JENNYLYN MERCADO SAYS SHE DIDN'T FORBID PATRICK GARCIA TO JOIN HER IN HER NEW SOAP

Jennylyn Mercado
DID JENNYLYN Mercado forbid Patrick Garcia to be part of her new soap, “Little Star”, that starts this Monday? “No, hindi ko siya pinagbawalan at all,” she says. “But we talked about it and we agreed na mas mabuting hindi kami sabay magtrabaho para kung busy ako, I can leave our son Jazz with him kasi siya ngayon ang hatid-sundo sa bata sa school.”

How about her refusal to use Patrick’s surname for Jazz? “Alam nyo, it’s not an issue at all with us. Ni hindi namin napag-uusapan yan, kaya wag nyo nang gawaan ng issue. Basta as of now, masaya kaming maayos na ang lahat with his family, my family. Maging masaya na rin sana kayo for us.”

She’s happy to be directed by Maryo de los Reyes in “Little Star” where she plays a simple lass who takes care of a baby boy that she finds during a shipwreck at sea. It turns out the boy is the love son of a big movie star, Lovi Poe, who later tries to take the boy away from Jen. The show introduces a talented new child singer-actor, Nikki Castro, 6 years old, whose real name is Arthur Nixon Castro. Hopefully, he will be as popular as Jillian Ward who really gained fame as Trudis Liit and also makes “Little Star” a toprater in GMA’s Haponalo (former Dramarama sa Hapon.)
