Jean Garcia is a veteran Filipina actress who we first saw as the Iconic Madam Claudia Buenavista in the original PangakoSaYo (The Promise, 2000). 

Jean Garcia played Angelo’s ruthless mother who held a wealth of secrets and did everything in her power to keep Angelo from her true love, Yna.
The role was Jean Garcia’s most notable role to date and it came at a time that she had almost given up on her career and had even relocated to Japan for a couple of years where she worked as a dancer. Jean Garcia returned to the Philippines to play the role which re-launched her acting career.  After The Promise, Jean Garcia appeared in Kaytagal Kang Hinintay (The Long Wait) as Lady Morganna which she was also brilliant in.



After a successful career in ABSCBN, Jean Garcia moved to the rival network, GMA where she has been for almost 10 years now. We got to see her in GMA dramas like Impostora, Dyesebel, All About Eve and One True Love.
Pertaining to her personal life, Jean Garcia has never gotten married. She however has two children. Her eldest daughter Jennica Garcia is also a Kapuso actress and we saw her in Marian Rivera’s Carmela where she played Alliyah. Jennica is married to Alwyn Uytingco and together, they have a girl called Athena Mori. Jean Garcia also has a 14 year old son called Kotaro.
