Angel Locsin Latest News: "The Legal Wife" character played by Angel Locsin broke down in tears over the awareness that her husband is cheating on her with her best friend. "The Legal Wife" easily zoomed up as the most talked about topic on Twitter as the episode was aired. At one point, the episode's official hashtag, "#TLWTheTrueLies," was the No. 1 trend both in the Philippines and worldwide at the same time, ABS CBN News reported.

In an episode of the primetime series, Locsin, under the titular character Monica, comes across a necklace on the beach, which she recognizes as the item bought by Adrian (Jericho Rosales) but never turned up as a gift for either her, his mother, or sister.

The doubtful Monica comes to the conclusion that Adrian's mistress must be at the same resort where they are staging a bikini competition for a client. In an attempt to identify the owner of the necklace, Monica asks all those present at the pageant rehearsals if any of them lost the ornament, only to find out that Nicole (Maja Salvador) owns it and claims it.

As quoted from the report, "Faced with the realization that Nicole may be her husband's mistress, Monica remembers details of her best friend's past interactions with Adrian, which on hindsight appear to have clued her in on the affair.

Monica calls a client about a gift it recently sent to Nicole, in the hope of hearing that it was the company that sent her the necklace. She breaks down in tears when she gets confirmation that the client sent Nicole an electronic tablet, and not the necklace."

Later in the episode, Monica caught the "illegal" couple holding hands.

The Legal Wife, which is under the direction of Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao, airs weeknights after "Ikaw Lamang" during ABS-CBN's primetime block.

It also stars Christopher de Leon, Rio Locsin, Mark Gil, Maria Isabel Lopez, JC de Vera, Joem Bascon, Ahron Villena, Janus del Prado, and Matet de Leon.
