With this new chapter in her career, the actress is delighted. This she expressed in her recent Twitter post which read: “Good morning everyone! Just want to say thank you. I’m so happy and grateful for all your support, tweets, and comments. This early, I’m so thrilled and I want to extend my gratitude to all of you! (heart emoji) Yay!”
When officially interviewed by ABS-CBN News, Janine just couldn’t hold her excitement over this new development in her professional life.
“I really am excited to be a Kapamilya! I’m excited to work with its actors and directors. I’m truly looking forward to this New Year and I’m in a new home. It’s definitely a fresh start and I’m so thankful to ABS-CBN,” she said.
Meanwhile, in a separate interview, Paulo Avelino announced that he is the latest Kapamilya who will star opposite Janine in the upcoming Star Cinema potboiler Ngayon Kaya.

Kelvin Miranda admits that there is pressure on his part now that he’s being tagged as the next Alden Richards. Home network GMA-7 is launching him as a major lead in the new teleserye The Lost Recipe.
“Actually, I have mixed emotions when it comes to said tag,” he avers. “Of course, it makes me happy to get compared to someone who’s a good actor and very popular. But at the back of it, I also feel nervous because it’s Alden Richards. He’s on a league of his own. People’s expectations can be so high.”
But this doesn’t mean though that he’s retreating from the challenge.
“I’m not the type who will step back. In fact, I’m glad that people are taking notice of me at present. There is pressure, yes but I know it is part of my journey. There are still a lot of things that I have to learn and undergo in the ‘biz.”
In The Lost Recipe, Kelvin is paired with Mikee Quintos.
“She’s lovable! I admire her for her dedication to her craft,” ended Kelvin.
