The veteran actress, a Kapuso for 20 years, has yet to make plans to bolt the studio that built her up. At the moment, right this minute as we speak to her, Jennylyn Mercado considers herself a freelancer. She just ended her long-term contract with GMA, her home studio.

The veteran actress, a Kapuso for 20 years, has yet to make plans to bolt the studio that built her up. “It’s now up to my managers to decide my future,” she told a media conference hosted by Ms. Rhea Anicoche-Tan of Beautederm.

Jenn is the latest endorser of the beauty company celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. She is the face of Cristaux Retinol (anti-aging), Cristaux Vitamin C (brightening), and Cristaux Hydra-Beauty (anti-acne). Jennylyn also said she has no standing offer from ABS-CBN, although she’s open to accepting projects from all producers.

She also announced that she and her husband, Dennis Trillo, have opened their own production company, Brightburn. According to Ms. Rhea, character is a priority when choosing an endorser.

She finds Jennylyn simple and too down to earth. “She comes bareface, eats with my staff, a cowboy.” At the Beautederm mediacon held at Solaire North, Jennylyn proudly admitted she’s already 37, to which Rhea Tan, 43 but looking 34, said aging is a blessing.

“I can’t help it. I came from a reality show (Starstruck). We’re used to telling the truth,” she said.

The veteran actress added she may have sensitive skin, yet it won’t stop her from engagi.
