She dreamed, believed and survived StarStruck Season 5. She emerged as the First Princess of the talent search, and now, Diva Montelaba is ready to spread her wings. She currently stars as Milan in GMA Afternoon Prime series, Maghihintay Pa Rin. Get to know her more as she clues us in on her top five kikay kit essentials, showbiz crushes and more.

GIVE ME FIVE kikay kit essentials.

Lipstick, suklay, loose or pressed powder, oil control film and hanky.

GIVE ME FIVE ways to de-stress and relax.

Spa, eat-all-you-can, movie, billiards; I totally play billiards when I’m stressed! Lastly, I go to the gym and work out.

GIVE ME FIVE of your showbiz crushes.

Heart Evangelista! She’s my ultimate girl crush! Who else? Zac Efron and Tom Cruise! Sila lang eh. (Laughs)

GIVE ME FIVE of your favorite destinations.

Paris. Where else? Well, somewhere in Europe, actually, everywhere in Europe! Oh, and Cebu is the best place to live in! In Cebu, the best places to go to are Bantayan, Malapascua…para silang mga resort. Undiscovered kasi siya. It’s way better to relax there kasi it’s not that crowded and it’s so natural. It’s nice kasi ‘pag pumunta ka ‘dun, chill lang. Hindi magulo, and wala masyadong bar.

GIVE ME FIVE things that make a relationship ideal.

Para sa akin, meron nga akong quote, eh. Ang ideal relationship, hindi kailangang perfect. Ang importante, makasama mo ‘yung taong hindi ka iiwanan kahit anong mangyari. Plus, don’t plan things ahead of your time. I mean, let things happen; problems, happiness and everything. Just deal with them properly and ‘pag nagkaroon ng problema at hindi ka na masaya sa relationship, that means, give it up kasi hindi ‘yun ‘yun. Give it up and move on to the next.

GIVE ME FIVE reasons to watch Maghihintay Pa Rin

First, it’s an interesting story. Then, we have really great actors. Super! ‘Yung mga twists ng story, grabe, and nag-shoot pa kami sa Singapore. Lastly, you could really see the effort of the whole team. If you’re just gonna watch it, makikita mo talaga na pinaghandaan siya and pinaghirapan.
