

“Akala mo talaga katapusan mo na. Nagpapasalamat lang ako na sa pinagdaanan namin, kumpleto kaming nakauwi,” she said in retrospect.

The “Banana Split” crew temporarily stayed in an open area in front of the Tagbilaran City Hall. They were later picked up by a chopper that brought them to city proper before flying back to Manila.

After the team reportedly underwent stress briefing, they finally resumed taping last Thursday.
