WE are surprised that in spite of being together in one project, TV5’s “Valiente,” ex-couple Mark Gil and Jaclyn Jose aren’t on speaking terms yet. In real life, they are the parents of Andi Eigenmann.

Jaclyn says with a smirk, “I think we can be civil to each other but Mark  seems to ignore me. That’s fine with me. After all, his character will die after three episodes.”

But the other ex-couple in the new series, Michael de Mesa and Gina Alajar look cool together. Maybe,  they  are friends now  as both have moved on. They are the parents of Geoff, Ryan and AJ Eigenmann.

Michael is now US-based so he frequently sees his youngest son, AJ  who is now working in Las Vegas. Michael, on his own, now lives in Orange County with his new wife and an adopted daughter. Michael works for an ambulance service company in America.  He just can’t ignore the good offer by TV5 to act again so he immediately returned home.
