Also in the cast are Rodjun Cruz as Dulce’s son in love with Juanita, Katya Santos as a kontrabida, Isay Alvarez as Juanita’s missing mom, new gay comedian Bekimon as Juanita’s best friend (played by Kuya Germs in the film), Lito Pimentel, Rey PJ Abellana, and child actor Aaron Junatas.
The difference of “Juanita Banana” from other TV series is that it’s a comedy and Bianca’s zany personality fits it perfectly. What can she say about the complain of some folks that her rise to stardom is so fast compared to other newcomers since she has a sibling working with ABS exec Deo Endrinal? “May nagsasabi ngang may mga nalampasan daw ako but wala akong napi-feel na ganun,” she says.
“I’m still a reigning Bb. Pilipinas when I first got an acting offer from ABS in ‘Dahil May Isang Ikaw’, but hindi natuloy. Yung kapatid ko has nothing to do with my getting into ABS. Nag-audition ako, first sa ‘Showtime’ then sa ‘Magkaribal’. I also auditioned for ‘Juanita Banana’. Pinag-comedy nila ko then pinagdrama ko at pinilit umiyak. They probably saw na kaya ko so they gave me the role.”
