As 'Second Chances' End, Jennylyn Mercado All Set To Be One Of The Judges In New Season Of 'Starstruck'

NOW THAT HER soap, "Second Chances", is on its last few weeks, Jennylyn Mercado is grateful that GMA management has given her another assignment right away as one of the judges in the new season of "Starstruck". "This is very meaningful for me kasi ako mismo, produkto ng very first batch ng Starstruck," she says. "Ngayon, after ten years in the business, isa na ako sa judges na pipili sa mga magiging bagong set of winners. It's really a big honor and I promise to do my best in sharing with the new contestants ang mga sarili kong naging experiences noong aspiring wannabe pa ako sa showbiz."

After winning best actress for "English Only, Please", Jennylyn is all set to do a new movie. Everything is coming up roses for her, except for her lovelife. Despite rumors that she has reconciled with ex-BF Dennis Trillo, she insists that they are just good friends. "Sa akin, kapag nakaraan na, tapos na yun. At natutuwa ako na yung mga ex ko, nagiging kaibigan ko naman. Kasi it will be very difficult to move on kung lagi mo pa ring dala-dala kung anuman yung nangyari sa inyo the past. Mas maganda yung wala ka nang kinikimkim na anumang sama ng loob. Kami nga ni Mark Herras, best of friends din kami and I'm very happy for Patrick Garcia na magpapakasal na sila ng bago niyang love na si Nikka. Positive vibes na lang ang lahat."

Her only ex-BF she is not in good terms with is Luis Manzano, who's now back in the arms of his own ex, Angel Locsin. "Hindi pa lang kasi nagko-cross ang paths namin since we broke up two years ago. But if ever na magkikita kami by accident, I'm sure hindi kami mag-iiwasan. Ako na ang unang babati sa kanya and I don't think Luis is the type na pagtataguan ako. So confident akong magkakabati rin kami in the near future."
