NO WONDER JACKIE RICE came to the “Sisid” presscon limping. “The cast has been removed pero may benda pa rin ang daliri ko to protect it. It’s my fault, I got carried away. E, I don’t want naman to be cause of delay, so tinuloy ko pa rin ang eksena. My role as Eden is physically and emotionally demanding. Physically, as I do a lot of swimming scenes in my role as a pearl driver. Emotionally dahil maraming dramatic scenes na iyakan talaga. I’m the daughter here of Angelu de Leon and a diver, Daniel Fernando, who became an invalid while searching for the giant pearl called perlante. Inaapi kami ng mga kamag-anak namin, led by Maricar de Mesa. My dream is to find the giant pearl and leave our island para guminhawa ang buhay namin. I meet Dominic, the son of Alicia Meyer na may past pala with my father at gustong maghiganti. The complex story will surely hook viewers.”
“Sisid” starts airing today on GMA’s Dramarama sa Hapon replacing “My Lover, My Wife”. Iwa Moto is Jackie’s runnerup in Starstruck 3. What can she say about Iwa’s messy lovelife now? “I’ve not seen or talked to her for a long time,” says Jackie. “But I really want to tell her I’m just here to help her anytime. Iwa is smart, so I know whatever she’s going through, malalampasan din niya. The best thing she can do is just go on working to forget her problems.
