<p>Starting off the year on a high note after a happy holiday season, Jessy Mendiola admitted that she really enjoyed spending time with her family last December. The 32-year-old celebrity mom talked to the press after attending a branch opening of a jewelry shop in Las Piñas last January 18.</p><p>“It was good. Kasama ko buong pamilya and sobrang saya lang. From Christmas to New Year’s celebration and birthday din ni tito Ralph (Recto), magkakasama kaming lahat so happy naman. Ngayon back to work na talaga. Medyo busy din talaga si Luis din ngayon,” she shared during the opening of Manila Diamond Studio in Evia Lifestyle Center, Las Piñas.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DE9pqvmS-9c/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A1017683.8000000119%2C%22ls%22%3A173476.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A173992%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="717" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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://www.abs-cbn.com/starmagic/articles-news/jessy-ready-for-new-roles-and-new-projects-22728" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Jessy, ready for new roles and new projects</u></strong></a></div><p>Ever since her husband Luis Manzano officially filed his certificate of candidacy for public office last October, the couple has been busy preparing for an extra busy year ahead.</p><p>“Ay wala nang practice-practice, ganap na ngayon, ginagawa na talaga,” she said. “I don’t think pina-practice pa ‘yun kasi as long as you are genuine, as long as nakakasama mo sila lagi, masasanay ka talaga eh. And natutuwa din naman ako to see a different world. Umiikot na naman na kami. Even last year pumupunta din kami mas lalo na nung bagyong Kristine, talagang nagpang-abot kami ng tulong. Si Luis day and night talagang he was working so hard to help his kababayans in Batangas.”</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DE9p8VeSooH/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A978644.8000000119%2C%22ls%22%3A173476.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A173992%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="748" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" 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://www.abs-cbn.com/2021/11/25/fresh-scoops/jessy-mendiola-reveals-baby-plans-with-luis-197065" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Jessy Mendiola reveals baby plans with Luis Manzano, puts acting career on hold</u></strong></a></div><p>Jessy admitted that she and Luis shared a very emotional moment before he finalized his plans to enter politics, knowing that it would have a direct effect on their family and how they were doing things now. </p><p>“Before talaga siya nag-file ng candidacy, nagkaiyakan pa talaga kami,” she recalled. “ Kasi sabi ko, ‘Sure ka na ba talaga na gusto mo?’ And ako din, I was a bit hesitant kasi I knew na ibang mundo ito eh.
