Showbiz News: Bahay Ni Angelika dela Cruz, Pinasabog!

An unidentified explosive went off at the residence of actress-singer Angelika dela Cruz last December 18, 2010, at Langos, Malabon City. Reports state that the incident happened before dawn.

Angelika was shocked about the alleged "bombing."

In a taped interview with Showbiz Central aired yesterday, December 19, Angelika described the condition of their house after the incident.


"Yung tiles, siyempre nag-crack na. Tapos yung gate, actually inaayos na 'yan. Nasira siya, naging itim."

The Kapuso actress also said that her brother, Eric, and his friends were around the vicinity when the explosion occurred.

"Yung brother ko, si Eric, he was outside with his friends kung saan talaga sumabog yung explosive," she said.

Meanwhile, one of Eric's friends stated, "Bale, nandito si Eric sa kantong ito. Hindi na namin hinintuan itong sasakyan na ito. Sa likod, pinarada na namin ang sasakyan.

"After five minutes, maya-maya may sumabog na. Bale iniisip ko lang na paputok lang. Sabi nila, pillbox. Yun pala, granada pala yon."

Angelika added, "Buti na lang na lumabas na pala siya [Eric] for a time. Eksakto naman, dun sa oras na 'yon, dun sumabog.

"Hindi ko natanong kung naglalakad lang o naka-motor. Di ba, usually, hinahagis yung paputok? Yung explosive...hindi daw."

Angelika's father, Ernesto dela Cruz, commented, "Kinausap yung mga pulis. May nakuha silang shrapnel. Di matukoy kung anong klaseng pampasabog."

Angelika added, "Ini-investigate pa nga nila. Kasi may orangy liquid substance. Hindi nila masabi kung ano. Kung grenade o ibang klaseng explosive."

There have been speculations that the alleged bombing was politically motivated since Angelika's father holds the position of Barangay Chairman in Langos, Bulacan.

Since the time he assumed office, it is said that he has been receiving death threats.  

Angelika added, "May mga nagte-text pa sa dad ko, mga kung anu-ano. Sa akin naman, wala.

"Wala ka ring magagawa sa mga people that are heartless, nagiging masaya sila nakakagulo sila ng tao. Siguro may ganoon."

At present, investigation on this incident is still ongoing.
