Jackie Rice gives chance to JC de Vera

AFTER PLAYING supporting roles in "Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang" and "Kung Aagawin Mo ang Lahat sa Akin", Jackie Rice is now the leading lady of JC de Vera in "Panday Kids" that starts airing on Monday after "24 Oras". She even has a kissing scene with him. "First time to do that on cam," she says. "And I'm glad it's with JC kasi siya ang nagdala sa eksena and he took good care of me kasi alam niya di ako sanay sa ganung eksena."

JC says he's loveless at the moment. What if he'd court her? "Naku, may chance siya kasi I like him. Ang guwapo, ang ganda pa ng katawan puro muscle. Pati kulay niya, kayumanggi, type ko."

She sounds like she'll go crazy again like when she fell in love with Biboy Ramirez. "Ay, hindi na po ako mababaliw uli sa pag-ibig, lalo ngayong tuloy-tuloy na ang trabaho ko sa GMA and up to 2012 ang contract ko with them. Inspiration lang. Pero kahit walang boyfriend, mabubuhay ako at ayoko ng maging baliw uli. I've learned my lesson."

What can she say about predictions she might top the FHM poll on sexiest women and she'll depose Cristine Reyes? "Sana nga. Wala namang negative reaction sa FHM pictorial call. They all say class ang dating. Pero ayokong pag-awayin kami ni Cristine. Basta kung anong kaya niyang gawin, magagawa ko rin. Pero as of now, wholesome muna ko sa 'Panday Kids', mga bata ang manonood nito, e. I play an engkanto, si Sarah, na iibig kay JC as Aureus. May action scenes din ako rito sa paglaban namin sa mga kampon ni Lizardo played by Marvin Agustin. Hindi po ako magse-sexy poses dito."
