JENNYLYN MERCADO is so pleased that this early, some quarters are predicting she'd win another best actress award in the coming Metro filmfest for her entry, 'All of You', but she wouldn't bank on it. "Dapat, mapanood muna yung ibang entries bago magsalita ng ganyan," she says. "But still, salamat sa tiwala nila sa'kin kasi compared to my other two films where I won awards before, 'English Only, Please' and 'Walang Forever', mas mature talaga at mas challenging ang papel na ginampanan ko rito sa 'All of You'. Medyo takot magmahal yung character ko rito kasi galing sa isang masakit na relationship. E, hindi naman ako ganun, kahit naranasan ko na rin yung masaktan. Ito na rin yung pinaka-daring na ginawa ko in terms of love scenes with Derek Ramsay. Tinodo ko na rito. I trusted our director, Dan Villegas, alam ko namang in good taste at hindi laswaan lang lalabas ang bedscenes namin."
Will her current BF Dennis Trillo watch it with her? "Tinimbrihan ko na siya at sabi niya, hindi raw siya manonood para hindi siya mailang. At okay na rin sa'kin yun, para hindi rin ako mailang."
Jen says 2018 has been a good year for her, on and off cam. She's now in better terms with Patrick Garcia, the dad of her love son Alex Jazz.
"Thanks to him and his wife, si Nikka, na napakabait at very supportive kay Alex," she says. "Nikka is very understanding. Everytime na dalawin nila si Alex, buong family sila, kasama ang daughters nila, so lumalaki si Alex na close sa dad niya, stepmom and his sisters."
Is Alex also close to her current BF, Dennis Trillo? "Yes, Tito ang tawag niya kay Dennis at naglalaro sila."
How about to Dennis' own love son, Calix? "Bihira namin siyang makita. Pag may okasyon lang like kung birthday niya at ngayon, Christmas and New Year."
So will they be going away this holiday season? "No, I have to promote my entry, 'All of You', may parade of stars pa and may awards night na required kami to attend so hindi puedeng umalis."
