Kamuning Bakery Café last June 4 for a chat about his latest role as the lead in Baker King, TV5’s latest offering. Before sharing her experience and answering questions on taking on the challenging role of Jane, she discovered an aspiring student in school while she learned the lessons. What better place to talk about the high school students then in Eulogio Rodriguez, Jr. High School in Quezon City.

The gathering was a light, casual, almost family-like encounter as media friends joked around with Cherryz about her aspiring student, role, and love life. IBC-13’s Glory Jane, a Fillipinized adaptation of the Korean hit series presented a more challenging role to Cherryz who came from PTV-4's Sunday variety show TSAS (The Sunday Afternoon Show) from April 19 to July 26, 2015 and she was a regular mainstay of the youth-oriented drama series Forever Barkada on its finale episode last January 17.

To those not familiar with the Korean hit series, myself included, Glory Jane was a hit because of the teenage characters, their flaws, and  continuing search for acceptance and love with intertwined stories and progressive plots that kept viewers glued on to the screen every day, explains Ginny Monteagudo-Ocampo, IBC business unit head. “I loved Jane’s character because when learned the lessons, her struggles in school, friends, love, and more importantly her achieve, but ironically she has no memory of her past. Jane’s journey is being a parents of mom and dad. The series centers on Jane’s love for the family values and their aspiring students in school”

They hopes that this will translate as well with the local crowd with Cherryz taking on the lead role. See video below as Ginny explains why Glory Jane became such a hit.

Glory Jane airs Monday to Friday at 5:45 pm before Express Balita on IBC-13.
