Jennylyn Mercado (born May 15, 1987 in Las Piñas City, Metro Manila, Philippines) is a Filipina actress, singer, songwriter and model. She was the winner of the first season of StarStruck, a reality-based talent search show of GMA Network in the Philippines. She released three albums from GMA Records and Viva Records which have several well-known singles such as "Sa Aking Panaginip," "Moments Of Love" collaboration with Janno Gibbs, "Maybe This Time" and Kahit Sandali."
Career
Jennylyn started out as a recording artist, in 1999, with Alpha Records through the recommendation of her voice coach Susanna Pichay. She was with the singing group G4 of Nonoy Tan. Unfortunately, two of the co-members did not continue on so the group and the planned album were scrapped. But the group was able to record two songs. After G4, she went into modeling and landed an endorsing stint with Bambini cologne and a Pond's television advertisement. She also made it to the elite Circle of 10 modeling search with fellow StarStruck member, Dion Ignacio, winning the Ms. Photogenic title.
In 2003, Mercado joined the reality show StarStruck> She and Mark Herras were proclaimed the winners. Each of them received 1,000,000 pesos plus exclusive contracts from GMA Network. After winning StarStruck, she has appeared in several films including So Happy Together and the teen-flick Let the Love Begin. In television, she has appeared in the fantasy soap opera Encantadia, I Luv NY, Now and Forever titled Dangal, Super Twins, Sine Novela: Paano Ba Ang Mangarap?, SRO Cinemaserye: Suspetsa, Ikaw Sana and Sine Novela: Gumapang Ka Sa Lusak.
She released her first album Living the Dream containing original compositions by composer Vehnee Saturno and a carrier single titled "Kahit Sandali". In May 2006, Mercado released her second album, Letting Go which included the single "Sa Aking Panaginip" by Vehnee Saturno. Her first major concert was held on May 15, 2006 at the Music Museum in Greenhills. In January 2010, under VIVA Records, she released her third album, Love Is... Jennylyn Mercado.
Last May 15, 2009, she had her birthday concert at the Music Museum, titled I Am Woman, with guest stars Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Richard Poon and Mark Herras. The sold-out concert ran for three hours.
Jennylyn's acting career is being handled by Becky Aguila and VIVA Entertainment, Inc. Her singing career is managed by VIVA Records alone. Her contract with VIVA ended in 2011.
Last February 19, 2012, Jennylyn announced in Showbiz Central that she is now part of the family of PolyEast Records.
Personal life
On May 4, 1991, when she was nearly four years old, she made headlines as a battered child. Her assailant was her stepfather, who burned her skin with cigarette butts. Her mother, who was in Dubai working as beauty consultant in a duty free store, immediately came home. She came not to take care of her daughter, however, but to bail out her partner, who was in detention.[1] Mercado's life story was featured in the weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman on October 14, 2004. She is now the official spokesperson of the Bata Foundation (Christian Mission Services), a non-governmental organization.
She then got pregnant by her ex-boyfriend Patrick Garcia, who, reportedly, has distanced himself upon learning about the pregnancy. On August 16, 2008, she gave birth, via Caesarian section (8-9 p.m.) to an 8 pound, 12 ounce (3.68 kg) baby boy at St. Luke's Hospital, Quezon City. Her child's name is Alex Jazz "AJ" Mercado.[2][3][4]
On October 28, 2010, Jennylyn was reportedly rushed to the hospital due to a minor heart attack.[5]
