Jean Garcia's teenage daughter Jennica appeared yesterday, June 7, at Showbiz
Central's Gimme Mo segment where she gets grilled by none other than host Mo
Twister. Probably familiar with the host's way of interviewing guests, Jennica looked quite nervous for the tough questions to be thrown at her that day. When Mo asked the young actress if she was ready to begin the segment, Jennica suddenly blurted out, "Wala
naman akong choice, e!"
Sure enough, Mo didn't waste time and directly asked Jennica
about her status with former flame Mart Escudero. He said, "Yung recent break
up n'yo with Mart Escudero, you have not openly admitted kung bakit kayo nag
break. Rumors say na seloso si Mart. What's the real reason bakit nag break
kayo?"
"Una sa lahat, si Mart hindi siya seloso," reasoned Jennica.
"Understanding pa nga siya, e. Pangalawa, noon kami naman, naging open kami sa
public. Wala kaming tinatago at lahat ng tanong sinasagot naming dahil alam namin
pareho na wala kaming ginagawang masama."
Sensing that his question may have baffled Jennica, Mo insisted, "Okay, well answer this
question: Why did you break up then?"
Jennica, who looked a little cautious this time, answered, "Kasi,
ayoko na talaga sabihin ang tunay na dahilan kasi respeto ko na iyon sa tao at
thankful na rin ako na natapos ang relasyon namin dalawa na maayos at naging
magkaibigan kami."
But whose idea was it to break up? Did Jennica initiate it
or did Mart suggest this option?
"Kung kaya ko naman sabihin at kung kaya kong pag usapan ang
breakup namin ni Mart, e, matagal ko nang ginawa kasi matagal na po iyon,"
explained Jennica. After saying those words, she pleaded, "Hindi ko na kaya
Mo, next question na tayo."
Mo, who was taken aback by Jennica's request suddenly found
himself asking, "Kakasabi mo lang na lahat ng tanong, e..."
"E, kami pa kasi noon," interjected Jennica.
Sensing that he was going nowhere with this or any Mart
Escudero-related questions, Mo moved on to a new subject, although it still
involved relationships. This time, it was about Survivor Philippines winner JC Tiuseco. According to Mo, JC claimed that he and Jennica had a relationship. Is this true?
Looking at the camera, Jennica gave a mock frown and said, "Ikaw talaga JC, palabiro ka. Hindi totoo yun.
Hindi ko alam kung may nasabi siyang ganoon, pero ako confident na wala. Kung mayroon
man akong naging boyfriend sa showbiz, e si Mart lang yun."
How about M.U. (mutual understanding)?
"MU? Wala!" said Jennica. "Wala. Nagtrabaho lang kami one
time sa Maynila. Pagkatapos noon, wala
na po."
So what's with JC? Why did he make claims about them being an item?
"Wala talaga," laughed Jennica.
ON HER MOM AND
YOUNGER MEN. The next question now focused on Jennica's celebrity mother Jean Garcia whose last relationship was with young actor Polo Ravales. In all honesty, does Jennica feel
bothered with her mom dating younger men?
"At first talaga, oo," admitted Jennica. "Na-bother talaga
ako, e, kasi kung ano iniisip ko, e. Ang maturity kasi para sa akin, hindi
makikita sa edad. Sa pag tagal, ok na basta walang naaapakan ang mommy ko at
makikita ko na masaya mommy ko."
Right now, does Jennica have any assessment on Jean's
ex-boyfriend Polo?
Jennica immediately answered, "hindi kami naging close ni
Polo, e...Kasi, pag si Mama nagkwe-kwento siya about kay Polo, madalas, e
pinagkwekwentuhan na lang namin ang love life ko. Siya kasi hindi nagkwekwento
pag hindi ako nagtatanong. So pag dating kay Polo, hindi ako nagtatanong."
Last question for Jennica was, "If there's one thing you've
learned from the mistakes of your mom na hindi mo gagawin, ano iyon?"
"Walang ginawang pagkakamali ang mama ko," Jennica answered.
"Wala. Wala siyang ginawa na puwede kong sabihin. Single mom siya, dalawa anak
niya at strong ang personality niya. Kahit anong problema kaya niyang lagpasan...Ako
talaga, alam ko heartaches ni mommy at ayoko dagdagan at hindi ako gagawa ng
mga bagay na alam ko na masasaktan siya."
