ANGELU DE LEON- BOBBY ANDREWS: LOVE TEAM OF THE 90s
Angelu de Leon started acting in 1992 at the age of 12 when she was discovered by Johnny Manahan for a kiddie gag show Ang TV aired over ABS-CBN. She shared screen time with Claudine Barretto, Jolina Magdangal, and Rica Peralejo. After about a year in Ang TV, she signed up with Viva Films and transferred to GMA Network to do a sitcom called Ober Da Bakod with Janno Gibbs and Anjo Yllana.
Bobby Andrews, on the other hand, started as a commercial model. In 1995, De Leon and Andrews were given their biggest break when they were included in the popular teen-oriented television show T.G.I.S. and its sequel Growing Up over GMA, together with Onemig Bondoc, Ciara Sotto, Raven Villanueva, Michael Flores, Rica Peralejo, and Red Sternberg. Their partnership became one of the hottest onscreen love teams of their generation that time. Their TV shows gained high ratings and their movies were certified blockbuster hits. Among the noted Angelu-Bobby team-up movies were Takot Ka Ba Sa Dilim, TGIS The Movie, Laging Naroon Ka, Wala Na Bang Pag-ibig and Ikaw Na Sana, based from their highly successful TV series.
However their popularity came to a complete halt when in 1998, Angelu admitted to the public that she is pregnant with action star Joko Diaz’s child.
