Ashley Ortega channels her inner mermaid in her freediving photos

Kapuso actress Ashley Ortega is, indeed, a woman of many talents and skills as she recently went freediving and became a mermaid for a day.

In an Instagram post, the Widows' Web star shared photos of herself dressed in a purple mermaid outfit and she looked ethereal as ever while in the deep blues.

"Became a mermaid for a day! Had a fun experience freediving in the ocean," she wrote.

According to the official Facebook page of the Kapuso educational program AHA!, the 23-year-old actress went freediving in one of the popular diving spots in Batangas.

Prior to this, the actress-entrepreneur went back to the skating rink and took some skating lessons with her coach Leonardo Aranton. In fact, Ashley was a professional figure skater and won different medals in local and international competitions when she was younger.
