On the GMA 7 mini-series "SRO Cinemaserye: Rowena Joy," she is a transsexual; in GMA Films/APT's "Yaya and Angelina: Spoiled Brat the Movie," a cold-hearted assassin; and on the forthcoming Kapuso afternoon soap "Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit," she reprises Clarissa Gargamonte, an iconic bida-kontrabida role originated by Maricel Soriano.

On "Rowena Joy," she had to get inside the mind of a woman who used to be a man. "It was challenging because I've been a woman all my life," she jests. "I wanted to know what it feels like to be in that dilemma. In front of her friends, she is a transsexual. But with her boyfriend, she's all woman."
