Jean Garcia Has Learned To Accept Daughter Jennica's Bf, Alwyn Uytingco

JEAN GARCIA has played a lot of villain roles before but she considers her role as the witch Esmeralda in “Alice Bungisngis and Her Magic Walis” as one of the hardest she ever played. “Naging puno kasi ako rito kaya isa kong babaeng tuod,” she said. “Ang hirap, kasi ang bigat noong tree-like props na pinasusuot sa akin. Mainit na, di ka pa makagalaw masyado. Dusa. But it’s worth it kasi ang taas agad ng ratings ng show namin. This week, dahil kay Bea Binene as Alice, unti-unting babalik ang ganda at kapangyarihan ko. Si Bea naman, lumaking mabait na bata sa bahay ampunan pero inaapi ng ibang bata roon led by Rita Iringan.”

Her daughter Jennica is now also part of a new show, “My Beloved”. “At last, nagka-show uli siya. Inip na inip na nga yan ng walang ginagawa. I’m proud of her kasi, at 22, she’s very responsible. Nag-volunteer siya to help pag-aralin ang brother niya, Kotaro, who’s now 9 years old and very attached to her. Maayos ang mga diskarte niya sa buhay kaya bilib ako sa kanya.”

How come there’s a report she’s not happy with Jen’s boyfriend, Alwyn Uytingco? “I admit noong una, siempre, cautious ako. Bilang magulang, gusto mo munang masiguro kung okay ba talaga yung boyfriend ng anak mo. Normal lang naman yun. Pero nang mas makilala ko na si Alwyn, I realized mabait siyang bata. Maayos at maalaga sa anak ko, so I have no objections. Kontrabida lang ako sa TV, but not sa tunay na buhay as I can see happy silang dalawa.”
