Jackie Rice Has Great Star Potential, GMA Should Give Her Better Breaks

JACKIE RICE looks so sexy at her launch as the endorser of Robust. But isn’t the product intended for men who want to enhance their virility? “Akong muse nila,” she says. “Ang boyfriend ko, tumagal ang relasyon namin ng six years dahil nagte-take siya ng Robust para maging masaya kami pareho. Maganda talaga itong food supplement para maging astig ang mga gustong maging tunay na barako.”

Jackie says they’re not living in. But after six years, do they plan to walk down the aisle in the near future? “No, hindi pa. 24 lang ako. Matagal pa bago ako magpatali. I don’t see myself settling down soon and having my own baby. Gusto kong maging mother somday, pero matagal pa. But I’m hoping itong boyfriend ko na ngayon ang Mr. Right sa buhay ko. Ayoko naman ng papalit-palit.”

Jackie is such a competent actress. She has proven this in her recent acclaimed movie, “Kamkam”, where she played the feisty third wife of Allen Dizon who later on kills him. A contract star of GMA-7 after winning in Starstruck 3, how come she doesn’t have a new soap yet? Her latest was “Inamorata” that ended several months ago.

“One soap lang po talaga ako a year, e,” she says. “2011, I was launched in ‘Sisid’. After that, naging kontrabida na ako in 2012 in ‘Kasalanan Bang Ibigin Ka’ and in 2013 in ‘Bukod Kang Pinagpala’. Next year na po uli siguro ako bibigyan ng bagong show.”

We wish GMA would utilize Jackie more. She’s not only sexy but also can act, so she should be given more assignments. We last saw her in an episode of “Wish Ko Lang” where she is shown berating an old woman. A lot of people reacted against her, thinking she is just being overly “mataray” to a fan. But it turned out it’s all just a part of a social experiment that “Wish Ko Lang” was conducting and the old woman she berated was also an actress like Jackie.
