Jessica Anne Rodriguez Maitim (born August 22, 1969), better known as Jean Garcia, is a Filipina television and film actress, who hails from Angeles City. She is best known for her role as Madam Claudia Buenavista in the original version of Pangako Sa 'Yo, Alvina Montenegro in Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita? and Karina "Rina" Mercado in The Half Sisters.

Biography[edit]

She attended Trinity University of Asia (formerly Trinity College of Quezon City) in Quezon City until she was discovered in a noontime show Kalatog Pinggan. She has two children, Jennica Garcia and Kotaro.

Career[edit]

Her most famous role was in the soap opera Pangako Sa 'Yo (2000) where she played antagonist Madam Claudia Buenavista. Her next landmark role is in the critically acclaimed Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay (2002) as Lady Morganna. She also starred in the first musical fantaserye Kampanerang Kuba, and the cooking show Makuha Ka sa Tikim. She moved to ABS-CBN's rival network GMA Network, playing supporting and villainous roles in primetime shows like Impostora, La Vendetta, Majika and others. She is recently in the said network's newest telefantasya, Dyesebel. Garcia played Abresia in Gagambino.

She was the cover of FHM Philippines' October 2008 issue. Garcia played "Sister Maria Belonia" in Shake, Rattle & Roll X, a Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry. After Gagambino, she appeared in All About Eve, where she worked with Sunshine Dizon, Iza Calzado, Richard Gomez and Eula Valdez. She later joined the cast of the witchcraft series Ilumina.^{[citation needed]} Garcia recently played the reprising role of Diony in the TV remake of Pinulot Ka Lang sa Lupa, which is based on the 1987 film of the same title released by Regal Entertainment (originally portrayed by Eddie Garcia).

She returned to ABS-CBN despite the denial of its legislative franchise renewal, on 2021, and Jean Garcia is part of the new series called Pangako, Ikaw Lang produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, starring Daniel Padilla, and Kathryn Bernardo.
