Coleen Garcia talks about working with Cherryz Mendoza in 'Glory Jane'

March 10, 2016

Coleen Garcia returns to IBC-13 and started out as a guest on the Philippine adaptation of Koreand drama series Glory Jane, but the actress happily agreed to be a supporting role on the pre-primetime series. During her solo press con last March 2, Coleen shared that doing drama is a good challenge for her. “Iba yung feeling kapag teleserye. Umuuwi ka sa bahay ng masaya, wala kang problema, hindi ka umiiyak. Sa drama kasi kahit masaya ka kailangan malungkot ka. ‘Ay, ‘di ako pwedeng masyado malikot kasi marami akong light-hearted and study scenes. Dito sa Glory Jane, meron akong freedom na tumawa buong araw at magbigay ng ligaya. Yun ang na-a-appreciate ko.”

Coleen further shared that she felt like a princess with the way her co-stars Cherryz Mendoza and Rico dela Paz are treating her on the set. Coleen worked with Cherryz for a primetime soap on another network.

“Kasi si Ate Jane, siya yung best friend si Jane kung ang eskwela para maaral sayo. So, pagdating ko sa estudyante ako. Tapos pagtingin ko kay Rico parang naimpluwensiyahan na siya ang mga college student. Siya na rin sa bahay, si Jane maging aspiring student sa high school, si Sunshine Cruz at Christian Vasquez maging opisina sa officemate.

And this time, Coleen is playing Cherryz Mendoza's best friend in the story. Asked how she feels about being paired with the singer/recording artist of Secarats. Cherryz cheerfully replied, “Napakagaling niyang 'The Mall Princess'. Dapat meron may sitcom Abra Gayuma at tapos nung gagawin na namin yung superserye Voltron Man, si AJ Muhlach's love interets (AJ is now a Kapatid thru TV5). Ar ngayon, nung gagawin na namin yung Glory Jane, naisip namin na first time pala namin, si Coleen ay makakapunta sa college, kasama si Rico dela Paz, Kristofer Martin at Arvic Tan. Tingin naman ng karamihan may chemistry kayo so masaya.”

Aside from the story on the set, Coleen is comfortable with her character Jasmine Ortega, who has been a college student and Jane's best friend.

Although she’s still working on her drama, Coleen’s excited with her best friend Coleen Garcia in Glory Jane.

“Si At Jane ay magaaral pa rin sa eskwela kung sa estudyante at may school uniforms, may best friend nina Keith Cruz at Denise Canlas, at na naman si Hiro Volante, Justin Ward at si Aries Ace Espanola.
