With three shows on her plate these days, Carmina Villarroel lets out a hearty laugh before stating she is in no hurry to go back to acting in a soap opera.

"May tinitingnan nang mga storylines, pero wala pang details. Okay lang, I'm not in a hurry!" she says.

The host of Amazing Cooking Kids met with members of the press last Saturday, July 2, at the 17th floor of GMA Network Center to talk about her reality cooking competition show.

Mina points out, "Siguro naiiba lang ang priority ko sa ngayon. Enjoy ako sa ganito, Amazing Cooking Kids, tapos nag-aaral pa ako ngayon.

"Alam ko kasi pag nag soap na naman ako, wala na naman akong buhay.

"Hindi ako against sa kahit na kanino, it's just yung oras talaga.

"Mas enjoy ko yung ganito na kahit I have three shows, medyo mas flexible, mas may oras ako sa pamilya ko, parang mas normal akong tao, at ang dami kong nagagawa.

"Nagagawa ko yung trabaho ko bilang artista, nag-aaral ako, kasi fulfillment yun kapag may ginagawa ka for yourself."

Recently, Mina took on the job of a mason for her GMA News TV show Day Off with co-host Pekto, something she enjoyed getting to do.

The actress-TV host is also part of the GMA-7 reality sitcom Pepito Manaloto.

Mina is also going to be busy for a project on the big screen under GMA Films.

She's set to play a "salbaheng nanay" on the horror flick The Road. She'll meet with Direk Yam Laranas this week and has already secured her shooting days.

However, she would rather keep mum about the details of the film as well as her character in it.

CARMINA'S FAMILY. Meanwhile, what can fans expect from her family, which is considered a favorite among advertisers for family-oriented commercials?

"If ever, I'm not saying na we are planning, pero if ever, yung nakikita ko is sitcom.
