Jane Oineza admitted that she received offers from other TV networks, but she chose to stay with ABS-CBN.
During the media conference for her latest Kapamilya-Kapatid teleserye ‘Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,’ the actress was asked if she received any offers from other networks.
“Meron naman po. Pero mas ano po kasi ako sa ABS-CBN, eh, kasi dito na rin po ako lumaki. Family ko na rin po ang ABS-CBN, so hindi ko naisip o na-consider na iwan sila,” Oineza shared.
Her loyalty to her home network paid off, as after 22 years, she finally got the opportunity to lead her own series ‘Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,’ the first collaboration between ABS-CBN and TV5.
Jane expressed her overwhelming joy and gratitude that her long wait and patience have finally been rewarded.
“After PBB (Pinoy Big Brother) po kasi nagkaroon ako ng ‘Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita’ (2015). Pero ayun po kasi, mas topbilled by Ms. Vina Morales and may apat pa po akong kasama. So, ito po talaga (Nag-aapoy na Damdamin) ‘yung maituturing ko na first lead teleserye ko. Ako, sobrang saya lang po, sobrang kilig, nakakatuwa, dahil alam ko na pinaghirapan ko ito. Alam ko na hinintay ko rin naman po ito. Sobra kong happy kasi alam ko naman na hindi rin naman siya overnight success and I also put my hard work in this. I am just really happy na all of these are happening now,” she said.
Despite the long wait, Jane mentioned that she never questioned or doubted ABS-CBN.
“Siguro more on sa sarili ko, napapatanong ako na, ano pa ba ‘yung kailangan kong i-prove, ano pa ‘yung kailangan kong baguhin, kailangan kong idagdag o ibawas sa sarili ko, ano pa ‘yung kailangan? Talagang sinasabi ko lang na ‘be patient’ kahit mahirap. Kasi may mga time na napapaisip ako na ‘huwag na lang siguro.’ Pero kasi, ito talaga ‘yung gustung-gusto kong gawin, eh. Nag-i-enjoy talaga ako sa pag-arte, sa craft na ito, kaya hindi mahirap sa akin maghintay,” she added.
‘Nag-aapoy na Damdamin’ will premiere on July 25 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, TFC, A2Z, and TV5. Oineza is joined in the series by JC de Vera, Ria Atayde, and Tony Labrusca.
