Phil and Angel officially a couple

And the love story begins, even though everybody seems to have expected it.  Phil Younghusband has finally confirmed that he and actress Angel Locsin are "officially boyfriend and girlfriend." The popular Azkals striker made the announcement during a recent press conference revealing that they became a couple only on May 27 this year. "We're happy. We fall more and more in love with each other. Love and happiness are really the words to describe our relationship,” he said.

Angel also corroborated the matter to PEP saying via text message, "Yupyup! It's official na nga :) hehe :) may 27 :)"

Still, the 24-year old Phil clarified that he is not yet ready to become husband to the talented actress. "It's too early to plan that. I've always said I wanted to have a future with Angel but no plans of weddings yet." He added, "We're in love but we have to work first and things like that."

It was last year, Valentine's Day, that Phil first expressed intention to pursue Angel and this he did quite publicly, asking the actress for a date via Twitter. The seemingly brash approach, which created much buzz at the time, worked somehow, with the two eventually meeting a couple of times. None too soon, they became constant companions, traveling together to such faraway places as Hong Kong and Paris.
