Jaclyn Jose Talks About Tiff With Daughter Andi Eigenmann

JACLYN JOSE was not originally a mainstay in GMA-7’s hit soap “Carmela”. She’s just playing a guest role as Alden Richards’ mother, but the response to her character is very positive so she was a made a regular.

“Nahiya nga ako kasi ang parents ko, sina Laurice Guillen at Roi Vinzon na hindi naman ganun kalaki ang agwat ng edad sa akin,” she said. “Kasi nga, dapat, guest lang ako, e ginawang full length ang role ko. So sabi ko sa kanila, pasencia na. Ang ginawa ko, I made myself look younger on screen. Nagpakulot ako ng buhok at nagpabagets ng hitsura.”

How does it feel when other stars, even comedians like Shalala in “Echoserang Frog” and Michael V in “Bubble Gang”, imitate her kind of overly restrained acting? “Okay lang, it’s a free country. Nakaka-flatter ngang ginagaya nila ako. Pero iba-iba ang style ng acting ko. My Trixie character in ‘Carmela’ is so different from my Donya Charito in ‘Mundo Mo’y Akin’.”

How is she and her daughter Andi Eigenmann now? “We’re good. We’re not talking but we don’t fight. We don’t hate each other naman. Basta wala na yung tumatalak ako. Kasi yang si Andi, napakamakalat sa kuwarto niya. Ngayon, di ko na lang pinapansin.”

What can she say that Andi is said to have had a vacation with Jake Ejercito in Boracay? “Ayokong mag-comment dahil yan ngang pagkokomento noon about them ang pinagmulan ng hindi niya pagkausap sa akin. Basta I want to make it clear na hindi ako galit kay Jake. Nakita kong lumaki ang batang yan so parang anak ko na rin. Andi is 23 na, so she can decide for herself. May baby na nga siya. Kunsaan siya masaya, di dun siya. Pero sa’kin, very secure siya, wala siyang binabayaran, e. Ako gumagastos sa bahay. I even do the household chores. I do my part as her mother. Kasi love ko siya. Spoiled nga siya sa’kin, pero never akong nakialam sa lovelife niya.”

How about the story that Mark Gil, Andi’s dad, has a terminal illness? “I don’t know. I’m not the right person to ask kasi hindi kami nagkikita. Sana naman, hindi totoo.”

Aside from “Carmela”, Jaclyn is also busy with “Vampire ang Daddy Ko”? “Ang ganda, may drama ako, may comedy rin. Katatapos ko rin sa Regal ng ‘Somebody to Love’, movie ni Direk Joey Reyes. Akong mommy nina Matteo Guidicelli and Maricar Reyes. May Cinemalaya movie na ino-offer sa’kin, pero hindi ko na tinanggap. Kasi 50 na ako noong March 16, marami nang sumasakit-sakit sa’kin kaya ayoko na noong pinagsasabay-sabay ko ang trabaho.”

How about her lovelife? “Zero. Ewan ko nga kung bakit walang nanliligaw sa’kin? E, mukhang bata pa naman ako.”

Is she willing to do be a cougar with a younger lover? “Ay, ayoko. Gusto ko yung ka-age ko lang. Kung mas bata, baka ako pang magtuturo.”
