AT A GLANCE
To celebrate this 11-million milestone, the spotlight is on 11 new artists to heat Vivamax even more!
Rica Gonzales made it easy for the viewers to go crazy over her from the time she showed off her alluring beauty in “Hibang” last year. Her follow up movies this year showed her versatility as an actress. She’s a manipulative bride in “Dilig”, a carefree girlfriend in “Mapanukso”, a sickly and weak wife in “Kapalit”, and a sexy dancer seeking a new life in “Dayo”.
Christy Imperial was already in the company of today’s brightest actors in her first projects on Vivamax. She was part of the cast of “The Rain in España”, “La Querida”, “Dirty Ice Cream”, and “Asintado”. Even as she enters showbiz, Imperial still keeps up with her studies and other interests. She is good in swimming and volleyball, and can do ramp modelling.
Arah Alonzo’s first two Vivamax movies were “Araro” and “Sex Games” in 2023. This year, she had lustful encounters in “Kalikot” and “Stag”. Alonzo had acting workshops as a child. Much later, she joined pageants and became part of “Sexy Babe”, a segment on It’s Showtime. She was then referred to the management of Jojo Veloso, which opened up opportunities for her.
Vern Kaye can sing and dance in real life. In reel life, she sure can play an unfaithful wife. In “Kasalo”, she hops in bed with Albie Casiño whom she met in a car sharing app. In “Salitan”, she gives in to temptation with a complete stranger even as she is married to the character of Nico Locco. Viewers should see what more Kaye has to offer in Vivamax.
Athena Red is of Filipino, Spanish and Kuwaiti descent. She is a culinary student, and has done modeling gigs. She describes herself as funny, but serious about making it in showbiz. Vivamax is cooking up something where her acting skills will be showcased. First on the list is “Ang Pintor at ang Paraluman”.
Alessandra Cruz is completely new to the industry, but being here has been her dream since she was little. Discovered through talent agencies, Cruz says that she is eager to learn and is very grateful for the opportunity Vivamax is giving her. “Nurse Abi”, her first movie project, is coming out in July.
Jenn Rosa was part of the series “Araro” in 2023. This May, she is one of the three lead stars in “Kulong”, a movie about three friends who aim to write a great screenplay. To get them inspired, they go on a sexual adventure. She also stars in “TL”, now streaming on Vivamax. Rosa’s beautiful and fit figure could be attributed to her love for vegetables.
Candy Veloso hails from Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur. She moved to Manila just last year. Veloso admits that getting into showbiz was not in her plans, but her appearance in It’s Showtime segment Expecially For You went viral, and soon after she was discovered by Jojo Veloso. Her first acting experience was in “Kapalit”, and now she’s starring in “Dirty Ice Cream.”
Mariane Saint has attended different workshops to prepare her for the challenging and titillating Vivamax movies in store for her. First on the list is “Top 1”. Keep tuned in for the release date, and find out if she’ll be a saint or a sinner. In an Instagram post, Saint has expressed her gratitude to her manager Lito De Guzman, and her excitement for her professional growth.
Skye Gonzaga is one of the metro’s hippiest DJs, and has just signed a contract as the official DJ artist under Viva Artist Talent Management. If you enjoy listening to her, you’ll also love watching her. Her voluptuous body is a sight to behold in her upcoming Vivamax movies, “Only Friends”, and “Ang Pintor at ang Paraluman.”
Vivamax has built up the careers of many talented artists such as Angeli Khang, Azi Acosta, Yen Durano, Christine Bermas, Robb Guinto, Angela Morena, Micaella Raz and AJ Raval. Through the 2023 reality show,“Pantaxa (extreme 4play)”, Vivamax has also paved the way for beautiful, brave, and determined young women like Aiko Garcia, Apple Dy, and Angelica Hart to become the VMX Crushes that they are now. That said, the 11 new artists are definitely in good hands.
