Maria wasn’t keen on the idea of her son Thirdy joining showbiz at the moment.  “I want him to focus <i>muna </i>on his studies <i>kasi medyo mahihirapan eh. Alam naman natin di ba na</i> you cannot serve two masters at the same time,<i> may isang magsu</i>-suffer <i>talaga,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The <i>Be Careful With My Heart</i> star stressed that she wants her son to finish his studies. “<i>Mas</i> important <i>talaga sa amin na maka-</i>finish<i> siya sa pag-aaral.</i> And regular school <i>siya</i> and it will be very hard for him to go to a regular school and do <i>artista </i>jobs.” Jodi has experienced for herself how tough it is to balance school and showbiz. She even stopped pursuing her college studies because of her schedule. “Now<i> hindi muna ako</i> [nag-aaral], <i>nag</i>-stop<i> ako kasi </i>of my schedule <i>pero</i> that is something <i>na hindi ko pa rin nakakalimutan at ‘yun nga pinagdarasal ko na mabalikan ko siya na maluwag na ‘yung</i> schedule<i> ko.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>Besides acting and being a mom, she’s also an entrepreneur. She just recently opened her milkshake store called Happy Barn in Alabang. When asked how she juggles her busy schedule, the actress remarked,” I have to make time <i>talaga. Siyempre kailangan maging </i>hands on <i>din ako</i>.” More than anything else, Jodi’s main priority is still being a full-time mom to Thirdy, “Priority <i>pa rin ‘yung pamilya,</i> priority<i> ko pa rin ‘yung anak ko. Kumbaga wala namang</i> question <i>diyan</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>On her love life, Jodi remained mum about the real score between her and Jolo Revilla. But the actress shared that they do support each other in their respective endeavors. “<i>Kung ano man ‘yung mga karera na meron kami at kung ano man ‘yung mga negosyo na tinatahak namin,</i> we support each other.” Jodi further relayed that Jolo also looks after Thirdy and that they do make time to bond together. “<i>Kahit papaano nakakapag</i>-bond<i> naman sila</i> [<i>ni</i> Thirdy]. <i>Kung may mga </i>days <i>na wala kaming</i> work, <i>ganyan. Lumalabas kami </i>with Thirdy, movie <i>ganon.</i>”</div>
