Jennylyn Mercado is ending her 'Dear Friend' stint—and starting a new show on prime time soon. Sa pictorial ng 'Ikaw Sana', kinausap namin si Jen on what her fans should expect sa dalawa niyang shows. Text by Jason John S. Lim; with Interviews by Erick P. Mataverde. Photos by Mio de Castro.
"Ako si Eliza, 'yung nakababatang kapatid ni Pauleen [Luna]," Jennylyn Mercado says in introduction of her character sa susunod na original series ng GMA-7, ang Ikaw Sana. "Ako sa probinsya, siya sa Maynila, tapos magkakaroon ng love triangle between sa aming magkapatid—and kay Mark [Herras]."
May mga bago bang aabangan ang fans ng Mark-Jen love team sa show na ito?
"Wala. Lagi naman akong mahirap e," biro ng tumatawang si Jennylyn. "Ganoon pa rin naman." Sabi pa nga ni Jen, kung sa Paano ba ang Mangarap? ay nagtitinda siya ng chicharon, tinapa naman ang ititinda niya ngayon.
Pero, in all seriousness, may bagong challenge na haharapin si Jen sa soap na ito—ang makipagsabayan sa comic timing ni Joey Paras. "Si Afi," ang pakilala ni Jen, who will play her best friend sa show.
"Ta-try kong sabayan siya sa ganyan—kaya nga ako artista," Jennylyn says.
She adds na hindi na daw siya nagpapaapekto sa pressure ngayon. "Hindi ko na iniisip," she explains sa amin. "Kumbaga, iniisip ko na lang na maportray ko ng maayos 'yung role ko, pag-aaralan 'yung character. Pero walang pressure."
Sa pagsisimula ng isa na namang soap na pagbibidahan nila ni Mark, Jennylyn is thankful na lagi pa ring nakaantabay ang kanilang mga fans:
"Siyempre thankful kami na hindi nila kami iniwan. Tsaka nandiyan lang sila para sa amin, kahit na anong pinagdaanan namin, andyan lang sila para sumuporta. Thank you, thank you so much. Sana hindi kayo magsawa."
"’Yun lang. Sana suportahan nila, subaybayan nila at mahalin nila itong soap namin. Sana matuwa sila," she ends.
At sa pagtatapos naman ng Dear Friend, Jennylyn invites viewers to tune in this Sunday.
She says, "'yung message nung buong story, sacrifice. Parang, sacrifice mo para sa mahal mo sa buhay, ganyan. ‘Yung understanding between mommy and daughter, tapos sa relationship nila kung paano sila magmahalan."
As for what will happen on Sunday, Jennylyn says you'll just have to watch and see. "Kasi medyo magkakaroon talaga ng twist e. Unpredictable kasi."
Ikaw Sana begins airing on September 21, before 24 Oras. While Dear Friend: Karibal airs its last episode this Sunday, September 13, after SOP.

in real life, jen is older, but this is just a portrayal, it doesnt mean na maski sa kwentong pangdrama eh dapat sundin ang age.. i am an avid fan of jen, at susuportahan ko sya no matter what happens to her. Love you Jen, keep being strong. Blessing ni Lord lahat ng projects na dumadating sau bcoz you're worth it! You are perfect for the project!
