Jessa enjoyed playing Sarah Lahbati’s mom in “Kokak”, but after it ends next month, she wants to rest for a while. “Nakakapagod kasi to do a soap. I will focus muna in promoting my new album, ‘Pag Wala na Ang Ulan’. Balik ako rito with Vehnee Saturno, who did ‘Bakit Pa’ for me before. It has six songs na potential hits. Pinoy na Pinoy ang tunog at tema, to be released by GMA Records. After the launch, I’ll have a concert sa Brisbane and Melbourne Australia from February 21 to 27. Then Dingdong (Avanzado, her husband) and I will return to the U.S. para ayusin ang green card namin. When we come back here in March, si Dingdong naman ang maglo-launch ng new album niya with Viva Records. We’ll be in the U.S. when we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary on March 18. Yes, ten years na kami and still going strong kahit iniintriga kami.”
She was black and blue when we visited her on the set of “Kokak”. “Ginulpi kasi ako ni Gian Magdangal, who plays Norman, my husband. Viewers would think napakabait niya but it turns out he’s psychotic. Siya rin pala ang pumatay sa first wife niya dahil sa sobrang selos and now, I’m a battered wife dahil sa pagseselos niya kay Gary Estrada. He can be very violent pala.”
