'Pepito Manaloto' star Angel Satsumi's beautiful transformation
The Manaloto household won't be complete without Pepito (Michael V.) and Elsa's (Manilyn Reynes) bubbly and cute bunso, Clarissa, played by Angel Satsumi.
Watching Angel on `Pepito Manaloto' throughout the years feels like we've seen her transform from being this cute child actress to a tween celebrity.
Before showing off her comedy skills in the flagship comedy show of GMA-7, Angel was a contestant in the 'I-Shine Talent Camp.' She also appeared in the fantasy adventure series 'Binoy Henyo' with then fellow child actor David Remo.
But with the pandemic hitting the Philippines in March 2020, Angel had to take a break from her showbiz career.
In an interview with GMANetwork.com, the Kapuso actress shared that they went back to Japan for sometime and waited there until the restrictions eased in the country.
The Pepito Manaloto actress explained, “Start ng COVID-19 nandito pa rin ako and then bandang October 2020 umuwi muna kami ng Japan, kasi naisip po namin parang doon po muna kami, kasi kung susundan po 'yung DOLE kasi, hindi pa ako makakapag-taping until 2021 pa hanggang mag-16 (years old) ako.”
“So umuwi po muna kami doon para maghintay po, then doon na rin po kami nakapag-vaccine. And then habang nandoon po ako kami, nag-enjoy lang po, nakapag-aral din po ako doon, hanggang naka-uwi po kami noong April.”
