Jessy Mendiola posted on her Instagram that she’s excited about her upcoming show and that viewers should look out for it.
It has been rumored that she will be doing a fitness program on TV5, tagged as Kapatid network.
At a press conference last September 24, Jessy cleared up circulating rumors about her transfer to a rival network.
She confirmed that ‘Sandugo’ was the reason she decided to stop her plans to transfer networks. Sandugo was a Kapamilya drama series, starring Ejay Falcon and Aljur Abrenica. She played the role of Melissa “Melai” Pamintuan.
“Parang I think at this point po gusto ko nang gumawa ng mga roles na hindi ko pa nagagawa and it’s very exciting to be honest. Gumawa ng role na hindi mo pa nararanasan, hindi mo pa napapakita,” she said.
She wanted to explore her range as an artist and try new roles.
“Nagpaalam ako nang maayos. And sila Mr. M [Johnny Manahan], Tita Mariole [Alberto], they were very understanding. Sabi nila sa akin, ‘Dadating talaga sa point na ganyan, e.’ Kasi, marami din naman talagang artista na nag-try na mag-explore sa ibang bagay. So, pinayagan nila ako. Walang struggle or whatever,” she said.
Jessy has the same manager, June Rufino, as her longtime boyfriend, Luis Manzano.
