When she began her career at 12, she was just one of the many faces overshadowed by Jolina Magdangal in Ang TV. Two years later, she would be repackaged as a member of the Star Circle Batch 4, the group that included Jericho Rosales, who would later become not just her favorite screen partner but also her boyfriend. From then on, there was no other road but success. Blame it on that beauty, one of the very rare few among the Jolinas and the Judays. Blame it, too, on the big breaks: that phenomenally successful mini-series in 1998 called Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako, followed by another TV phenomenon called the teleserye. The unbealievable success of the first one, Pangako Sa ‘Yo, would later translate into three hit movie team-ups with Rosales: Trip, Forevermore and Ngayong Nandito Ka. These days, she's back where her fans always want her: weeknights on primetime, playing the barrio lass thrust into the hard, fast and crazy world of the big city, and the hard, fast and loving arms of Jericho in Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas.
