Janice started as a child newscaster in “Newswatch Junior Edition” and hit it big as a child star in “Flor de Luna”. At 18, she got pregnant and delivered Luigi, sired by Aga Muhlach. She later married John Estrada and they have four kids.
It’s not an easy ride for Janice as a mom. She admitted in “SIR” that Luigi got into drugs, sent into rehab and she was not in favor when he became a dad and got married at 22, but having his own family no doubt straightened Luigi. We cannot blame him if he went stray as he comes from a dysfunctional family. He saw his mom having her own family and also his dad with his own family, and no matter what you say, he must’ve felt like an outsider hovering somewhere in between.
Janice was honest enough to admit that her problems with Luigi must’ve been her karma for her own sins that made her parents cry when she got pregnant out of wedlock. “It was so hard for me as a parent na tanggaping hindi ko siya napalaki nang maayos. Kasi ‘pag single parent ka, ‘pag maayos ‘yung nangyayari sa anak mo, hindi mo naman nakukuha ‘yung credit nang solo eh. Pero ‘pag napariwara ‘yung anak mo, ikaw lang mag-isa ang may kasalanan niyan.”
But somehow, it ended well for Luigi, who finished culinary arts and now has his own restaurant. He has given Janice two grandchildren so far.
