One of her earlier projects as a Kapuso was playing the lead role in the Philippine adaptation of the Mexican telenovela, Rosalinda, in the GMA7 Network in 2009. She became everyone’s favourite on the network’s fantasy comedy, Magic Palayok, and has also co-hosted SOP, StarStruck and Party Pilipinas on GMA7.
