Jake Zyrus on MMK 'Jumper' episode: "My no. 1 basher is my mom"

We have just witnessed Jake Zyrus' life story on MMK, and it came as a shock that it tackled not just only the struggles he had for being an LGBTQA member and his transition from Charice to Jake, but also how his mom "maltreated" him since his childhood days because of his sexuality.

Based on Jake's story on MMK, his mother Racquel Pempengco, who was brilliantly portrayed by Dina Bonnevie, never fully accepted him for who he is.

There's even one heartbreaking scene where he said that his mom was his #1 basher.

"Alam mo ba kung gaano kasakit, na ang #1 basher ko ay ang sarili kong ina?", Charice / Jake Zyrus said, while talking to his ex-girlfriend (played by Erin Ocampo).

It was also shown how Mommy Racquel repeatedly called her "hayup" and "imoral".

His mom perhaps could be fuming mad now after watching his story on MMK.

I understand Jake's longing for acceptance and I respect him for who he is, but I also feel bad for his mom that she was portrayed as evil there. Assuming she's that bad, I can feel she's still a good mom because she only wanted the best for her child.

Jake Zyrus wouldn't be what he is or wouldn't have what he has now if not because of his mom, who apparently pushed him to dream big and molded him to be the Charice that the world loved before.

MMK I guess should also feature her side of the story.

What's your own thoughts on Jake's story earlier on MMK?

During the contract signing, Vaness says that she is very contented with the way GMA is handling her career all these years. "Nagsimula ako sa Starstruck 11 years ago. Batch 3 ako. At simula noon hanggang ngayon, feeling ko, dito na ako sa GMA 7 tatanda at dito na rin ako magre-retire. Ramdam na ramdam ko ever since Starstruck hanggang ngayon, hindi ako napabayaan. At tuloy-tuloy ang pag-alaga sa akin ng Artist Center."

 Vaness excels in playing character roles, like her contravida role as Gurna in the hit show, "Encantadia". She is now part of the Afternoon Prime series "Impostora" as Crisel, an oppressor of Kris Bernal as Nimfa and she is thankful to all the show's loyal viewers for making their show one of the top-rating series in the Afternoon Prime block. "Maraming salamat sa lahat ng sumusubaybay sa 'Impostora'. Abangan nyo kasi mas nakaka-excite ang mga susunod na episodes lalo na sa character ni Crisel. May turnaround na mangyayari sa role ko. Abangan nila kung mapapasama pa ba lalo si Nimfa dahil sa bagong kamalditahang gagawin ni Crisel."

Meanwhile, Jake says he is very pleased to renew his contract with the Kapuso Network. "Salamat sa pagtitiwala nila sa akin. Dito talaga ako nagsimula sa GMA. 7 years na akong Kapuso. Nagstart ako sa 'Walang Tulugan with The Master Showman' at pagkatapos nun, sunud-sunod na ang mga shows ko dito. Ang dami nilang naitulong sa career ko. Kaya, Kapuso talaga ako. At ang sabi sa akin ni Tatay (German Moreno), hanggang marami kang naipapakita sa kanilang maganda, huwag kang aalis, sa GMA-7 ka talaga. Kaya gusto kong pasalamatan ang GMA Network sa walang sawang pagtitiwala at pagmamahal nila sa akin."
