“I really had to be fit kasi hindi biro ang action scenes na ipinagawa sa akin ni Direk Mark Reyes dito sa ‘The Cure’,” she says. “I used to be avoid action scenes, lalo na yung may mga pasabugan kasi natatakot ako, but dito, I had no choice kasi kailangan talaga sa story yung mga eksena ng takbuhan, talunan and endless fight scenes dahil action-thriller ang dating ng ‘The Cure’. So tuloy-tuloy ang training ko para rito, pati na yung jujitsu na dati ko naman nang ginagawa, to make sure I’ll be physically fit sa anumang taxing na eksenang ipagagawa pa sa’kin dito.”
She’s thankful to her leading man, Tom Rodriguez, who plays her husband in the story. “Tom is always full of energy. Maliksi siya laging kumilos so nahahawa ako sa kanya. Maski sa blastings, nawawala ang takot kasi kapag pinapanood ko siya, parang bale wala lang sa kanya yung mga pasabugan sa eksena. Don’t miss the pilot episode (tonight) kunsaan ipapakita how the virus spread and started the epidemic that turned people into monsters. Marami talagang eksenang nakakatensiyon.”About her lovelife, it’s obvious she and Dennis Trillo no longer hide their relationship. When Jen posted her photo on social media, Dennis commented: “Ang ganda naman talaga ng mahal ko.”
But like what they both say, marriage is still far from their minds. “Wala pa talaga sa plano namin,” says Jen. “Lalo na sa’kin, ang dami ko pang ibang gustong gawin sa buhay ko. I’m not really ready to settle down yet. Happy naman kami with what we have now so ganun na lang muna. No need to rush naman.”
