Sydney's favourite export to the Philippine showbiz and fashion worlds, Jasmine Herny has clinched another achievement no other sixteen year old Fil-Aus artist has done. Jasmine is playing the role of Filipino entertainment world icon, Pilita Corrales in the movie Juke Box King

The movie chronicles the ups and downs of the life of another showbiz icon, Victor Wood. Unbeknown to so many, Pilita played a major role in Victor's entertainment world journey.

The Australian Filipina congratulated Jasmine on her recent achievement.

She said: "Thank you very much! Well, actually there are many things that I enjoy about playing the iconic Miss Pilita Coralles. Firstly, I am loving her fashion sense! I am always excited for our looks on set.



"Another thing, for my role I had to learn the Visayan accent. It is quite fun and I hope I have done it justice!  Overall, just by studying Miss Pilita for this movie, I have picked up on new vocal techniques and even the way she moves on stage." 


Jasmine met Pilita in person at a recording for 2021 shows by Net25 Eagle Broadcasting Corporation.

"Meeting Pilita was lovely. She is a wonderful person;  she didn't hesitate from smiling to everyone looking at her direction. I also observed her professionalism. As we were waiting for the Production, Miss Pilita was patiently waiting.

"On another note, Pilita Corales is beautiful and she was very kind to me.

Victor Wood who is still alive and kicking, was played by the Filipino actor, Martin Escudero.  There is no other actress to play Pilita, only Jasmine breathed life to the role. 

According to Pin Montemayor, Jasmine's mother and number one supporter, the tentative showing of the movie is set for the first quarter of the year.  It could be online or shown in a theatre, depends on the success and roll out of the COVID 19 vaccine

When asked if she would pursue acting as one of her passions, Jasmine commented:

"The acting industry is definitely something I want to pursue further in the future. I enjoy playing other characters and seeing life in a different perspective other than my own.

I am trusting the process and my management Cornerstone for the upcoming future announcements."

TAF asked Pin what was it like to see what Jasmine achieves in her journey.

"As a mother, I've always supported my children's dreams. Now I get to see Jasmine's passions and dream unravel which is so heart warming as a mother. And I couldn't be more proud. I will always be here in her journey and always be reminding her to look back to those people who helped her where she is now and the years to come."

We are looking forward to watching this movie showcasing another talent of Jasmine Henry.
