During her guest appearance on Kring Kim’s “Think Talk Tea,” Jennica was asked about her pet peeves. When the discussion turned to showbiz, the actress immediately pointed to a behavior she finds particularly disappointing among fellow performers.
“Yung pupunta ka (sa set) tapos hindi ka handa,” Jennica said, explaining that she believes actors have a responsibility to take their work seriously. She added that, in her view, performers are among the people on a production who receive significant compensation, making preparation an important way of showing that they deserve the trust and payment given to them.
“Feeling ko sa actors lang. So parang in my mind, tayo yung may pinakamalaking sinasahod dito,” she said.

For Jennica, preparation is not simply a matter of professional courtesy. She believes it is also a way for actors to demonstrate their commitment to the craft and to the people working alongside them.
“Patunayan naman natin sa kanila na sapat yung binabayad nila sa atin,” she said.
Jennica acknowledged that social media has become an increasingly prominent part of everyday life, with many people spending time on platforms such as TikTok. She clarified that she does not consider making TikTok videos inherently wrong, but she believes there should be a clear distinction between personal activities and responsibilities while on set.
“Grabe, lahat na lang nagti-TikTok, and okay lang naman yun. Wala namang masama sa pagti-TikTok, pero if we’re on the set, we’re on the set. Do you get me? Wala namang masama sa pagti-TikTok, pero if we’re on the set, we’re on the set,” she explained.
The actress stressed that she was not specifically calling out any particular colleague. Instead, she was expressing a broader concern about the level of dedication she sometimes sees among people who say they want to become actors.
Jennica said she finds it particularly puzzling when aspiring actors express a strong desire to succeed in the industry but appear to lack the preparation expected of someone pursuing that profession.
“Medyo bothered talaga ako by it. Wala naman akong kino-call out. But at the same time, it’s sad because when you ask these people, they really want to be an actor... in my head, if you want to be an actor, how come I don’t see you with your script?” she asked..
For Jennica, wanting to become an actor should mean actively working toward becoming better at acting. That includes studying scripts, memorizing lines and understanding what a character is supposed to feel and communicate.
“Kung gusto mong mag-artista, gawin mo,” she said, explaining that insufficient preparation can contribute to mistakes because the lines have not been fully learned.
Jennica then offered a memorable description of how she believes actors should approach their dialogue. She said lines should not merely be stored in an actor’s memory for the purpose of recitation.
“Lines are not placed in the mind for you to remember. Lines are placed in the heart for you to feel,” she said. “And then pag sinabing action, BUGA!”
Jennica Garcia is the daughter of veteran actress Jean Garcia and actor Jigo Garcia, and she has built her own career as a Filipina actress and television host. She became known for appearances in teleseryes including “Gagambino,” “Adik Sa ‘Yo,” “Ako si Kim Sam Soon,” and “Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita?” Her career later included a hiatus from show business before she returned to television and gained renewed attention through her role in the primetime series “Dirty Linen.” In 2025, she further demonstrated her acting range with her portrayal of Sarah Banaag in ABS-CBN’s “Saving Grace,” earning praise for the complexity of the character.
Jennica Garcia previously spoke about the insecurities she experienced regarding her appearance when she decided to return to acting. During her time at GMA, she recalled breaking down and crying inside a bathroom cubicle. Changes in her skin tone contributed to her self-consciousness, making her uncomfortable about how she looked. Jennica also candidly explained that financial considerations played a major role in her decision to return to show business, describing acting as the quickest way for her to earn substantial money at that point in her life.
Meanwhile, Jennica Garcia reflected openly on experiences from her childhood and the discoveries she made while growing up. During her appearance on Kring Kim’s “Think Talk Tea,” the actress discussed the seven- to eight-year break she took from the entertainment industry. She also looked back on the motivations behind her plans for family life during her younger years, giving viewers a more personal perspective on the choices that shaped her journey away from and eventually back into show business.
