Andi Eigenmann gets her big break as she headlines the upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye Agua Bendita. Much of the details of this new drama are still being kept under wraps, but as can be expected, Andi’s mother Jaclyn Jose is very much happy about her daughter’s career. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Jaclyn shared that Andi really wants to explore the world of showbiz. “Gusto niyang i-try. Kung anong opportunities ang meron para sa kanya. Gusto rin niyang umaarte. She likes to try everything, dancing, acting, hosting, modeling. Kung ano ang interest niya ine-encourage ko siya kasi alam kong magaling siya.”

Ever since she started in showbiz in the mid-‘80s, Jaclyn managed to make herself into one of the much-acclaimed actresses in the industry. Seeing her daughter about to make her first major step in showbiz, Jaclyn shared some of the important advice she gave Andi. “I always tell her not to aim for fame and fortune but aim for passion. Ang fame at fortune bigla biglang nawawala pero hindi ang passion. Ganun kasi ang ginawa ko kaya hindi ako disappointed sa nangyari sa career ko. I never aimed to be a superstar or a millionaire. Still I was able to get recognition not just here but also from abroad. Bonus na lang ‘yun. Nakikita rin niya sa akin ‘yung discipline. She’s never late. Walang attitude problem. Give your best in every little thing you do.”

The teaser trailer of Agua Bendita shows 18-year-old Andi as a beautiful and sexy young lady, and it won’t be a surprise if boys will line up to court her. But Jaclyn revealed that her daughter seems to have no interest in having a love life right now. “Ang totoo ako pa nga ang nage-encourage sa kanya na tumanggap ng suitors pero sa kanya intimidated ang mga boys. Kitang-kita mo kasi sa kanya ‘yung confidence. She’s very smart and articulate. She told me na kapag hindi niya like ‘yung guy sasabihin niya agad. Sabi ko nga sa kanya ‘wag ganun kasi dapat maraming siyang suitors. Like me, when I was in high school I had 12 suitors. Kilig din sa nanay na maraming nanliligaw sa anak. I want her to experience love because it’s inspiring. I want someone to help me love her. Buong buhay niya kasi ako lang ang nakasama niya. Pero ingat lang. Ang totoo masarap ang single life na matagal. I was 27 when I got pregnant so na-enjoy ko ang single life ko.”

While Andi prepares for her big role in Agua Bendita, Jaclyn is busy with her kontrabida role in Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo where one of her co-stars is Maxene Eigenmann, the half-sister of Andi. Maxene and Andi are both daughters of veteran actor Mark Gil. Jaclyn said she keeps a peaceful relationship with the other children of her ex-boyfriend Mark. “Lahat ng anak ni Mark okay sa akin. Magmula kay Gabby hanggang sa bunso basically sa akin lumaki. Lumalaki sila nung magkasama kami ni Mark. Sa kwarto pa sila natutulog nung mga bata sila. I love them and they all love me up to now. Pumupunta pa sila sa bahay minsan.”
