“Kasi 'di ba, kilala si Jennylyn talaga sa pagiging napakahusay sa rom-com. And first time ko, first-hand na makasama siya sa ganito.
“Siyempre sa TV ko lang nakikita at sa mga movies. Pero 'yung 'pag live niya na ginagawa 'yung mga tricks, e nagugulat kami.”
Dingdong also shared his work experience with Jennylyn on their first taping day.
“May isang take, tapos ginawa niya 'yung sa original, kung papaano 'yung ginawa nu'ng original.
“Nu'ng pangalawang take, mayroon siyang ibang ginawa. So nagulat kami, parang wow!
“'So may mga ganu'ng baon everytime. These things we appreciate kasi du'n nga lumalabas 'yung tinatawag na Pinoy flavor. In her case, she gave it a Jennylyn flavor which I think is very very much appropriate,” he added.
