Jennylyn’s note to self

Jennylyn Mercado

What advice would Jennylyn Mercado give herself after finding success in show biz?

“I always tell myself to stay strong despite the challenges in life,” she told the Inquirer. “I’d say, ‘Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang pagiging mabuting ina at mabait na tao,’ because that’s the simplest thing you can do for the people you love. People remember the good things we do, so we shouldn’t let our troubles change who we are. What for?

“After all, I wouldn’t be where I am now if I didn’t go through the painful and difficult experiences in my life.” —RITO ASILO
