Kung si Lotlot de Leon mismo ang tatanungin, ayaw niyang mag-artista ang anak na si Janine Gutierrez. Maganda ang dalaga kaya marami ang humihikayat dito na pasukin rin ang showbiz.

"Gusto ko sana iba. Gusto ko magkaroon siya ng ibang career, hindi sa showbiz kasi ang dami pang puwedeng gawin, e. Hindi lang naman sa showbiz,"Lotlot says.

Noong Biyernes ay natupad na ang isa sa mga pangarap nina Lotlot de Leon at Ramon Christopher — ito ay ang pagtatapos sa kolehiyo ng panganay nilang anak na si Janine Gutierrez.

Nagtapos ng kursong European Studies sa Ateneo De Manila University si Janine at ang kanyang graduation ceremonies ay naganap 4 p.m. last Friday, March 25.

Nguni't bago ito ay nagkaroon muna ng isang baccalaureate Mass ng 8 a.m. na sinundan naman ng speech ng guest of honor na si Philippine President Noynoy Aquino.

Present sa mahalagang okasyon na ito sa buhay ni Janine ay ang kanyang mga magulang na sina Lotlot at Monching at ang tatlong nakakabatang kapatid ni Janine na sina Jessica, Diego at Maxine.

Kahit hiwalay na ay nanatiling magkaibigan sina Lotlot at Monching, lalo na pagdating sa pagpapalaki ng kanilang apat na anak.

Pagkatapos ng graduation rites ay dumiretso ang mag-anak sa Blufrog Restaurant & Bar sa Tiendesitas para sa isang dinner party.

Dumating naman dito ang older sister ni Monching at hipag ni Lotlot na si Jackie Lou Blanco, pati na rin ang manager ni Lotlot na si Cornelia Lee na mas kilala bilang si Tita Angge.

Present rin ang mga kaibigan ni Lotlot from showbiz, ang mga aktres na sina Mymy Davao, Sharmaine Suarez, Karla Estrada at Kookoo Gonzales.

Later that night ay dumating naman sa pagtitipon ang mga kapatid ni Lotlot na sina Kiko at Ian de Leon.

Sa panayam ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Lotlot, sinabi ng aktres na...

"Sobrang proud ako kaninang nakita ko ang anak na umakyat sa stage para tanggapin ang diploma niya, naiyak ako sa sobrang kaligayahan.

"Ngayong nakatapos ang anak ko, kahit na ano pang... ang dami-daming nanunumbat sa akin, bumabatikos na hindi ako mabuting ina, tingnan ko lang sila, parang iyon na yung ano ko e, na tingnan ninyo ang mga anak ko, kung iyon yung mga sinasabi ninyo about me," pahayag ng aktres na bakas sa mukha ang sobrang kaligayahan ng mga sandaling iyon.

Meron na bang planong career si Janine after her graduation?

"May mga plano po siya kaya lang I think dun po sa mga plano niya kinukunsidera pa rin niya kaming mga magulang niya, e.

"So ako naman sinasabi ko sa kanya kung ano yung talagang gusto niya, iyon ang gawin niya. Sundin niya yung palagay niyang tama para sa kanya."

Good on you Lotlot... it shows what kind of mother were you. sana hindi talaga mag artista ang mga anak mo dahil maraming anak ng artista na nag artista wala namang "K". Ginagamit lang ang pangalan ng magulang para makapasok sa showbiz, hindi naman bagay sa kanila ang showbiz, walang ibubga, sinisira lang nila ang kagalingan ng magulang nila. keep up the good work...

Lotlot obviously knows how important education is because she was not able to get a good one. She did better as a mother by ensuring that her kids will go to college, despite the separation from Monching. She also knows the pitfalls of showbiz kaya she's not pushing her daughter into it. Congratulations to Lotlot and Monching for guiding their children to value education. I hope Janine becomes successful in the field she goes into.

Congrats Janine and your parents. Yung European Studies pwede pong i-apply sa Department of Tourism iyan o kaya magtrabaho sa mga European embassies diyan sa Philippines. Pwede din pong mag-trabaho sa Department of International Affairs applicable din iyang major na iyan, kaya hindi naman bad choice, specially may connections yung family niya, pwede.

exactamente, mira sorvino being in u.s. has all the options available to her, not just being an actres. all these wonderful,boundless options cited here by everyone are available overseas. could one say that about pinas really? kaya pala daming nangibang-bansa di po ba, incl those highly educated. optimism is good pero kelangan din i-temper ng statistics at data. need more proof -check out latest comm on higher education on those courses that are employable. yun lang naman pinag debatehan dito. yung course nya and job prospects.

And if you have the heart and stomach for it, there's always politics. Kung si Pacquiao at Lapid na hindi mabasa o maintindihan ang Constitution, o si Anjelica Jones na walang utak nagiging politicians, di siguro puede rin ang katulad mo na may college degree. Point is, dream as big as you want, then go for it. Work hard and the world can be yours. Good luck graduate!

That's because Mira Sorvino chose to be an actress, and that is fine. Unfortunately, in the Philippines people are limited in their choice of profession on which to apply their education. In countries like the US people who majored in country or region studies can work as writers, researchers, political, commentators, journalists, teachers, and many other support positions. They can work for the UN, government agencies, media, publishers, think tanks, museums, research universities, embassies, humanitarian organizations, textbook companies, international organizations, multinational corporations. Commentators on major networks are people who studied specific areas or subjects. If one wants to teach high school, in the US, European History is part of the curriculum in many districts. And Europe is the focus in World History, which is a core subject. So Janine, showbiz is not your only option. We have a borderless world and it's open to you. Don't let anyone limit your dreams.

actress mira sorvino majored in asian studies sa harvard and ended up showbiz. di na tayo magmaang-maangan pa at maging ipokrita. alam nating walang direct practical application yung mga ganung kurso outside of teaching it which requires graduate and or doctorate degrees pa. mas fair pa to say yung skills she learned from school like critical thinking yun ang magamit nya to sell herself in looking for a job but not what she actually learned sa course.

A major in European Studies covers various disciplines such as - classical history, modern history, economics, literature, art history, linguistics, culture, political science. It includes studies in political thought from democracy, fascism, nazism, socialism, and other forms of totalitarianism. To study the art history of Europe alone is a major in itself, with the study of Renaissance art. In US universities, it requires a significant amount of research and writing. One has to have the ability to analyze and demonstrate the various critical thinking strategies necessary to write the numerous research papers a student will tackle in the course of the study. Knowing Ateneo, am fairly certain that this major is not an easy one as some people here are suggesting. Congratulations Janine - you have received a classic education from an excellent institution!

stocksandbonds- People look down on teachers because in the Philippines they barely make enough to sustain their family. That's especially true of public school teachers, which is tragic. For a country that boasts of putting a high premium on education, it shows extremely little respect for the profession. How can the government stand idly by knowing their teachers have to sell candy, tocino, bras, etc. etc. in order to augment their income? It's no wonder schools, especially public schools, do not get the best and brightest to teach their children. That's why they trek to other countries where they can make a decent living in exchange for their education and labor. In the US, a beginning elementary or secondary teacher, on the national average, makes USD4,000 a month, plus health care benefits. My friends who have been teaching for 15 - 20 years make USD8,000 - 10,000 a month, depending on the state. Other countries do even better.

Janine, if you got the motivation and the financial support, go for grad studies in the UK and then work for a consultancy dealing with Asian or Phil Business. That is some serious money.Specialists in culture and national identities are important for multinationals as one of their biggest barriers in conquering new markets include cultural gaps.Once again, congrats 2u and your parents! This is only the beginning of it all!

My Profs. in my current university make more than politicians.Those with tenure are assured careers for life.Plus they get to do some fantastic research and publish books and articles that allow them to leave good legacy - they actually make a difference.Average schoolteachers in Europe and the UK do very,very well with salaries that continually increase per annum.In the UK, teachers, even at training recieve a packet of 27K pounds a year, about 2.3 million pesos.For a young teacher, that is very good money.

Now,teaching and lecturing in Pinas, if you arent working for top universities and those that pay well i.e. Asia Pacific or Ateneo is not rewarding money-wise.But it is a steady and rewarding career.We need good teachers.In Europe and even in Thailand, teaching is a fantastic career.I have Profs. in Bangkok making 70-100K a month and thats in Baht.Here in Europe, my Profs, with MAs and PhDs start at 35K either Euros or Sterling.My current thesis adviser makes about 120Kpounds per annum.Pag nalinya ka sa research ms amalki at great opportunities for travel.Teaching is a fabtastic career and it is not all about lecturig in the classroom.

European studies is not linguistics-focused, its probably just an elective. This is more focused on studying Europe's history and culture.I say its a very good foundation to get one into Foreign Service.If she applies sa DFA she can get started with a career there and she will,if successful be sent to European countries.She can also work for a multitude of European companies with branches in Pinas and shes from Ateneo so its easy to get hired.Its quite an achievement, really.

ano namang masama kung maging isang teacher or flight attendant? kinaiinisan ko talaga when people look down at teachers! practically the entire professions rely on them. there won't be any doctors, engineers, cops, violinist even president of any country without a teacher who taught them in school!!!! besides at least may natapos sina lotlot at monching di katulad ng mga bigatin na artista diyan like the revillas! ano natapos nila?? nabuntis yung isa, nakabuntis din yung isa, at nag-artista pa kahit walang k yung isa pa!

congratulations to janine and to her proud parents... at least meron na sa pamilya nila ang may bachelor's degree if i'm not mistaken. sana yung ibang mga kapatid niya makatapos rin. if she enters showbiz, okay lang yan. the best thing is meron siyang fall back in case hindi siya maging successful sa showbizlandia. goodluck and God bless!
