JANICE DE BELEN is now a proud grandma to her son
Luigi’s 8-month old baby boy and she doesn’t mind being called Lola. “It’s up to him kapag nagsasalita na siya kung anong itatawag niya sa’kin,” she says. “I’m so proud of my son as he’s a very responsible dad. I was shocked when I saw how devoted he is to his son. I’m a single mom and there were moments I was asking kung napalaki ko ba ng tama ang anak ko. Now, when I see him with his own family, masasabi kong okay naman pala the way I brought him up. Sayang nga lang di kami madalas magkita as they live in Paranaque, e ako, sa Quezon City. But we were together last Christmas. New Year, hindi, kasi may work si Luigi sa restaurant where he’s a chef. Sa mga anak kong naiwan sa’kin, ang sabi ko, magtapos muna sila ng college bago sila mag-showbiz.”
She’s thankful to GMA-7 since she’s never without an assignment after “Sis” folded up. After doing “Darna” and “Endless Love” with Marian Rivera, she now plays mom to Heart Evangelista in “Dwarfina” that starts airing tomorrow, with Cris Villanueva as the dad. “May nasira akong bahay ng nuno sa punso without knowing nasa ilalim pala noon ang Duwende World so isinumpa ng reyna nila, si Jackielou Blanco, ang bata inside my womb at nang isilang ko, mukhang duwende rin ito, si Ina, na later napunta rin sa Duwende World at naging Dwarfina, to be played by Heart.”
