Jennylyn Mercado was born on May 15, 1987, to a mother who was a duty-free store beauty consultant. She had a stepfather who abused her as a child. Her stepfather burned her skin with cigarette butts. Her mother, who was working in Dubai at that time, immediately flew back to the Philippines not to help her, but to bail out her stepfather who was in jail for abusing her.
Her life story was featured in the weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman in October 14, 2004. She is now the official spokesperson of the Bata Foundation (Christian Mission Services), a non-government organization. At 21, she got pregnant by her ex-boyfriend Patrick Garcia, who distanced himself upon learning of her pregnancy.
Blessed with mesmerizing beauty, acting talent and excellent singing voice, there’s no doubt that she has become one of GMA Network’s most prized possession. In a span of 10 years, we saw her grow as an actress. She became the first ever StarStruck Ultimate Female Survivor. And she has come a long way since her humble beginnings in the first reality artista search on television.
