Janine Gutierrez, who comes from a family that’s been in show business for a long time now, shares they are happy that it’s her time to shine via the new GMA afternoon prime “Villa Quintana.”

“Palagi lang po nilang pinapaalala sa akin na do your best, wag mo sayangin yung opportunity… kasi alam ko naman po na once in a lifetime po ito eh so nararamdaman ko po na dapat talaga galingan,” she told Bulletin Entertainment at the press launch of “Villa Quinatana” recently.

The daughter of celebrities Lotlot de Leon and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez was asked if she feels pressured being considered by many as part of showbiz royalty. The 24-year-old actress quipped, “Opo, mejo mataas po yung expectation sa akin.”

She nonetheless thinks that “ginagamit ko nalang yun na inspirasyon na talagang galingan, na kailangan pagbutihin ko po talaga kasi dala ko yung pangalan na yun eh.”

Beauty Queen Shoo-in

Even if she has classic mestiza looks as well as the height and the intellect of a potential beauty queen, Janine considers showbiz her priority. She doesn’t even have plans of joining a pageant any time soon.

“Actually pinu-push nila ako na ‘uy sumali ka,’ ganon. Medyo nagulat ako nung nagsimula akong tanungin kung sasali ba ako kasi hindi ko po nakita sa sarili ko na parang pwede pala sa ganun…”

New Series

“Villa Quintana” is a heartwarming love story that became a phenomenal hit series in the mid ‘90s. People turn sentimental remembering the love between Isagani (now played by Elmo Magalona) and Lynette (Janine), first portrayed by Kempee de Leon and Donna Cruz, respectively.
