KRISTINE
HERMOSA
Acel Tolentino
Eighteen
years ago, the world oddly paved way for the birth of a
unique beauty. The angels rejoiced that another heavenly
soul was out to conquer earth's various realms.
It was only a premonition then. Now, with deafening ap
plause, KRISTINE HERMOSA shines on screen gracing movies,
teleseries, even commercials.
What is it about Tintin that people couldn't forget her
loveliness and fans 'die' for her. Is it the beauty that
lightens the milieu, the aura that beams off our TV sets,
or the person within the mere pleasant view? Let us look
inside Kristine and contemplate while we try to walk her
path.
Looking back...
From a very shy little child who refused to be exposed,
no one knew she would be a star. The bashful teener is
now one most promising young actress on Philippine TV. It
was the appreciation of the audiences which encouraged
her to pursue a showbiz career and not money because her
dad MAXIMILLIAN ORILLE works as an engineer in London and
that makes them a well-off family.

At fifteen, she looked
eighteen, older than her ate KATHLEEN, because of her
well developed figure but that didn't deprive her of
being a kid. She still fancies Winnie the Pooh, stuffed
toys and enjoys kidding around with her chow pet Bogs. No
wonder "she's still a bit playful and 'bungisngis',
the usual girl her age", her on-screen partner
JERICHO ROSALES shares, contrary to the way we see her on
screen - a very refined and modest girl who couldn't even
spank a roach. Kristine was only 12 years old when
she joined the cast of Ang TV. She also had a fair
exposure in the youth-oriented program Cyberkada mainly
hosted by MO TWISTER. Her career finally took-off after
several years of wait as she signed up for the TV
mini-series Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako opposite MARVIN
AGUSTIN, who was later linked to her. Offers piled up and
her fame blasted. She earned the Crush Ng Bayan title and
everything followed.
Kristine was lucky enough but there were things that
slightly compromised her reputation. She was negatively
criticized and rumors bulleted through her personality,
condemned to have flirted with several men whose sole
intention is to befriend such an attractive lady
(however, some really dared for her love), misconstrued
her bond with sister Kathleen and other fierce
allegations. Only a time off camera and a rest at their
well-guarded abode would compensate her being workaholic,
her 35-year old mom ALMA says so. Despite all these, she
remained collected, confident and headstrong surmounting
the harshness of show business. After all, Kristine is
still the victor while her detractors' laughs echoes on.

Looking ahead...
On the night of September 9, the entire nation will
witness Kristine's formal transformation into a fine
young woman, a celebration not just a run-of-the-mill, an
unedited narration of her dream come true. This is how
she wants her debut to turn out. Grandeur, elegant and
fairy tale like.She is set to wear three different
gowns, one for co-ushering the guests, the main gown and
the after the ball gown. The event will be sponsored by
Street Jeans, Illustrazio and Maxi-Peel.
The escort? Her special friend of course, Jericho. Other
stars close to her will attend the party plus non-showbiz
friends. PAOLO CONTIS, her first showbiz crush, is
included in the 18 roses.
Looking ahead, there is so much in store for Kristine
Hermosa as her beauty never ceases to bloom and talent
grows and spawn seeds of hardwork, dedication, humility
and love for her family and friends. In the future, she
might be one of the most respected character in the film
industry. This is just the start of a new book in her
life beginning with an expressive frontispiece.
Her Pangako Sa 'Yo is rating high in the poll, gaining
praises in reviews and hitting hard in the hearts of the
mass, she also has an upcoming movie entited Trip. What
else? You just wait and see 'cause there's so much to
expect from the future superstar!
