Janice de Belen on ex-husband John Estrada: "I do not feel the need to work with him."

  "I don't want burden on another person. I don't like that burden to be on his wife. I do not want to ever make her feel uncomfortable even if it's just we are working together," explains Janice de Belen about choosing not to work with ex-husband John Estrada, who is now married to Priscilla Meirelles.

It's been a decade since Janice de Belen was last seen on ABS-CBN.

Now, she's returning to the Kapamilya network with the role of Gerald Anderson's mother in the upcoming primetime series titled "Budoy."

Her last project on ABS-CBN was Saan Ka Man Naroroon (2000). After that, most of her TV projects were on GMA-7, except for her cooking show Spoon, which is still airing on Net 25.

The actress admitted that she was excited when told that she would be working again with ABS-CBN.

"Kasi, bagong environment, kaya may kakaibang excitement. Parang bago ulit, umpisa ulit.

"In other words, pakitang gilas ka ulit," Janice told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other media on the set of Budoy yesterday, October 5.

She also related how happy she is about being able to work with different networks.

Janice, who is not exclusive to any TV network, said, "Wala naman akong problema pagdating sa ganyan.

"Mahirap din akong maging exclusive kasi I have Spoon, which is on another network [Net 25].

"But then, hindi mo naman ako kailangang papirmahin sa papel para sabihin ko na loyal ako.

"Kasi, while I'm working here, I'll be working with them.

"The only station I will be working with is Net 25."

Does this also mean that she'll be more visible on the Kapamilya network?

"Wala akong final answer," Janice replied.

"All I know is I'm enjoying. I'm having a good time now.

    Yes, no need. You have always been a good actress and now have proven yourself to be a good TV host. ABS CBN should really look into giving Janice a hosting job.

    Sorry, hindi mahilig sa guapo si Janice, bakit si John ba kalevel ang look ni Aga at ni Gabby? Kumabit lang siya kay Janice na sikat na sikat noon para sumikat din siya. Pero nafefeel ko unti unti na naglalaho ang kinang ni John Pervert kung may kinang talaga ha? Palagay ko wala.

    She's one of the best hosts we have. She makes the guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Magaling siyang magtanong na parang nagkukuwentuhan lang kayo. Lumalabas tuloy ang interesting personality and non-showbiz side ng mga guests niya. Very interesting ang usapan, walang intrigahan, no pretenses na nagmamagaling at nagtatalinu-talinuhan.

    super ganda kahit hindi retokada more veggies and fruits nalang would reduce her a little. Anyway, wala naman sa kaseksihan ang kaswertihan nasa loob yan. For me, she's very pretty, what a big loss for John for leaving this very great mother, great wife and a smart woman.

    Janice, here are my suggestions. WORKOUT WORKOUT WORKOUT! DIET DIET DIET! Pag SEXY ka na uli, daanan mo si John at pag lumingon sya, WAG MO pansinin kahit naglalaway na sya sayo, hehehe...

    I always like Janice, she is very responsible, may breeding pero palaban at napakagaling na artista. She's also very down to earth at she is also honest sa mga answer nya sa interview. Sana magpa reduce sya, ganda pa naman ng mukha nya.
