LOOK: Jennylyn Mercado is crazy, sexy, and cool on the cover of a newspaper supplement

By MICHELLE CALIGAN

Kapuso leading lady Jennylyn Mercado is proving yet again why she deserves the Ultimate Star title as she graces the cover of Philippine Star Supreme today, June 3.

"As Jennlyn Mercado makes her primetime TV comeback with the Filipino adaptation of hit K-Drama My Love From The Star, Supreme finds out why the "Ultimate Star" is not some empty showbiz title for this phenomenal woman," says the caption.

The My Love From The Star actress showed her crazy, sexy, and cool sides in the cover story written by Irish Christianne Dizon.

Irish wrote, "[She's] not the most followed star on Instagram. She doesn't have hordes of rabid fans who will bash anyone who criticizes her—however valid the criticism—'til Kingdom come. Her endorsements number 7—paltry compared to those who earn millions multiplied by 20. If we go by these modern metrics—social media followers, fan base, and brand ambassadorship—the title "Ultimate Star" doesn't make sense attached to this actress' name. But thanks to a serendipitous trip to a basement bookstore, thanks to three back issues of FHM, Cosmopolitan, and Good Housekeeping, and thanks to insights from the editors of those titles, we realized ULTIMATE—the best or most extreme of its kind—is the perfect label for someone who has defied the often-merciless laws of life and showbiz again and again."
