Showbiz Calling

After this, Kristine Hermosa was cast in a weekly drama series called the “Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako” with Marvin Agustin. This drama series brought critical acclaim for Kristine and helped her gain recognition as a refined actor.

Kristine’s romantic relationship with Diether Ocampo , during the shoot of “Sana’y Wala ng Wakas”, led to marriage. In 2005, she came back to limelight with some exemplary acting in the classic Gulong ng Palad. She played the popular character of Luisa opposite TJ Trinidad . A poet at heart, Kristine is more comfortable relaxing at home with her family than shooting under the bright illumination of the showbiz industry. The reason for her popularity is not just because she is good at acting or because she has the killer looks but because she is a nice person altogether who has got her head on her shoulders and her feet firmly on the ground. That’s Kristine for you – another pearl waiting to be borne by the winds of change to the far horizon.
