Through the years, GMA has nurtured the talents of bright child actors and actresses. Their home network has helped these young stars unleash their potential in different fields such as acting, singing, and dancing.
Now, these young talents are all grown up and are ready to show the world what they have to offer! Get to know the solid Kapuso stars who got their break as child stars in GMA, here.
Miguel Tanfelix joined 'StarStruck Kids' back in 2004. He became the 'StarStruck Kids' First Prince on the show's finale episode.
Now in his early '20s, Miguel is now being groomed to be one of GMA's future leading men.
Young Bea Binene charmed her way to everyone's hearts when she became part of 'StarStruck Kids.'
Aside from proving herself to be a versatile actress, Bea is also an environmental advocate, entrepreneur, and soon-to-be chef!
Much like Miguel and Bea, Paul Salas got his start in 'StarStruck Kids.'
Who would've thought that chubby kid then would grow up to be the fit and sexy Paul we know now?
Buboy Villar impressed everyone with his natural acting skills when he starred in 2008's 'Dyesebel' opposite Marian Rivera.
Buboy is a proud father of two children with his ex-partner Angillyn Gorens. He is still visible on TV amid the ongoing pandemic, he was cast in 'Owe My Love' and 'False Positive.' He is a YouTuber, too!
Who could forget Jillian Ward as the titular "Trudis Liit" way back in 2010?
Jillian is now in her teenage years and is on her way to be one of GMA's top drama actresses in the future.
