MANILA, Philippines – “Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown” castaway Jackie Forster qualified that she didn't get mad at fellow contestant Maria Isabel Lopez while they were shooting for the series in Palawan but “may sama ng loob.”

While Jackie won’t elaborate on her assessment, she told PEP, “Marami kasi siyang ginawa na hindi maganda. Ang dami niyang sinasabing hindi maganda” in an interview posted on Nov. 16.

She continued, “For me, nawala ako ng apat na taon sa showbiz, inayos ko talaga yung buhay ko kasi gusto ko... Alam ko malapit na yung panahon na makikita ko uli yung mga anak ko, pinagdadasal ko yun, e. So, inayos ko yung sarili ko.

“Ngayon na sa tingin ko... sabi rin ng asawa ko ngayon, mabuti akong ina. ‘Pag nakakakita ka ng ganun, na yung nanay, hindi ganun kabait at kaganda ang ugali, alam mo yun, parang nakakapanghinayang tsaka nakakawala ng gana,” the actress, who’s now married to a Dutch businessman and are based in Singapore, said at length.

Jackie’s partner in the competition was radio jock Angelicopter, while Maria Isabel was with her daughter Mara Yokohama.

“She [Maria Isabel] really... hindi ko ma-explain, e. Parang kikilabutan ka, e. Kasi feeling mo, 'Ha? Bakit siya ganun? Bakit niya sinabi yun?' Hindi naman kailangan,” Jackie was quoted as saying, adding that she did not confront Maria Isabel about the issue.

However, Jackie clarified that she’s “okay” with Maria Isabel.

“But para isipin niya na okay lang yung mga ginawa niya? It's not just with me, it's with everyone else. Ayokong magkaroon kami ng isyu para pag-usapan siya because...hindi, e, iyon ang gusto niya, e,” said she.

Jackie also recalled that “Survivor” director Rico Gutierrez encouraged all the castaways to “please be true to who you are” since they were all included in the show for their individuality.

“So in short, what he's saying, huwag tayong magkukunwari, huwag nating baguhin yung ugali natin para lang dito. Kung sino tayo, iyon ang ilaro natin.

"Pero no... I don't know why she did the things that she did. If she can't explain it, everybody else can't figure it out,” Jackie said.

Jackie plans to go back to Singapore on Nov. 22 and will return here next month to focus on her showbiz career.
