Angel said in an interview that as a person who came from the family of swimmers, she loved nothing but swimming and if it wasn't for swimming, she wouldn't be where she is right now.
"Unang una kasi lumaki ako sa family na puno ng swimmers. Namulat ako sa ganon at kung walang swimming, di ako makkapag-aral.."
She also recalled that swimming is what helped her reach her dreams. She was a scholar when she was in elementary and high school, all thanks to swimming.
"Elementary, high school, scholar ako. Naiimagine ko kung gaano kahirap.. Triple ang hirap na pinagdadaanan niya para matuto, para mag-compete."
Before the interview ended, Angel gave out a piece of advice to Jhonalyn wherein she told her to always take care of herself:
"Ang totoong kalaban mo ay ang sarili mo. Every training, tratuhin mo bilang kompetisyon. alagaan mo yung sarili mo.."
People then admired Angel Locsin for what she said and they also thanked her for giving an all-out support for Jhonalyn Hernando!
