Jericho Rosales & Jennylyn Mercado Have Mutual Admiration For Each Other After Being Paired In 'Walang Forever'

JERICHO ROSALES was praised to high heavens by his leading lady in “Walang Forever”, Jennylyn Mercado, during their presscon. When asked about him, Jen declared: “Siya na yung pinakamabait sa mga nakasama ko. Ang galing niya, kasi makikita mo kahit sa staff kung paano niya tinatrato ang mga tao, mula sa maliliit hanggang sa malalaki. Maalaga siya sa lahat.”

What can Jericho say about this? “Ano pa kundi, maraming salamat,” he says. “E, ganun din naman si Jennylyn. Napakagaan niyang kasama. Nag-click nga kami agad sa shooting. Actually, bago pa kami nagkapareha rito, nakikita ko pa lang siya noon sa mga billboard niya, naisip ko nang sana, mabigyan kami ng chance na magkatrabaho rin. Heto nga, nagkatotoo na.”

What can he say about Jen’s acting? “She’s the best. Puede siyang tawaging rom-com queen, bagay talaga sa kanya after the success of her movies (‘English Only Please’, ‘The Prenup’), but in fairness to her, she’s also good in doing drama scenes. Ito kasing ‘Walang Forever’, hindi lang ito basta rom-com, marami rin itong dramatic scenes and she’s also good in all of them.”

Did he have second thoughts about accepting the project that was originally meant for JM de Guzman? “No, it was never an issue. Noon ko pa gusto gumawa ng ganitong light drama with touches of comedy na matagal ko nang hindi nagagawa, so I consider this an answered prayer and I want to thank the Lord for granting my request. Kahit na third choice pa ako, I won’t let go of the opportunity to do this project na Metro filmfest entry pa.”
