<p>As the popular fantaserye <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/darna"><strong>Darna</strong></a> enters its last two weeks, actress Jane De Leon admitted she is sad to say farewell to the iconic Pinoy superhero role that also became the biggest break in her showbiz career.</p><p>“It’s sad actually. Kasi alam ko na marami pa kaming maibubuga and marami pa kaming kuwento na ma-se-share sa lahat ng tao. Siyempre masaya din ako kasi alam kong worth it lahat ng pinaghirapan ng mga tao sa Darna. Especially yung mga tao sa likod ng camera. It’s been four years na nandito ako sa sitwasyon na ‘to and I’m glad na binigyan ako ng strength ni Lord na matapos ang show na ito,” she shared during the Darna Super mediacon event last January 30 inside the ABS-CBN compound.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCB3kUvrsB/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3561550.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="753" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/8/3/fresh-scoops/darna-star-jane-de-leon-ventures-into-vlogging-201609"><strong>READ: ‘Darna’ star Jane de Leon ventures into vlogging<br/></strong></a></div><p>The 24-year-old actress admitted that the show also helped change her life in many ways. She also talked about someone whom she considers as her real-life Darna.</p><p>“Simula nung naging Darna ako, una sa lahat, natulungan ko yung family ko. Kahit papaano, nakaahon kami. Guminhawa yung buhay namin, ganyan. And I met a lot of people sa buhay ko, kung sino talaga yung mga totoo. And sobrang bihira kasi talaga sa showbiz na makakilala ng mga totoong tao.</p><p>“Si Darna sa puso ko is my mom talaga. Kasi madami siyang sacrifices na ginawa for us and for my family. Nagpapasalamat ako kasi kung hindi dahil sa kanya, wala ako sa sitwasyon na ito,” she shared.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCCl3Tvp_O/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A3561577.899999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/1/jane-de-leon-reveals-she-tested-positive-for-dengue-and-uti"><strong>READ: Jane De Leon reveals she tested positive for dengue and UTI<br/></strong></a></div><p>As the series comes to an end, Jane admitted she would be open to doing another season or sequel if ever she was offered the role again.</p><p>“Puwede kasi actually open book naman siya eh. Yung story kasi ng <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/darna" id="isPasted"><strong>Darna</strong></a> continuous naman siya and ang maganda dun and if ever magkaroon, if ever baka movie or another series ulit. But of course it’s up to our bosses na. If ever, I’ll be glad and happy. Sana makasama ko pa rin sila if ever,” she said.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoCG3sfgNqn/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A3561596.5999999046%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/10/18/fresh-scoops/darna-in-thailand-jane-de-leons-bangkok-vacation-203114"><strong>READ: DARNA IN THAILAND: Jane De Leon’s Bangkok vacation<br/></strong></a></div><p>With initial reports online speculating that Regine Velasquez was supposed to make an appearance for the show’s finale, Jane clarified why the guesting was not able to push through.</p><p>“It was an not issue to begin with. Sadyang hindi lang talaga nagtugma yung schedule namin ni ate Reg. I think that’s very normal naman when it comes to lahat ng artists. Ginagawa niya yung rehearsal niya for her upcoming concert and at that time din kasi I had my endorsement shoots and shows. We tried to adjust our schedules pero sadyang hindi lang kami pinayagan. But guys please don’t forget to support ate Reg sa upcoming solo concert niya on February 17, 18, 24, and 25,” she explained.</p><p>Fans of her Jane’s onscreen love team with co-star Joshua Garcia would also be happy to know she is looking forward to the opportunity to work with him again on other projects.</p><p>“I think so kasi maliit lang naman din ang industry namin. I think pero ayoko lang magbitaw. For now, nag-po-promo kami and after that rest muna ako for the meantime. After that, marami namang nakaabang na projects,” she said.</p><p>After portraying the inspirational role model onscreen, Jane shared some advice for those who look up to her and her role.</p><p>“Malaking bagay talaga yung natulong ng show especially sa mga young ones. Ang advice ko lang sa kanila, just be yourself and accept yourself,” she added.</p>
