Geraldine Jennings - a talented artist from a diverse Irish-British-Filipino background - is all set to take Philippine showbiz by storm with her debut performance.
Get ready to witness a fresh and captivating presence on the screen as Geraldine brings her unique cultural blend and artistic flair to the forefront.
During a recent media conference in Quezon City, Geraldine expressed excitement for her upcoming showbiz career, which is set to appear in the Solid Gold Entertainment Production movie "Isla Babuyan."
"At a young age, I loved singing. My mom enrolled me in singing and guitar classes. I just loved it. I studied it in Los Angeles. And I grew to love the craft. Tito Leo (Dominguez) has been asking to do this for a while now. It's been in the works for two years. Finally, I got the chance to do it. It's my passion. I love the arts," said Geraldine when asked about her venture into local showbiz.
Geraldine's passion for filmmaking is admirable - she even enjoys being on set when the movie is still in progress.
Her dedication to the craft is inspiring, and it's evident that she puts her heart and soul into every project she works on.
"It was an amazing experience. It's still ongoing. We haven't finished yet. It was challenging initially because it was different from studying it. But everyone was so helpful, so friendly. It was normal, and I felt great. I love it," she said. O
On her showbiz influences, Geraldine said: "While I was growing up, it was Miley Cyrus. I love her music. 'Party In The USA' was my favorite. I still love her now. Her new album 'Flowers.' She's my inspiration musical-wise. Right now, Dua Lipa. I love her style. I love how she sings and how she performs. Acting-wise, I will have to say Gal Gadot. She's my favorite in 'Wonder Woman,' 'Red Notice.' Also, Margot Robbie. She is amazing in 'Barbie,' very versatile. Those are my influences."
Geraldine also shared her thoughts about the love team culture in the country.
"I'm really flexible. I am willing. I am easy naman to do what is needed in the movies. I think I would be willing if needed," she said.
This beauty also shared how she prepared for her venture into showbiz.
"I started my training in LA. I went to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. And it was about the theory of acting, reading about it. I also took acting classes in West Hollywood, specifically for TV and movies. I learned a lot. When I came back in September, I did an acting workshop with Joe Macasa, who is amazing, and he taught me a lot about how to feel the vibes. So you're not acting, but you are the character. But I learned a lot from being on set. Being there, I learned a lot from my co-stars, which is great," she said.
Geraldine also loves equestrian, polo, clay pigeon shooting, fitness and exercise. "I love pilates, indoor cycling, spinning, and running."
When she moved to the United Kingdom in 2009, she returned to the Philippines thrice a year during vacation. She has a second home in Manila.
Geraldine's mom is Gina Cariaga, a Filipino housewife and businesswoman from Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, and her father is Frank Jennings, a Northern Irish international businessman.
Her mom's side comes from politics and teaching. Her mom's grandfather, Nicasio Cariaga, was the police chief and a teacher who graduated from the Philippine Normal University.
Geraldine is the second child among three equally talented sisters.
"Isla Babuyan," tells the story of Anastassia (Geraldine), a young half-Filipina and half-European girl who comes to the Philippines to be with her Filipino mother, Rose (Lotlot De Leon). Anastasia meets and falls in love with the handsome Jordan (Jameson Blake), who is the scion and heir of a wealthy family. But the conflict begins when Jordan's stepmother (Nathalie Hart) cannot accept Anastassia and will do everything to keep them apart.
Jessie Vilabrille wrote the screenplay from a story he conceptualized with Leo Dominguez and Bam Salvani. It is line-produced by Dennis Evangelista and directed by Abdel Langit.
