Lavender Fields actress Jolina Magdangal is very grateful for how fans and viewers expressed their excitement at finally seeing the actress again in an acting project.

In an exclusive interview with PUSH, Jolina shared how she appreciated all the reactions and messages she has been receiving after being announced as part of the upcoming Kapamilya series.

“Natutuwa ako. ‘Di ba minsan kahit sa personal nating buhay, natutuwa tayo at na-appreciate natin kapag may nakaka-miss sa atin? So noong nakita ko ang reaction ng lahat, e syempre, alam mo naman, iba na rin ang panahon ngayon. Talagang mararamdaman mo ang kanilang pagmamahal dahil nandito nga ang social media,” she said.

Jolina was pleasantly surprised to see how excited the viewers received her acting comeback.

She continued, “Syempre, na-touch ako. Nagdasal ako sabi ako, ‘uy, thank you, Papa Jesus’. Kasi minsan, pag marami ka na rin nagawa, minsan parang akala mo na alam na nila ‘yan, sanay na sila na ganyan ako, parang ganoon. Pero kapag may nakaka-appreciate sa’yo, (nasasabi ko) ‘Talaga ba?’ Hindi ako makapaniwala.”

The Kapamilya star also shared how she would check her social media accounts to see and read the posts her supporters make for her.

“So very thankful ako sa kanila. Very excited ako pag nakakakita ako ng post nila dahil ang gagaling din nila mag-edit. Mga ganun. Para sa akin, fresh ‘yung [feeling] every time ako makakita ng ganoon,” she expressed. “Kasi, parang nararamdaman ko na genuine yung love nila sa akin. ‘Yung mga talagang reaction na nakikita ko, na tina-tag din ako. At natutuwa ako sa kanila.”

Back in the thick of things, Jolina took time to remind her fans not to engage in anything negative.

“Huwag lang silang mag-away-away. ‘Yun ‘yung sa akin. Masaya ako ‘pag nababasa ko sila,” she said.

Lavender Fields is set to premiere on all Kapamilya platforms, A2Z and TV5 on September 2.  The show will have an early airing on August 30 on the video streaming platform Netflix and on August 31 on iWantTFC.

Jolina will play the role of Lily, a loyal friend to Janine Gutierrez’s Iris and her family.

“Ako ay kumbaga kasama sa nagpapalakad ng kumpanya nina Iris. Malaki ‘yung utang na loob ni Lily sa pamilya nila dahil yung pamilya nila, lalo na yung daddy ni Lily na si Vittorio, si Tito Edu, ang tumulong talaga para kay Lily na makapag-aral, maiahon ng pamilya,” she narrated.

“Si Lily ngayon, may asawa na at marangya ang tinitirahan. May pinag-aralan at kasama sa isang magandang kumpanya at malaking kumpanya. So, ‘yung utang na loob ni Lily sa pamilyang ‘yun ay ang pagiging protective niya sa kanyang kababata na si Iris,” she continued.
