Kapuri-puri, hindi matatawaran. Bihira ngumiti kasi lagi nag-iinternalize, mula sa stage hanggang sa paglabas. Noong time na &#x27;yun ha, hindi mo makausap, seryoso. Minsan nakikita ko bumubulong-bulong, mine-memorize ang linya, nagre-refresh,” he said in an interview in Quezon City on Friday. </p><p>&quot;Kuhang-kuha niya lagi ang role niya. Siyang-siya ang role niya. Tinanong niya ako as a writer, ano ba kwento na &#x27;to… Saan ko hinango, ano nag-inspire sa akin,&quot; he added.</p><p>According to Papa, Jose portrayed the wife of a rebel in the 1986 play, which was directed by Joel Lamangan. </p><p>She starred alongside Ma. Isabel Lopez and Lala Montelibano. Daniel Fernando and Ricky Hora were also part of the cast.</p><p>&quot;Talagang lumutang si Jane. Ang sipag. Sa workshop pa lang makita mo seryoso, masipag, matalino,&quot; Papa said. </p><p>The playwright shared he saw how Jose spent long hours hard at work to hone her skills.</p><p>&quot;Ang sipag ni Jane. Doon lang sa rehearsals namin nakikita ko siya halos isang araw wino-workshop siya ni Joel Lamangan. At kahit aalis si Joel, pinagpapatuloy niya. Masipag siya mag-aral ng role at nagtatanong si Jane,&quot; he recalled.</p><p>While it was Jose&#x27;s looks that may have initially captured one&#x27;s attention, Papa emphasized that it was her equally captivating attitude and personality that truly made a lasting impression.</p><p>&quot;Maganda si Jane, maganda ugali, maganda pakikitungo, maganda looks. Jaclyn Jose na iyan,&quot; he said.</p>
