Her career as an actress has spanned more than five decades, beginning when she debuted as a child actress in the 1963 film Trudis Liit, for which she won her first FAMAS Award (Best Child Performer). She won the FAMAS Award for Best Actress for her dual role in "Dama de Noche" (1972). She has portrayed the superhero Darna in four films beginning with "Lipad, Darna, Lipad!" in 1973.
