Beyond the excitement of the project, the actress shared how Jericho’s unwavering support has played a significant role in helping her grow more confident in her craft. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/4/13/exclusive-janine-gutierrez-says-joining-star-magic-is-in-perfect-time-and-perfect-opportunity-1231" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Janine Gutierrez says joining Star Magic is in ‘perfect time and perfect opportunity</strong></a></div><p>Speaking exclusively with <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong></a>, Janine revealed that her role in the series will showcase a more daring side of her as an actress. The project also marks a reunion for the couple following their previous collaboration in<em> Lavender Fields,</em> but this time, the experience feels entirely different. </p><p>“Exciting kase sobrang ibang-iba siya na kwento sa <em>Lavender Fields</em> and I’m so happy to be given another opportunity to work with him sa iba naman kwento and iba namang team. It’s also my first time working with Star Creatives and patuloy lang talaga akong nagpapasalamat sa mga opportunities na dumadating. Parang even if ilang years na rin ako dito sa ABS-CBN, parang palaging may something new and something better and something bigger and part na rin yung pagsali ko sa Star Magic.” </p><p>Now more open about their relationship, Janine admitted that working together has become more natural, allowing them to connect more deeply in their scenes. She also expressed excitement about collaborating with director Mae Cruz-Alviar and being welcomed into a team that Jericho has long been familiar with. </p><p>“We know each other better now so parang walang awkwardness pagdating sa mga eksena. Yung team niya at yung team ko sa set parang isang buong pamilya na rin. He’s worked with Star Creatives din [mula sa]<em> Pangako Sa’Yo</em> days pa lang so excited ako to be part of a family na matagal na niya talagang kakilala and ka work.” </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXs6oaAFL81/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A7150667.900000095%2C%22ls%22%3A57167.200000047684%2C%22le%22%3A57373.799999952316%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1068" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>“Sobrang nakakatuwa na ma-experience ko din silang makatrabaho, especially now after all those years and sobrang galing nila and dami nilang experience so so much for me to learn from them,” she added.  </p><p>Off camera, Janine shared that their relationship goes beyond romance, as they constantly exchange insights about their work. She highlighted how Jericho, who will be celebrating three decades in the industry this year, has become a source of guidance and inspiration for her. </p><p>“Well, ako, sobrang dami kong natututunan sa kanya kasi this is his 30th year na. Magce-celebrate siya ng 30th year this year so ang dami niyang knowledge pagdating sa set, pagdating sa collaborating with the team. Sobrang professional niya, sobrang down-to-earth, sobrang friendly sa lahat ng tao. As in, super. So parang dahil sa kanya, pakiramdam ko, mas naging open din ako at komportable na maging myself sa kahit saan man.” </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXOy_mxjNWm/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A7151522.799999952%2C%22ls%22%3A57167.200000047684%2C%22le%22%3A57373.799999952316%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1023" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>More than just professional advice, Janine credited Jericho for helping her overcome self-doubt and embrace her strengths as an actress.
