Angelina Cruz, the daughter of screen veterans Cesar Montano and Sunshine Cruz, looked like royalty as she got dolled up as a participant in a provincial Santacruzan.
On Instagram, Sunshine and Angelina shared photos of the event in Orion and Orani in Bataan. She matched her white gown with a silver crown on the first day, then opted for dark elegance in a red and white dress on the second day.
Angelina, the eldest of Sunshine and Cesar’s three daughters, recently followed in the footsteps of her parents. The showbiz neophyte opted to take her mother’s surname for her stage name, instead of going by her birth name, Angelina Isabele Montano.
The decision, Sunshine clarified in a 2017 interview, did not have anything to do with her bitter separation from Cesar. It stemmed from the fact that their showbiz kin — such as singers Geneva Cruz and Donna Cruz — are known musicians. Angelina, she pointed out, is foremost an aspiring singer.
In 2017, Angelina indeed made her music debut under Universal Records, with her latest single “Hanggang Kailan” released just in February. (ABS-CBN News)
