The news of her passing was first shared to the public by her fellow Miss Tres member Mariko Ledesma, through her Facebook page on Sunday, Aug. 18.
“Rest ka na, Angel,” Ledesma said, adding folded hands emoji.
The group also paid tribute to Sangalang through its Facebook page on Monday, Aug. 19.
“Thoughts and prayers are with your family Angel Misstres. May your soul rest in peace. A life lived to the fullest but sadly taken too suddenly,” they wrote.
No cause of death was immediately disclosed to the public.
Sangalang, born Conrado Sangalang, rose to fame as one third of Miss Tres who joined the reality talent competition “Pilipinas Got Talent” in 2013. The group caught the public’s attention with their performances of “Sexbomb,” “Sway” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” among others.
