Angel Locsin may have stepped away from the spotlight, but she remains a loyal friend. Recently, she and her husband, Neil Arce, gave a meaningful gift to comedian and “It’s Showtime” host, Vice Ganda—a new dog.
A Thoughtful Gesture
In an October 9 YouTube vlog, Vice Ganda shared that his beloved six-year-old dog, Chip In, passed away in August, leaving him devastated. To help ease his grief, Angel and Neil Arce gifted him a chai poodle.
“I have a new dog, a chai poodle. Neil and Angel Locsin gave it to me,” Vice Ganda said. “When Chip In passed away, I was really sad.”
This wasn’t the first time Angel gave Vice Ganda a dog. In the vlog, Vice Ganda recalled that Chip In had also been a gift from Locsin and friends for his birthday. Knowing how much Chip In meant to him, Locsin offered him one of her dog’s puppies to help ease his sadness.
“Chip In was a birthday gift from my friends, including Angel Locsin,” Vice Ganda reflected, showing the deep bond he shares with the actress.
While unboxing character toys during the vlog, Vice Ganda came across one that resembled his new dog. He mentioned that he might name the puppy Zimomo after one of the characters.
Although Angel has been away from showbiz and social media since 2022, her kind actions show she remains close to those she cares about. By gifting Vice Ganda a dog, she offered support and comfort, proving her thoughtful nature even from afar.
