City2 (reverted to BBC-2). She was considered the 80s Teen Drama Princess alongside the late Julie Vega, whose soap "Anna Liza" provided stiff competition to "Flordeluna." The two TV rivals co-starred in a number of '80s movies, mostly produced by Regal Films. In 1982, Janice was partnered with Gabby Concepcion via the movies, "Puppy Love" and "Home Sweet Home". What started as reel loveteam became real later. Janice was also known for her relationship with Aga Muhlach, which produced a love child, and her tumultuous relationship with now ex-husband John Estrada. She returned to the world of TV in soap in 1985 with "Andrea Amor" and "Don Camote dela Mancha" (produced by Inday Badiday's Loca Productions) both aired over GMA 7. Her transformation from a teenage star to a serious actress started in 1989 when she topbilled Mina Films' "Rosenda" opposite erstwhile boyfriend Gabby Concepcion. But she received her first Best Actress (Raha Sulayman Award) recognition in 1991 over Vision Films' "Kailan ka Magiging Akin", a Manila Film Festival entry. In 2001–2010, after her separation from Estrada, she hosted the now defunct popular morning talk show SiS also on GMA-7 with sister Gelli De Belen and their friend Carmina Villarroel. In 2011–2012, she starred and won public admiration anew in the critically acclaimed TV series Budoy. She followed it up with another noteworthy performance in the teleserye Ina, Kapatid, Anak which aired on the Primetime Bida Block and worldwide through TFC from 2012–2013. She co-hosted Showbiz Inside Report as well from February 2012 to October 2013 and until recently, was also doing Buzz ng Bayan with Boy Abunda. In 2016, she moved back to GMA to appear in Destined to Be Yours and My Korean Jagiya. In 2018, she returned to ABS-CBN and was cast in The General's Daughter and Sino ang Maysala?: Mea Culpa.
