Kapamilya actress Jane De Leon reveals her back-up projects and her plans of exploring the international scene in case ‘Darna’ did not come.
At the online mediacon for FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano last Friday (January 5), Jane was asked about her endeavors if ever the ‘Darna’ role was not given to her.
The actress then revealed that there were back-up projects aligned for her. She was also planning to explore the international stage.
“Marami naman, kasi sa akin ‘di naman ako namimili na role – maliit man yan o malaki. Okay naman po sa akin ‘yon.
“At siguro, magveventure naman po ako international if ever hindi.”
Before flying this 2021, Jane and the production team of ‘Darna’ faced a lot of delays.
The ‘Darna’ movie was deferred considering the impact of COVID-19 on cinemas and the movie industry. Delays were also brought upon by the non-renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise.
However, the actress said that she did not lose hope for the project.
“Noong time na ‘yon sobrang positive lang po ako and sinabi ko po sa kanila na ‘sige po, okay lang naman po sa akin. May mga araw naman po yata na binibigyan tayo ng blessing ni lord, ‘di po natin alam na baka bumalik po ulit ang ABS-CBN.”
Her bosses were shocked by her positive reaction despite the bad news.
“Sinabi ko na wag po kame mawawalan ng pag-asa, kahit po dun sa proyekto na binigay sa akin, ‘di po ako nawalan ng pag-asa,” she said.
Fortunately, during the Star Magic contract signing last December, ABS-CBN chief operating officer Cory Vidanes announced that ‘Darna‘ will finally push through this 2021 as a TV series, and Jane will still play the lead role.
“I’m really happy parin po at least natuloy, syempre may mga fans din po na mga bata, yun yung iniisip ko talaga. Kaya yon sobrang excited po ako na ishare yun sakanila at ipalabas yung bagong Darna nga po na modern.”
Meanwhile, Jane will also join one of the longest-running TV series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”. She will play Pol. Cap. Natalia Mante.
