Pinky Amador on Jillian Ward’s work ethic: ‘I’ve never seen her complain’

Pinky Amador couldn’t help but praise her “Abot Kamay na Pangarap” co-star, Jillian Ward, for her work ethic!

On Wednesday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Pinky was asked how it feels to work with the young star.

“I love working with her,” the seasoned actress began. “Magaling na umarte, tapos mabait pang tao, tapos ang ganda ng work ethic nya.”

“For me kasi mas importante work ethic than just talent kasi talent, everybody has talent,” she continued.

Pinky added that in the span of one year of working with Jillian, not once did she hear her complain. “Yung work ethic nung batang 'yon, matagal ko na 'tong sinasabi, wala akong masabi sa kanya. I’ve never seen her complain, I’ve never seen her react badly to anyone, treat anyone badly, never!” Pinky exclaimed.

The veteran actress guested on "Fast Talk" Wednesday with Chuckie Dreyfus who couldn't help but agree with everything Pinky said about Jillian.

“Sobrang bait. Walang kaere-ere talaga yung bata, and whenever you see her, parang, she has this effect that when she comes in and she just smiles at you, di 'ba? Yayakapin ka, parang ang saya-saya, ang gaan-gaan kasama talaga ni Jillian,” the former That's Entertainment mainstay piped in.

Jillian captivated Kapuso fans’ hearts when she was cast in "Sine Novela: Trudis Liit” at the age of five.

She continued to amaze the viewers with her exceptional talent on  "Jillian: Namamasko Po," "Daldalita," and "My BFF,” among others.

In February, the Sparkle star celebrated her 18th birthday, where she wore a glamorous midnight blue gown.

Jillian was among the celebrities who came out to the Philippine Arena in June to see Bruno Mars’ concert.
