But last November 15, at the Artist Center Fans' Day in Enchanted Kingdom, she finally broke her silence. "Kung may problema ako sa isang tao, I'm not the type na ipapaalam ko pa sa lahat ng tao. Hindi po ako ganoon. Kaya lang dumating 'yung time that I had to, you know, speak up, speak out for those people na nasasaktan para sa akin—my family, my friends," banggit ni Jewel tungkol sa issue. During her period of silence about the issue, she reportedly went to the Holy Land in Jerusalem, which she said she had been planning to do all along. "Iba po talaga 'yung feeling [na] nalakaran ko 'yung mga nalakaran ni Jesus like the Via Dolorosa, 'yung Stages of the Cross, and then Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee," kuwento ni Jewel. Tinanong din siya tungkol sa rumors na may namamagitan sa kanya at kay Aljur Abrenica, ang kanyang Startstruck batchmate escort during the infamous incident at the new GMA building inaguration. "Si Aljur, kaibigan ko po, kaibigang mabuti, since nung Starstruck days pa," in-explain niya. Also about Bubbles Paraiso, the person who reportedly elbowed her, Jewel prefers not to comment anymore. "'Wag nalang po, 'wag na lang po siguro" ang kanyang pahayag. Pero nung tanungin siya if she would still work with Bubbles, Jewel still remains open to that possibility. "Of course, that's work, that's work. Kahit ano [pa], blessing po 'yun." Learn more and discuss what's up with Jewel Mische by logging on to the iGMAForums! Not yet a member? Register here!
