DURING a recent interview, Jessy Mendiola expressed her desire to collaborate with Kapuso actress Marian Rivera in the near future, especially now that GMA and ABS-CBN are working together.
Jessy stated that she would be honored to work with Marian and that many have suggested they could portray sisters onscreen due to their Mestiza looks. Jessy even mentioned that she would gladly accept a role as Marian’s Personal Assistant (PA) if that opportunity arose.
“Even if my role will be her PA, I will accept it,” she said in jest.
The actress also revealed her admiration for Marian, saying that she looks up to her. Jessy shared that she follows Marian’s family on social media, which illustrates the level of respect she has for her.
When asked about the reasons for her high regard towards the Kapuso actress, Jessy praised Marian’s dedication to her family, particularly as a hands-on mom. She believes that this aspect is something they both have in common and could bond over. Jessy also commended Marian’s acting skills, acknowledging her as the Queen of her craft and expressing her genuine eagerness to collaborate with her.
As for the GMA roster of actors, Jessy mentioned that given the chance, she would love to work with Marian’s husband, Dingdong Dantes. Having met Dingdong once before and being impressed by his kindness, she expressed her wish to be part of a project with him.
Interestingly, in what genre does she want to appear in her comeback project if ever?
“I prefer to play mommy characters. It will be a joy to see myself on screen with a kid. It’s heartwarming and inspiring. I’m really looking forward to go back to acting.”
The pretty actress clears though that her comeback will be gradual.
“I really requested to be given at least six months more so that I can witness and focus on the growth of my daughter Isabella Rose. I might do a mini-series first before I go full swing once again,” Jessy ended.

In a recent television guesting, Sef Cadayona revealed that he almost left showbiz especially when the public observed that he’s no longer part of Bubble Gang when the popular gag and comedy show transferred to a new timeslot every Sunday.
“I thought it was already time to graduate from the ‘biz,” he said. “But as you see, I’m still here. Actually, I haven’t left. If you still need me, I will always be around. Months before, this wasn’t the scenario. I was already contemplating quitting the business and looking into a different side of my life. I told myself, ‘I don’t want to be in showbiz anymore.’”
What was the reason why he came to that decision?
“Honestly, it’s because I wasn’t getting meaty offers then. It’s like, I was asking myself, ‘Am I still okay? Am I still able to portray my roles well?’”
