After building her career through drama and romance, Angel is now eager to reveal a bolder, more daring side of herself.
“Nakagawa na ako ng ilang dramas, romance pero sabi ko, I want to try something new, something daring so ito, pinasok ko ang VMX.”
As for sexy scenes, Angel says she’s ready to fully commit to the demands of the role.
“Yes, lahat po kaya kong gawin kahit frontal nudity,” she declared.
“Bagong Tukso 2.0” is a sizzling 70-minute special that offers viewers an intimate introduction to Akira and Angel, allowing fans to discover the personalities behind the beauty.

Blending glamour, confidence, and behind-the-scenes moments, the special gives viewers a closer look at the women poised to become VMX’s next head-turners.
Each segment culminates in a signature VMX-style finale that celebrates every star’s confidence, sensuality, and undeniable screen presence, making “Bagong Tukso 2.0” a must-watch for fans eager to meet the platform’s newest muses.

Joining the two leads are VMX newcomers Dimple Rubia and Arlyn Arcenal as tourists who find themselves swept into the friends’ provocative weekend adventure.
May (Astrid) and Jena (Allison) escape to a luxurious beach villa in search of fun, freedom, and unforgettable experiences. To make the trip even more exciting, they create “DTF,” short for Dare Two Friends, a game that challenges each of them to seduce two strangers. What begins as flirtation under the sun soon unravels into something far more dangerous as hidden truths surface and desire gives way to betrayal.
“Lunok” premieres exclusively on VMX beginning July 17.
