<p>With her doll-like splendor, astounding versatility and acting chops, pleasant personality, and impressive wit and eloquence, there’s definitely no wonder that a lot of people in and out of showbiz genuinely admire Janine Gutierrez.</p><p>Let’s revisit her notable acting performances to date as a Kapamilya in this edition of Timelist!</p><p>Despite coming from one of the biggest and most influential clans in the local entertainment scene, she has amazingly managed to stay out of her famous loved ones’ shadows and create a mark of her own. Unlike her contemporaries who started their showbiz careers in their childhood and teenage years, Janine decided to begin hers after graduating from college in 2011. She worked under GMA for around a decade until she made the bold and surprising decision to move to ABS-CBN in 2021.</p><p>She made her Kapamilya debut through her appearances on <u>“<strong><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/asap" target="_blank"><em>ASAP</em></a>”</strong></u> and <u>“</u><strong><u><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime" target="_blank"><em>It’s Showtime</em></a></u></strong><u>,”</u> then got to show avid ABS-CBN viewers her acting prowess via the “Quarantine Pass” episode of the now-defunct long-running drama anthology <u>“<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/maalaalamokaya" target="_blank"><em><strong>Maalaala Mo Kaya</strong></em></a>.”</u> She was paired with Kapamilya heartthrob JM de Guzman, as they told the love story of real-life couple Zaldy and Jex, whose romance bloomed during the lockdown. For sure, many were able to relate with her character who eventually found the courage to express her feelings to the person she loves.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="480" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ttOJYcKKB0c" title="Jex falls in love with Zaldy | MMK" width="853"></iframe></div><p>We went on to adore Janine even more with her portrayal of Camille Miraflor in her first-ever Kapamilya teleserye stint, “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/marryme2021" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Marry Me, Marry You</u></strong></em></a>,” which ran from 2021 to 2022. She headlined it alongside Paulo Avelino, who played the role of her boyfriend-turned-husband, Andrei Legaspi. Their characters showed the typical experiences and traditional expectations that Filipino couples like them usually have to navigate, which involve helping one another resolve their issues and putting into consideration their family and friends.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="480" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdoPR-KdUyA" title="Elvie tries to talk to Andrei and Camille about their problem | Marry Me, Marry You" width="853"></iframe></div><p>Janine went on to further exhibit her guts as an individual and actress when she did the iWantTFC Original series “<strong>Sleep With Me”</strong> in 2022, with her then fellow Kapamilya newbie Lovi Poe playing her love interest.
