IT’S THE FINAL week of “Because of You” and Jackielou Blanco is very thankful to have been a part of this highly successful primetime romantic comedy series on GMA Telebabad. “Alam kong maraming nainis sa akin dahil sa contravida role ko as Lucille but this week, nagkabati na kami ni Carla Abellana as Andrea at nag-sorry na ako sa kanya for trying to sabotage her wedding to Gabby Concepcion as Jaime,” she says. “But Carla is still scared na hindi pa rin matuloy ang wedding nila kasi lahat ng superstitious beliefs na dapat iwasan ng mga ikakasal, nangyari sa kanila ni Gabby. Don't miss the last remaining episodes dahil marami pang exciting twists na mangyayari kina Carla at Gabby.”
Last Sunday, Mother’s Day, Jackie was very happy to be with her three children who greeted her warmly: Kenneth, her eldest and only son who’s now 27 years old and has given her a grandson; Rikki Mae, 23, who has come out as a lesbian and is well accepted by their whole family, and Arabella, the youngest at 18 who’s movie star material.
She herself made sure she greeted her own mom, Pilita Corrales. “I’ve learned so many good values from my own mom. She was always there, available for me and my brother Monching as we were growing up, kaya I cannot let Mother’s Day go without letting her know how much I love her,” she beams.
