It takes a strong woman to play Dr. Jill Ilustre from the Broken Marriage Vow. That’s why when we heard the news that Jodi Sta. Maria will be taking on the role of the popular K-Drama spinoff we couldn’t be more impressed. Jodi is a powerful woman with wit, charm, and a sense of self. Dr. Jill Ilustre may possess qualities that are similar to Sta. Maria, but Dr. Jill Ilustre’s fate led her to a troublesome path.
Although, the two personalities do share some thing in common, they’re both mothers. Jodi Sta. Maria is the mother of Panfilo S. Lacson III, while Dr. Jill Ilustre is a mother to a teenage boy in the series. Sta. Maria was able to bring out her natural motherly instincts as she shoots for the ongoing series.
During her cover interview for Modern Parenting, the veteran actress opened up about the empowering feeling of playing Dr. Jill, as well as how she tried to make the character her own. She even shared the hardship she went through as mother, since the taping was during the middle of a pandemic. Nevertheless, she pushes on and made time for her family through constant FaceTime calls and check ins. The workaround became a great way for Sta. Maria to pursue her passions and care for her family at the same time. A true sign of an empowered woman.
This power and vitality shines through Sta. Maria’s Modern Parenting cover. We see her smiling under the golden sun with confidence and pure joy. The star was dressed to the nines in an effortlessly stylish way. Like her character in the Broken Marriage Vow, she perfectly incorporated Filipino designer items and casual clothing for her 2nd cover for Modern Parenting.
