Not
one but four GMA Network rising stars grace the cover of the July 2012
issue of MEGA Magazine, which is now available in stores nationwide.
Dramatic
actresses Kris Bernal, Sarah Lahbati and Bela Padilla, and new
primetime leading man Alden Richards join the ranks of select
celebrities who were given the chance to appear on the glossy magazine’s
cover.
In
the said issue, Kris, Sarah, Bela and Alden tell their discovery
stories: how they made their way into show business and how they have
kept a constant and huge following.
Kris Bernal
Like
many Kapuso stars, Kris Bernal was a product of the talent search
StarStruck. She joined the search in 2006 and since then, she has come a
long way in her showbiz career. Among her previous roles, the one she
portrayed in the “danceserye” Time of My Life was her most memorable.
In her interview with MEGA magazine, she reasoned, “Doon ko
nararamdaman na sobra akong na-challenge sa role. Kailangan kong
sumayaw at umarte.”
Kris
has always been known as a young drama actress, but the bubbly side of
her wants her to try romantic comedy or “romcom.” Whatever genre she
wants to try her hands into, Kris Bernal will surely be able to carry it out.
Sarah Lahbati
Sarah
Lahbati has the looks of an angel: soft, lovely and naturally
blooming. This and her natural acting talent caught the attention of
the public when the teenager joined StarStruck in 2009. After
StarStruck, various projects started to come her way beginning with
supporting roles. After playing the lead role in the afternoon series Kokak,
Sarah successfully invaded the strictly exclusive domain of primetime
TV working alongside equally talented actors Richard Gutierrez and Carla
Abellana in the series Makapiling Kang Muli.
Bela Padilla
She
may be one of the most hated characters in her TV soaps, but deep
inside, Bela Padilla has a heart of gold. Her convincing portrayals of kontrabida roles
usually mask her real personality: quiet, conservative and
kind-hearted. In her interview with MEGA magazine, Bela said that she
wants to always keep “an air of mystery” around her and that while
young, she wants to try a lot of things because she’s not going to get
this time of her life again.
Bela Padilla currently stars as Kris Bernal’s antagonist in the afternoon series Hiram na Puso.
Alden Richards
When
Alden Richards first tried to enter show business in 2009 via
StarStruck, he failed. A year later, he landed a prominent role in the
afternoon series “Alakdana” in 2010, a lead role in the Yam Laranas
horror film “The Road” in 2011 and this year another lead role in the
primetime TV series “One True Love.” Now, Alden joins the ranks of only
a handful of male stars who ever graced MEGA magazine’s cover, the
first one being Richard Gomez.
Alden
says that despite his successes and his current celebrity stature,
nothing has changed in the way he lives his life. He is still the same
home buddy, simple boy-next-door and lovable dimpled-one.
