Third time’s a charm!iGMA.tv
Article posted May 15, 2008
Jennylyn Mercado has come and gone and came back again for the third time to chat with her friends and fans via iGMA Live Chat. This time around, she has again surpassed her record of having the highest number of questions in the chat history of iGMA. Is it because of her controversial condition? Or is it because Jennylyn’s fans simply love her? Text by Loretta G. Ramirez, Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio
Arriving a few minutes late, Jennylyn did not get many comments about her tardiness. Fans and the staff simply made allowances to accommodate her in her delicate condition. However, Jennylyn made up for her delay by answering as many questions as possible and extending her chat to be with her fans a little while longer.
A birthday bashCelebrating her 21st birthday this month, iGMA decided to give her a surprise birthday bash. The whole set was decorated with balloons and Goldilocks provided pastries and cake for Jen’s birthday chat. The whole program concentrated on giving this Starstruck Ultimate Female Survivor a memorable moment with her fans and friends who all wish the best for her and her baby.

Most of the questions from the chat were about Jen’s pregnancy and the baby. The fans even suggested a number of names for her baby boy.
“Wala pa akong naisip eh, help me naman,” was Jen’s reply to all those who asked if she has already has a name for her baby.
Dru_irkins one of the chatters suggested that she get a strong name. “Get your baby a name that means something. A sturdy name. A strong name. Name that’s gonna withstand a lot of bad times. A lot of hurt.”
YishiN_wEiluN128 on the other hand gave a unique suggestion: “Ate Jen may suggestion po akong name sa baby mo, daniel anthony christopher cyrus dominick mike gilbert jeffery wallace william charles!”
Jennylyn also called two her fans to give them a chance to speak with her, Hazel Maigue a Fanatxt subscriber and Paopao7k from Baguio, a registered iGMA forums member.
With more than 1,700 questions and greetings for Jen, it was obvious that a lot of people still support and love this young lady!
Mommy Lydia’s wishThe highlight of the chat was when Mommy Lydia gave her wish and advice to the soon-to-be-mommy.

“Jen, anak, happy birthday at happy mother’s day na din, dahil mother ka na ngayon. Nandito lang ako lagi para sa iyo at para sa baby mo,” was her emotional message for her daughter.
She invited everyone to support Jen this weekend on SOP as she celebrates her birthday and launch her album Kahit Sandali in the said program.
The chat ended with the announcement of the two chat winners- Zharm 47 and May Flower 0510 who won a gift pack from MET and a gift certificate from Goldilocks.
