From impressing us with her songwriting and singing prowess, Jayda is now poised to also show off her acting chops through her first-ever starring role in the iWantTFC series “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/jayda-aljon-and-markus-headline-new-iwanttfc-original-series-teen-clash-19074">Teen Clash</a>.” Aside from being the unica hija of OPM icons Dingdong Avanzado and Jessa Zaragoza, only known is little about the fast-rising artist.Let’s get to know her deeper through this Teen Clash Extras episode, wherein she enthusiastically talks about herself and the series through responding to the 25 questions inspired by the lyrics or titles of songs, thus the game was called “QuesTunes.” Among the questions thrown at her pertained to her unforgettable memories in the past, her points-of-view and realizations with regards to a variety of stuff, as well as her remarkable experiences while filming the aforementioned series based in a popular Wattpad story.First off was the music festival that she’s been yearning to attend, as the staff sang “Head in the clouds / Got no weight on my shoulders” of Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea’s “Problem”. According to her, it would be the world-famous “Coachella” since her friends who were able to attend it told her that it’s some of the best experiences of their lives. But she doesn’t aspire to only go there, as she also dreams of performing there someday.She got to open up about the special friend or someone to whom she doesn’t talk to anymore, when Aiza Seguerra’s “Anong Nangyari Sa Ating Dalawa” was mentioned. She confessed, “Wow, that’s a loaded question. Of course, there has been a lot of those, especially throughout my time in showbiz and meeting different people. I think, that’s part of the job that you meet all types of people and you have all sorts of connections to them, not even necessarily romantic.”The 19-year-old singer-songwriter continued, “I think, it’s more of a case of we drifted apart and circumstances change and people change. And I think that’s part of life and tinatanggap ko ‘yon. And masasabi ko na wala akong pinagsisihan sa lahat ng mga connections at friendships na nabuo ko throughout the years. Even if they may no longer be in my life, I will always treasure them for what they were to me during those moments of my life.”For sure, a lot of us are able to relate with her as she shared how a certified home buddy she is. She loves being in the company of the people dear to her heart and makes sure that she still gets to bond with her parents and friends whenever she’s given the chance. Besides, she also disclosed how much she loves to reminisce about a lot of memories, especially in her teenage years when she was such a hopeless romantic. She said, “Those moments of feeling kind of euphoric and feeling loved or what I though love to be at that time. I would go back to those moments because those are some of the happiest moments of my life.”But if generally speaking, it would be her most favorite One Direction member Niall Horan’s concert in the Philippines in 2018, wherein she had the opportunity to not just see and meet him in the flesh, but to also perform as the front act.Jayda revealed that the last person who made her happy was her “Teen Clash” castmates, as they were laughing about a behind-the-scenes clip from the series.She commented, “I think, the great thing though about our cast is we all genuinely get along and walang halong showbiz ‘yon. We all have such great working chemistry and I already feel that we’re pretty much a family. We’ve only been filming for a little bit, but I already feel that. So, sila talaga ang nagpapasaya sa’kin, especially nowadays.”With regards to the one thing that she thought she couldn’t do in the series, as inspired by the “&#x27;Pagka&#x27;t sa &#x27;yo natagpuan / Ang pinagkait sa akin / Oh, at sa &#x27;yo naramdaman / Ang &#x27;di ko akalaing ipaglalaban ko” lyrics of Nadine Lustre and James Reid’s “Bahala Na,” she divulged that the whole experience has tested her in a lot of ways physically emotionally in terms of her capabilities as an up-and-coming actress.Jayda confessed that the reason why she didn’t plunge into acting early in her career is because she couldn’t imagine where to pull the feels that would be required due to lack of life experience. Thus, she’s thankful to their director Gino Santos and her castmates for helping her navigate through all sorts of emotions, which she considers it as “a great achievement” both as an individual and an artist.When asked about what she doesn’t want to lose in her life, which is based from Ogie Alcasid’s “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala,” she retorted that it would be her passion for everything that she does, may it be in music, entertainment, and making other people happy through her art. Even though she gets tired sometimes, which is really normal, she wishes that the fire in her to never get extinguished. She also related what her dad Dingdong has always reminded her, which is “The minute that it starts to feel like a job to you, that’s when you know that it’s over.”With everything that has happened to her in 2022, she said that it’s because of “Teen Clash” that her life has changed. She has learned a lot from her castmates and the whole team and crew with regards to being an actress and a person, and she would surely remember and treasure this experience. As they all poured out their entire hearts, souls, blood, sweat, and tears into this project, she dreams that the viewers are going to like the series every time she lays down in bed.While it had been a dream of hers to break into the same industry as her parents, she only made an attempt when she was already a teenager. She disclosed that since both her parents are in the industry, showbiz has been a part of her life ever since she was born. But she made the decision to follow their footsteps when she released her first-ever single at 14 years old. Meanwhile, she was 16 when her interest in acting got enkindled and she decided to undergo three workshop sessions under premiere acting director Ryan Carlos.She may have seem doing great, but she confessed that there are still aspects of her life that she wants to improve in order for her to become the person that she wants to be. Those are her talents in singing, acting, and anything that relates to the business, as well as her skills in songwriting and producing music.
