Jean Garcia Trusts Daughter Jennica's Talent Will Get Her New Projects After Being Dumped By GMA-7

JEAN GARCIA is so thankful that GMA-7 is giving her one show after another. Since she became a Kapuso in 2006, she has had a total of 22 shows. Her soaps are “Majika”, “Atlantika”, “Impostora”, “La Vendetta”, “Dyesebel”, “Gagambino”, “All About Eve”, “Dear Friend”, “Stairway to Heaven”, “Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita”, “Ilumina”, “Alakdana”, “Time of My Life”, “Spooky Nights”, “Alice Bungisngis”, “One True Love”, “Kakambal ni Eliana”, “Adarna” and now, “The Half Sisters”. She was also given a chance to be a host in “Para Sa’Yo ang Laban Na ‘To”, “Personalan” and “Love Hotline”.

“Kaya naman talagang happy ako sa GMA at laging nagpapasalamat,” she says. “Kasi talagang hindi ako nababakante at kung minsan, nakaka-three to four shows ako in one year.”

How come she didn’t use her influence to ask GMA bosses to renew the contract of her daughter Jennica?

“Sa akin kasi, very positive ang tingin ko riyan. Bata pa naman si Jennica. She has a long way to go. It will give her the opportunity to work with other networks. Ganundin naman ako noon, sinubukan ko lahat before as a freelancer. I even worked sa Japan. So may chance si Jennica na after working with GMA, subukan niyang maging freelancer na lang muna. Hindi naman sarado ang pintuan ng GMA for her, pero may opportunity na siyang makapagtrabaho sa ABS, sa TV5 at tapos, kung sino ang magtitiwala ulit sa kanya at magugustuhan din niya, puwede siyang magpakontrata uli if ever. Masipag naman siyang magtrabaho. Alam niya kung ano ang gusto niya. Kapag pinapanood mo siya, 101 percent naman ang ibinigay niyang passion sa trabahong ginagawa niya.”

In “The Half Sisters”, she has two leading men who are both younger than her: Jomari Yllana and Ryan Eigenmann. “Hindi naman alangan sa kanila ang lola nyo, ah!” she jokes. “And take note, pinagnanasaan at pinag-aagawan nila kong dalawa. Si Jomari, ni-rape pa ko. At pareho pa akong nagkaanak sa kanila, si Barbie Forteza kay Jom at si Thea Tolentino kay Ryan. At sabay ko silang pinagbuntis at ipinanganak. Kung paano nangyari yun, yun ang abangan nyo rito sa ‘Half Sisters’ shown after ‘Eat Bulaga’ sa GMA Afternoon Prime.”
