She also dropped a hint as to the reason why the two have yet to confirm the real score between them. '<i>Hindi ko kinonfirm [na may relasyon sila]. Sinabi ko lang meron [espesyal na pagtitinginan]. Tignan natin. Baka ayaw ng</i> parents,' she simply stated.</div><div><br/></div><div>When asked to comment on the rumors saying that Jake's parents don't approve of a young mom to be their son's girlfriend, Jaclyn refused to further speak about the issue out of respect for Erap. But it seems that the actress's friendship with the former president was a bit strained because of their children's much-speculated romance. '<i>Mahirap magsalita kasi presidente 'yan. Marami akong gustong sabihin pero hindi ko sasabihin dahil presidente 'yan ano</i>. Love <i>ko rin naman si </i>Erap. <i>Magkakaibigan kami bago</i> it happened. <i>Ang sa akin,</i> give it to the children. Let [them] fall in love.'</div><div><br/></div><div>In the meantime, she's really proud of Andi's performance in the movie <i>A Secret Affair.</i> The veteran actress explained that she wasn't really shocked with Andi's daring role since she pursued bolder roles back in the '80s. '<i>Yung </i>love scene <i>nila ni</i> Derek (Ramsay) <i>sa</i> construction site, <i>sabi ni </i>Andi, 'I didn't realize that I could do such [a wild love scene]'. <i>Nahihiya daw siya. Sabi ko naman, masusubok talaga yung maturity mo sa </i>acting. Instead of <i>dumaan ka sa pa</i>sweet sweet<i> tumalon ka na sa </i>mature roles. <i>Hindi naman [ako nagulat] kasi alam ko naman na. Tsaka okay lang yun</i> compared <i>sa nagawa ko</i>,' she exclaimed with a laugh. </div><div><br/></div><div>According to Jaclyn, having Andi as a daughter is the reason why she never regretted her past relationship with Mark Gil. '<i>Oo, wala na yun. Tatay na lang siya ni</i> Andi. <i>Ako naman ay may ibang buhay. [Kung meron man pinagmanahan si </i>Andi <i>pagdating sa </i>acting] <i>siguro sa dugo naming lahat. Ilang </i>generation <i>na 'yang </i>Eigenmann. <i>Siguro pakonti-konti may nakuha siya kay</i> Rosemarie Gil <i>at sa ibang kamag-anak na nasa industriya. Tapos malaking </i>factor <i>sa akin [namana yung galing sa pag-arte</i>].'</div><div><br/></div>
