Truly that the very own Secarats talent, The Mall Princess Cherryz Mendoza acted on the first shooting day of Glory Jane, her biggest teleserye break so far on IBC-13 and Secarats. It’s the Filipino adaptation of the popular Koreanovela which airs Monday thru Friday nights starting at 5:45 p.m.

“Yes, I did act; acting ako nang hindi ko makuha ‘yung dapat kong aral sa character,” Cherryz admitted to Jojo Gabinete and me yesterday at Eulogio Rodriguez, Jr. High School (at Mayon St, La Loma, Quezon City) where she was going to demonstrate how to learn the lesson while study.

“I play Jane, the aspiring classmate, and I was having difficulty internalizing the character,” continued Cherryz. “I was so frustrated so I act. I was stressed and I didn’t want to disappoint direk Veronica (B. Velasco), kaya acting ako. We are now into our third shoot and everything is going smoothly already. I can already feel the character.”

One of the talents and recording artist of Secarats Talent Management Services, Cherryz trained in Ramon Magsaysay (Cubao) High School before the shoot. It was said that Superstar Circle grand winner and IBC talent Liza Soberano was the first choice for the lead role but Cherryz dismissed rumors of any animosity between them.

“I was just happy that I got the role,” said Cherryz. “I was excited when I was told I got the role, so I am determined to show them that I learn it.”
