Jane de Leon, Janella Salvador welcome possible project

MANILA, Philippines, January 31 ------ The demand for a follow-up project for "Darna" stars Jane de Leon and Janella Salvador continues to soar as the Filipino superhero series nears its conclusion.

The pair's chemistry has emerged as one of the surprises of the show, even as de Leon's Darna and Salvador's Valentina are fated to be mortal enemies. The "Darlentina" tandem has attracted an ever-growing, active, and creative fandom that root for both actresses. Both Salvador and de Leon expressed their gratitude for their fans' support in the media conference, ahead of Darna's final two weeks on air.

"With doon sa mga fans, sobrang 'yun nga, lagi naming sinasabi na sobrang unexpected talaga na sumabog 'yung Darlentina and JaneNella, especially sa panahon ngayon. Hindi naman natin inaakala na mangyayari," said de Leon. "Grabe 'yung pagmamahal na binigay niyo sa aming dalawa ni Janella," she added. "We are so thankful, and like I said kanina, it was unexpected, but it's such an honor din to have the community supporting you. Like, nakaka-warm din siya ng puso na you have them. Nakakatuwa," Salvador said, for her part.

The "Darlentina" fandom has not been shy about asking for a follow-up project for the actresses, and both Salvador and de Leon say they are all for it. "Of course, why not?" said Salvador. "Why not?" de Leon added. "Sana 'yung story eh. Kasi it's all about the craft din naman, 'di ba kasi artist din kami. So challenge din 'yun sa amin, if ever." The Darna star adds that it will be something new for both her and Salvador as well as the local audience.

"It's a new thing for us, for me and Jea. Maybe 'yung sa amin, it's about friendship and women empowerment," she added.
