Everyone knows she is the daughter of veteran actress Jean Garcia. She
has the same pretty face, the same beguiling smile, even the same
expressions. But many are still wondering what the real Jennica Garcia is
like. She shares with iGMA some of her thoughts and opinions.
On Acting
How different is your role as Janet in Pasan Ko ang
Daigdig? from Karen in Impostora
Janet is an additional character.Janet is a rich girl, tapos Karen is poor.
Actually I'm having a hard time. Nasanay ako sa role ni Karen na mahirap,
boyish, kasi dito, she (Janet) is sort of kikay na mayaman na sosyal pero
good naman in nature, may pagka-materialistic din.
How did you prepare for such a different role then?
We have an acting coach, Miss Ann Villegas. Talagang nilapitan ko na siya
'coz I really need help, kasi opposite talaga.
Does your mom give you tips?
Basta sabi lang sa akin ng mommy ko, "Aalamin mo 'yung character mo. Tapos
set aside mo 'yung real Jennica." So that's what I'm doing right now.
Have you seen the original fim, "Pasan Ko ang Daigdig?"
No, actually Mart and I are planning to watch the original film, kaso hindi
namin alam kung saan kami pwedeng kumuha ng copy.
On Mart Escudero
So, things with Mart are going well?
Habang tumatagal! Hindi maiwasan (na) before medyo ilang ako sa kanya,
nag-iingat ako sa actions ko, sa pananalita ko. Siyempre may pagka-conscious
'di ba? Babae eh, we can't help it. Pero ngayon, sobrang wala na, sobrang
happy ako kay Mart.
What is he like as a love team partner?
As a love team, he is very supportive. I have this tendency to be really
nervous. Tapos kapag sobrang kaba ko na, sobrang windang na ako sa mga
pangyayari, he is always there to calm me down. As a friend, Mart is ok.
You don't mind that the audience knows you as part of a love
team?
I trust GMA eh. Sila naman 'yung nakaka-alam kung saan makakabuti, where I
am and I'm really happy kasi after ng Impostora meron na naman kaming
bagong soap.
On the real Jenica
Who or what inspires you to work?
Iyong family ko. 'Yung mom ko is a single mom. Now that I have a job, now
that I'm working, hindi na puro paglalaro lang, pa-easy-easy lang.Now I have
responsibilities. I have a brother to take good care of, pag-aaralin ko pa.
What is the most important lesson you have learned in showbiz, so
far?
Ummm, na feel ko na 'yung pressure. Ngayon pa na natapos na 'yung
Impostora, nakikita ko na 'yung importance ng bawat eksena na hindi
siya 'yung papetik-petiks lang. Kasi pag sinabi, magaling kang umarte,
nagfe-fade siya, so kailangan consistent.
Based on her answers, this gal is certainly not just fluff. She is turning
out to be a substantial, confident young lady ready to take on the
challenges of reel and real life. -- Text by KC M. Abalos. Photos by
