Jennylyn Mercado remained a Kapuso
Rumor has it that actress Jennylyn Mercado will renew her contract with GMA Network anytime soon.
Jennylyn is one of the Kapuso homegrown talents. She started her showbiz career through GMA’s reality talent search StarStruck and became the first Ultimate Female Survivor.
From that, she was given various projects that boosted her career as an actress. She also ventured into music and did many movies.
Last March, it was rumored that Jennylyn Mercado was negotiating with ABS-CBN. Allegedly, she was set to transfer to the Kapamilya network after her contract with GMA ended. This was debunked by the source from the Kapamilya network. It was said that ABS-CBN has no offer to Jennylyn.
However, in an interview last July, the actress directly said that there was no offer to her coming from other networks. At that time, she has not yet renewed her contract with the Kapuso network.
In a recent article by entertainment writer Salve Asis in Pilipino Star Ngayon, she shared that it was rumored that finally, Jennylyn will sign a new contract with GMA Network.
Asis said that TV5 or the Kapatid network has no offer also to the actress so, she will still be under the Kapuso network.
“Wala rin naman daw plano ang TV5 na kunin siya, at iwas na magamit pa bilang leverage sa nego ng contract tulad ng ginagawa ng ibang artista, talagang forced to sign up na sa GMA ulit si Jen,” the entertainment writer said.
Then, Asis raised a question. She asked why it took quite a long time for Jennylyn Mercado to renew her contract with GMA and if it was true that she wished to transfer to other networks. The showbiz writer added that Jennylyn is the only one who could answer this perhaps soon.
