Patrick Garcia stops talking about Jennylyn Mercado

May 29, 2008

ON the set of “Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita” where he plays Lawrence, an undercover agent who is JC de Vera’s rival over the love of Yasmien Kurdi, Patrick Garcia says he doesn’t like to talk or make any comment about Jennylyn Mercado anymore.

“I do care about our baby, but each time I say something, parang minamasama pa so I’d rather not talk at all na lang,” he says. “I tried my best to get in touch with her pero siya na ang may ayaw. I’m just praying that in due time, we can still be friends for the sake of the baby.”

He’s determined to go to the States and study filmmaking in New York. “I won’t be acting forever so I want to have formal training on how to work behind the camera.”

In “Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita,” he has finally professed his love for Yasmien as Salve after JC as Derek tried to make her believe that he doesn’t love her anymore. As a cop, he’s also slowly laying the grounds to expose the jueteng operations of the Perantes family. Because of this, their capitalist allies are starting to doubt Derek’s capability in running their operations. Paolo Contis as Tyrone takes advantage of this and tells Jay Aquitania as Juno to get rid of Derek.

DIANA’S MOST TALKED-ABOUT SCENE

DIANA Zubiri is thankful that even before “Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita” has ended, she’s already starting to tape her new assignment from GMA-7, the remake of Danny Zialcita’s “Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan.” “I will play the role originally played by Miss Hilda Koronel in the movie,” she says. ‘Siyempre, kabado ako as I saw the movie on DVD at talagang ang galing-galing niya. Sunshine Dizon will be playing naman the role of Miss Vilma Santos at si Marvin Agustin ang gaganap sa role ni Mr. Dindo Fernando. This is the third soap namin ni Marvin after ‘Asian Treasures’ and ‘Babangon’, pero ngayon pa lang kami gaganap bilang mag-asawa. Happy naman ako to work with Sunshine again kasi after we played sisters with Iza Calzado and Karylle in ‘Encantadia’, naging best of friends na talaga kaming apat.”

She says she will miss her role as Julie in “Babangon Ako.” “It’s a difficult role kasi may pagka-lukring ako rito after I was raped by Paolo Contis at ngayon, naghihiganti ako kay Dina Bonnevie dahil sa ginawa nila sa akin at kay Ian de Leon, who plays my true love in the story. I’ll be the one to reveal to Ms. D the truth that JC de Vera is not really her son but that of her enemy, Glydel Mercado.”

Is it true she and Ian de Leon really went steady? “No. Mabait siya at na ging very close lang kami while doing ‘Zaido’ and people concluded na kami na nga when we’re just good friends.”

There’s a scene in “Babangon” where she cut off Paolo Contis’ manhood for raping her. “Ay naku, that’s one of the most talked-about scenes in the show. Kahit saan ako magpunta, people ask me kung malaki raw ba o maliit. I tell them wala na akong itinira after putulin ko.”
