Jennylyn Mercado to star as Jodi in GMA-7’s remake of Stairway to Heaven

Assuming everything remains in place, Jennylyn Mercado is all set to play the role of Jodi in GMA-7’s remake of Stairway to Heaven. She will star opposite Dingdong Dantes who will play Cholo.

Despite everything that has happened to her, including being a single mom to Jazz, Jen has remained to be the network’s most bankable star. She joins the few roster of stars given a chance by their fans to make a successful comeback after being out of showbiz for awhile. It can be remembered that Jen was away from the spotlight during her pregnancy with Patrick Garcia’s son.

Aside from her high-rating afternoon soap, her sold-out birthday concert, her soon-to-be-released Coffee Table Book, and the forthcoming primetime remake of STH, Jennylyn has also been recently included by Dra. Vicky Belo among her elite list of endorsers. She will be Belo’s Hot Momma.

How to go to Macau from Hong Kong’s Mong Kok MTR Station through China Ferry Terminal

From the Mong Kok station of the MTR, take train (to central) and get off at Tsim Sha Tsui station. Exit at Exit A1, then turn right at Haiphong road, walk straight until you find Canton road where you also turn right. At the far end you will see the China Hong Kong City Mall where you will find the China Ferry Terminal. Purchase your tickets to Macau via ”First Ferry”. Remember to bring your passport with you.

Once you have passed the immigration counters in Macau, immediately proceed to “Centro”, which is like the city proper. Taxi fares are relatively cheap because Macau is fairly small. Once in Centro, most of the tourist spots are within walking distance. Most of the shops there accept HK$.

After you’ve done your sightseeing, take a taxi back to the ferry terminal bound for Hong Kong. Once back in Tsim Sha Tsui, you may consider looking around first before you take the MTR back to Mong Kok station (via Tsuen Wan line).

Tsim Sha Tsui station is surrounded by various malls where you can find expensive brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

How to go to Stanford Hotel from Hong Kong International Airport via Cebu Pacific

Cebu Pacific utilizes Terminal 1 of the Hong Kong International Airport. After alighting from plane, follow signs leading to immigration counters. You will need to ride a transfer train to the counters. After claiming your luggage, exit at Carpark 1. Proceed downstairs and look for the Citybus Ticket Booth across the street.

The station is along Nathan road corner Argylle street.

You can opt to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel but it will cost you more or less HK$ 300.

To return to the airport, A21 bus stops are also suitably located on the other side of Nathan road (to the airport side) .
