In the case of Jennica Garcia and her mom, Jean Garcia, the mirror couldn’t be clearer. Spectators have long pointed out how Jennica inherited her mom’s beauty, strength, and acting brilliance. </p><p>But in a world that often compares her to her mom, Jennica has worked hard to build her own name, while still embracing the fact that, yes, she’s Jean&#x27;s daughter through and through. Their relationship has always been close, but it’s safe to say it’s grown even stronger now that they’re both navigating life as single moms.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABYpKU3K6rQEe2t-"></script> </div><p>So close, in fact, that Jennica has practically memorized Jean’s every move. Case in point: how naturally she delivered when asked to mimic her mom in this edition of &quot;Gayahin Mo Mama Mo!&quot;</p><p>Since joining ABS-CBN and starring in &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen/articles-news/be-mesmerized-by-jennica-garcia-superb-acting-in-dirty-linen-19929" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Dirty Linen</u></strong></a>,&quot; Jennica has showcased her chameleon acting skills, seamlessly switching from one persona to another on screen. But nothing prepared us for how fast she transformed when asked to imitate her mom. From the facial expressions to Jean’s signature crisp delivery, Jennica channeled her &#x27;sosyal&#x27; way of scolding, especially the kind that comes out when Jean disapproves of her outfit choices.</p><p>&quot;Honey, ano ba &#x27;yang suot mo? Hindi nman nakaka-star. Sana nag-ayos ka naman!&quot; she started, nailing the refined &#x27;taray&#x27; tone. She threw in a pretend line to their nanny, saying, “Yaya, pakikuha &#x27;yung damit pagpapalitin ko si Jennica!&quot; And then, all said with that classy but savage flair: &quot;Mukha ka na namang manang!&quot;</p><p>Jean-uine copy, indeed! </p><p>Jennica shared that she knows her mom’s &#x27;linyahan&#x27; by heart—as in, she can recite them word-for-word even if she&#x27;s in another room. And while Jean is known for her kontrabida roles, Jennica was never really afraid of her mom. But of course, she knows it’s time to behave once she hears her full name being called—“Jennica.” </p>
