Jessy Mendiola responds to netizens accusing her of not working

26 Aug – Jessy Mendiola is not amused that some netizens are questioning her lack of new acting projects with her network ABS-CBN.

As reported on Push, the actress, whose last project with the Kapamilya network was playing Andi in "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano" last year, stated that she had taken a temporary break from accepting new projects.

"Even actors who are not visible have a choice to rest. Sometimes our job can take a toll on our mental health. It's called self-care," she said.

Mendiola stated that she has a right to take a break and prioritising her health over work.

"To those saying that I'm not allowed to rest just because I'm not seen on TV or given any projects? You are wrong. I value balance in my life. Maybe you people should too," she added.

Although Mendiola hasn't seen on television as much, the actress did film several movies for the past several years, including the MMFF entry, "The Girl in the Orange Dress" and buddy comedy "'Tol".
