Jolina Magdangal admits being hesitant to work with Claudine Barretto
MANILA – In an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal, actress Jolina Magdangal-Escueta admitted being hesitant to work on another project with co-star Claudine Barretto.
Jolina recalled last working with Claudine in GMA’s teleserye “Iglot,” which only lasted for three months.
“Naputol ‘yung show namin… Nagkaroon ako ng hesitation to work with her kasi baka may problema siya or noong nagkaroon siya ng problema, natapos agad ‘yung show,” she said in a press conference.
(Our show got cut off… I started to have hesitation to work with her because she may have another problem just like the last time when she also had a problem, our show got cut off.)
Jolina stated that she was not used to having her show cut off.
“Hindi kasi ako sanay sa ganoon e… Ikakasal ako noong time na ‘yun so ang dami-dami kong iniisip,” she said.
(I’m just not use to it… I was about to get married that time so I was thinking of a lot of things.)
“Ang thinking ko, professional tayong lahat. Anuman ang problema natin, meron tayong trabaho,” she added.
(What I was thinking was that we were all professionals. Whatever our problem may be, we had a job to do.
)
Jolina, however, pointed out that she was happy with Claudine returning to the industry.
“Happy ako, hindi lang na she’s back, kundi yung nangyayari sa kanya ngayon na nararamdaman ko at nakikita ko sa pictures, masaya siya,” she said.
(I’m happy, not only because she’d back, but because of what’s happening to her right now. I can feel and see in pictures that she’s happy.)
