FIRST READ ON PEP: Jennylyn Mercado nearly two months preggy, to wed Patrick Garcia

Nakatanggap ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ng balita kanina lamang, January 3, mula sa isang staff ng showbiz talk show na kumpirmadong buntis ang young actress na si Jennyly Mercado.

Ayon sa source ng PEP, six weeks and two days na ang dinadala ni Jennylyn courtesy ng kanyang boyfriend na si Patrick Garcia. Nagpa-check-up sina Jennylyn at Patrick sa St. Luke's kanina at dito nga nakumpirma ang pagbubuntis ng young actress na magtu-21 years old pa lang sa May 15.

Nang kumpirmahin ng staff ng showbiz talk show ang balitang buntis si Jennylyn, inamin naman daw ito agad ng young actor. Idinagdag pa ni Patrick na pananagutan niya ang dinadala ni Jennylyn.

Sa katunayan, at press time ay kasalukuyang nasa Makati City Hall sina Jennylyn at Patrick at nagpapakonsulta ang dalawa para sa nalalapit nilang pagpapakasal. Ayaw raw kasi ni Patrick, 26, na lumabas ang bata na hindi pa sila kasal ni Jennylyn.

Magkasama sina Jennylyn at Patrick sa bagong Sine Novela ng GMA-7, ang Maging Akin Ka Lamang. Tiyak na makakaapekto ang pagbubuntis na ito ni Jennylyn sa magiging takbo ng naturang afternoon soap opera.

Ang maganda lang dito sa pagbubuntis ni Jennylyn ay inalok siya ng kasal ng ama ng kanyang magiging anak. Kaso, tiyak na magiging problema ang magiging petsa ng kasal nina Patrick at Jennylyn dahil sa October 9 ng taong kasalukuyan ang kasal ng kapatid ng young actor na si Cheska Garcia sa basketbolistang si Doug Kramer. Kung saka-sakaling matuloy rin ang pagpapakasal nina Patrick at Jennylyn ay magiging sukob ang kasal ng magkapatid na Cheska at Patrick.

Sana inisip muna ni Jen ang kanyang career kesa sa puso niya! Napakasayang ng career niya, to think na hindi pa naman ganoon ka-established ang career niya unlike si Camille Prats-atleast na-achieve na niya ang kasikatan before getting preggy.

Sana inisip din muna ni Patrick na may inaalagaan career si jen. Sana nag-ingat na lang sila. Pero sino ba dapat sisihin di ba ang babae din? I know that babies are such a Blessing pero dapat inisip muna ang future nila.

Siguro pag nagbalik showbiz na si Jen, support na lang siya with the likes of her fellow Starstruck members- YASMIEN KURDI and NADINE SAMONTE. Both Yasmien and Nadine love their craft.

Sayang talaga si jen!

i don't think anyone should praise patrick for standing up for their baby. you shouldn't praise any man for doing what is just his obligation. syempre no choice yun kundi panindigan yung nagawa nila. alam kaya ng buong bayan na siya boyfriend ni jen. pag hindi niya pinanindigan yun eh isang bonggang-bonggang kuyog ang aabutin niya sa family at fans ni jen, not to include the media.

i just think it was really immature of them to think that they could just get married like that. pupunta lang sila sa city hall at ganun na? any fool knows matagal na proseso yun, kahit civil lang. and even if they did get married, as the judge said, it's not easy to stay married. factor pa yung financial preparedness nila to raise a family and emotional maturity. eh sa tingin ko pa lang kay patrick eh kahit 26 na batang isip pa rin. ni hindi nga maseryoso yung career nya, at lulong pa sa sugal. iba yung sasabihin niya na paninindigan niya si jen at yung bata; iba din yung kung pano niya gawin yun in the long run, ku

I don't think she will be able to regain her celebrity status (if any) after this forced hibernation. What I find disturbing is that I have not heard her expressing regret for her condition. What lessons is she teaching the youth? OK lang makipag-sex at an early age? OK lang na hindi mag-take ng steps to prevent pregnancies? It almost seems like a celebration of some sort. I agree with the wise judge who had the wisdom to remind these unprepared young couple that it's easy to get married, but it's not easy to stay married. If they do decide to get married anyways, I give them 3 years....tops!

02:16 AM hindi nga tuloy ang kasal nila diba?? napanood ko kanina sa 24 oras... sabi nung nagcounsel sa kanila YOU SHOULD GET MARRIED FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. which is correct

>>>ano pa bang right reason ang dapat sa kanila (Patrick & Jen)? Hindi pa ba sapat na mahal nila ang isa't-isa at buntis na yung babae? Mas okey naman sigruo kung ikasal sila keysa naman maging unwed mother si Jen at maging bastarda yung bata? Think about that. Sino ba yung counselor na yon at maupakan nga?

That's the end of her showbiz career. For sure pagkapanganak niya, start from the beginning na naman siya. Dami ng ganyan sa mga artista na nabuntis ng maaga pagkatapos nawalan na ng gana mga fans...ayun, bagsak ang career! Buti na lang kay Patrick siya nagpabuntis at hindi kay Mark. At least, may kaya ang pamilya ni Patrick.

well, considering that this girl is around the same age as Patrick, baka gusto na din talaga niyang mabuntis.

I appeal to all fans of Jennylyn...

I wish you don't blame Patrick for killing Jennylyn's career with the unexpected pregnancy. Nor should you blame Jennylyn for being careless... Nor should you blame the people around them, managers included.

Blame yourselves for being so pushy with Jen's career and setting very high expectations. You guys alrdy did that when Jen was still with Mark and when she went solo flight. I admire Mark kasi kahit paano may projects pa rin siya at hindi siya namimili kung bida siya (Fantastic Man/My Only Love) or support lang (Angelita/Joaquin Bordado). At this point in time, nasa process pa si Mark ng pag identify kung saan siya nababagay.

Jen can go back anytime but this time, sana di siya matulad kay Angelu na nabigyan ng 2nd chance before pero sinayang uli
