Jennylyn shared, “Ayaw na lang namin [cast] isipin ‘yun ‘eh gusto na lang namin mag-enjoy. Kasi nag-enjoy din naman kami habang ginagawa namin ‘yung pelikula at confident naman kami lahat. Masarap sa pakiramdam na confident ‘yung director, producer, at mga artista kasi na-a-absorb mo rin ‘yung energy.”
The actress also clarified that she was not also concerned about the order of billing between her and co-actress Ai-Ai.
“Hindi naman importante ‘yun. Wala naman pong problema,” she stated.
Jennylyn then invited everyone to support MMFF films which will premiere on Christmas Day, December 25.
