Although she had a glimpse of how the industry was like by doing commercials, Kira always thought that the tears that the stars are showing onscreen were all fake. But soon as she was tasked to cry herself Kira discovered that it's the opposite. That almost all the emotions were real. Along with that, she realized that the business is not for the lazy and for the faint-hearted. Her two-year training and waiting all paid off as Kira received an outpour of blessings since she formally joined the industry. She became part of two soaps in 2016—the first one was “The Story of Us” and then the afternoon gamechanger “The Greatest Love.” To date, Kira remains in awe over the continuous flow of opportunities that are coming her way, especially since she’s well aware that she’s a new face in the industry. @kira_balinger #SpotlightonBFF5

Although she’s the youngest in the group, Andrea Brillantes is the most “veteran”l," as far as being in the business is concerned. But the truth is Andrea also didn’t want to join show business. But Andrea experienced a change of heart after her brother experienced an accident that left a major huge scar on his face. Andrea looks back at that incident as the moment which made her want to help in their family's finances by trying her luck in the business anew. However, prior to getting where she is today, Andrea also experienced many rejections and bit roles. @andreabrillantes #SpotlightonBFF5

But soon as she found the “groove” in the business, Andrea has turned her weakness, which is crying, into one of her strengths. Eventually it paved the way for her to become one of the most sought after dramatic actresses of her generation. As she stayed in the business, Andrea has picked up a number of antics from the people that she has worked with, which she has employed in her many major projects. @andreabrillantes #SpotlightonBFF5

As early as 10 years old, Loisa Andalio already had a clear-cut idea of what she wants to happen in her life—that is to be able to get inside the famous “Pinoy Big Brother” house. Not too long, Loisa was able to fulfill her dream as she was among the lucky few who made it to “Pinoy Big Brother: All In” back in 2014. Other than getting into the reality show, Loisa has always wanted to become an actress and a singer. This idea hatched in her young mind during her many videoke bonding sessions with their family in the past. All thanks to her supportive aunt, Loisa was able to experience being part of a Star Magic workshop. That workshop, according to Loisa, boosted her confidence and really made her want to try in “PBB.” @iamandalioloisa #SpotlightonBFF5
