Joanna Marie Tan is happy to be part of First Time

JOANNA MARIE TAN caught the public's attention as the young Glaiza de Castro who's the villain to Joshua Dionisio and Barbie Forteza in "Stairway to Heaven". She's now glad to be included in the cast of "First Time" as a good friend of Barbie who defends her from the mean girls in school led by Bea Binene. No matter how busy she is with work, Joanna didn't neglect her studies and just graduated from high school at Lourdes College in Valenzuela. "I'll take up masscom or hotel and restaurant management in college."

How does she get along with her teen co-stars in "First Time"? "I'm close to everyone, even the boys, Joshua and Jake Vargas. Maganda ang bonding namin."

This week in "First Time", Joanna tries to console Barbie as Cyndi after Joshua as Lukas hurt her feelings. Things get worse when Bea as Natalie spreads some chismis about Cyndi being a flirt, so she goes home and stays on their rooftop feeling sad. Then she hears someone serenading her, it's Jake as Baste, her loyal friend. They agree to have an MU or mutual understanding. Does this mean she's now forgetting Lukas for good? Meantime, Michelle Madrigal as teacher Val resigns from their school after she was seen being kissed by Lucas.
