Wilma Doesnt expressed admiration for Jillian Ward's professionalism and acting prowess, recalling her experience working with the young actress during a recent interview with GMANetwork.com.

Model, actress, and entrepreneur Wilma Doesnt can attest to the caliber of talent that Jillian Ward possesses as an actress.

GMANetwork.com interviewed Wilma during the event launching her as the newest celebrity endorser of leading motorcycle taxi app Move It, held at Baked Studios in Makati City on January 29.

Wilma previously worked with the Star of the New Gen in the highly successful afternoon soap Abot-Kamay na Pangarap, which aired for two years before concluding in October 2024. Jillian, meanwhile, currently stars as the lead actress in the GMA Prime series Never Say Die, which premieres on February 2, 2026, at 8:55 p.m.

The upcoming action-drama series also features three leading men—David Licauco, Kim Ji Soo, and Raheel Bhyria.

Recalling her experience working with Jillian, Wilma shared her admiration for the young actress's professionalism.

“Si Jillian, ang batang professional. At tsaka batang aktres 'yun. I can attest—'pag sinasabing crying scene, iinom lang siya ng water. Ako hindi pa nag-uumpisa, umiiyak na siya. Professional siya, hindi siya nali-late. And she is very sweet and beautiful—one of the most beautiful faces in show business,” Wilma told GMANetwork.com.

When asked if she is open to working with Jillian again, Wilma said she would love to collaborate with the Sparkle actress in a telefantasya series.

The Pinay supermodel joked, “Work sana kami dalawa. Ano ba ang fear ng batang 'yan? Water? Siguro kami na ang next Dyesebel.”

Wilma is also ending the first month of 2026 on a high note after being named the newest celebrity ambassador of Move It.

In an interview, the actress emphasized that she does not take endorsement projects lightly and made sure to personally try the service before agreeing to the partnership.

“Mahirap mag-endorse ng bagay na hindi mo alam. Tinry ko muna siya. Nag-Move It ako papuntang Makati, and okay siya. Kaya ako pumayag,” Wilma said.

She added that she can confidently vouch for the motorcycle taxi app's safety and reliability.

“I can guarantee na safe kayo—malinis, maayos, at mura. Maaasahan talaga sila.”
