It was never her intention to enter show business. In fact, she claims that she never even dared to participate in Christmas parties. Nevertheless, as they say, fate will always find you. Soon she found herself gracing in numerous teen’s and women’s magazines, as well as in billboards. Because her course was AB Mass Communications (with a minor in Philosophy), which she took up in Ateneo de Manila University and was a dean’s lister, she decided to apply in ABS-CBN and became a part of the production staff. She was one of the brainstormers for the network’s Creative Development Group.

From behind the camera, she moved in front of it, as she hosted Review Night in Cinema One, along with Ryan Agoncillo . She was able to hone her skills in hosting as together they tried to review movies released at the time. After less than one year, she then got another hosting stint in Wazzup Wazzup, as one of their “tadjocks.” She also became one of the hosts of the early morning talk show called Breakfast.

Later on, Bianca moved to one of her mother network’s shows called Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas. However, it was during her stay in Big Brother: Celebrity Edition that she gained nationwide publicity, both good and bad. She was pictured as a two-timer, having been allegedly involved with fellow housemate Zanjoe Marudo while going steady with Direk Lino Cayetano, who was then her boyfriend during that time. Yet despite of harsh criticisms, she still emerged at the contest’s third placer, after garnering a total votes of 19 percent of 245, 594 votes.

If you can’t see Bianca on TV, then you can definitely catch her in print and TV endorsements. She is the face of Pink Soda, a women’s apparel, Globe, Pantene, and Kotex, to name a few.

On a more personal note, Bianca is very much aware of her imperfections. For one, she grew up with a lot of scars on her legs. She admits that she’s never the kikay type or a sporty woman, though she’d love to try out new adventures. Most of her money is spent in traveling all over the world as well as in collecting Chuck Taylors.

She also grew up to be an all-time Kuya’s girl. In fact, her outlook in life, her personality, and basically the manner she does things are because of her brother’s influence. She was also caught up in a controversy involving her father, who was pictured to be alcoholic. Nevertheless, this was brought to a close once she went out of Big Brother’s house.
