Jennylyn Mercado returns to 'Dear Friend' this Sunday, portraying a woman who she can relate to in ways that people won't expect. Text and Photos by Jason John S. Lim.
Ang title ng bagong story na isasabuhay through Dear Friend is 'Karibal'—pero hindi dito nakarerelate si Jennylyn Mercado.
"'Yung character ko dito sa 'Karibal' [is] medyo different from the past roles I had, kasi it's centered more on the relationship of a mother and her daughter," kuwento ni Jennylyn sa amin.
The story of 'Karibal,' we learn, revolves around a mother who catches the attention—and affection—of her daughter's true love.
Jennylyn tells us, "Maraming lessons na mapupulot dito, especially when it comes to your relationship with your family—your parents." Dagdag pa niya, "Now that I'm a mom na, I can relate na [to] how parents feel for their children." One more reason kung bakit very different, at very special, ang role na ito for Jen.
And making it more special for her is the fact that she's reuniting with two members of her La Vendetta family: Jean Garcia and Wendell Ramos!
"Masaya po ang taping namin," Jennylyn shares with us. "Maraming kuwentuhan, lalo na po kami nila Miss Jean, kasi it's been a while since our last show [together]."
Isa pang makakasama niya ulit sa bagong story ng Dear Friend ay si Hero Angeles na last niyang nakasama nung first week ng Paano ba ang Mangarap?. She adds, "with Hero naman, nagkasama kami [before] pero saglit lang kasi namatay agad ['yung] character niya. So I'm happy to be working with him again."
At dahil nga kilala na ni Jen ang mga kasama niya sa 'Karibal,' she's happy to report din na smooth ang flow ng taping nila, saying, "Kasi medyo at ease na, at comfortable na akong katrabaho sila."
For now, Jennylyn is keeping her focus on one project at a time—kaya ise-sentro daw muna niya ang attention niya sa Dear Friend presents Karibal for the time being. Of course, regular pa rin naman siya sa SOP and pasulpot-sulpot pa rin siya sa Bubble Gang.
Pero, "may naririnig din po akong ibang shows. Pero mahirap po kasi magsalita hangga't wala pa pong final offer.
"Bahala na po ang GMA kung ano po sa tingin nila ang best para sa career ko," she finishes.
Sa ngayon, ibinubuhos niya muna ang extra time niya sa impending release ng coffee table book niya this month (August), as well as sa nalalapit na first birthday ni Alex Jazz.
Don't miss the premiere of 'Karibal' on Dear Friend this Sunday, pagkatapos ng SOP. And catch Jennylyn's I Am Woman Sunday Night on SNBO, pagkatapos ng Ful Haus.
