She played Prinsesa ng Kawal, in Star Cinema&#x27;s &quot;Ang Panday,&quot; which was her first appearance in a film. </p><p>Since then, she had starred in various films, music videos and TV shows locally.

And I can relate that to SOLÁ, because we’ve also been through a lot of ups and downs, so I can definitely relate to her [Bettina],” Versoza says. </p><p>Aside from her goal to start a career abroad, the multi-hyphenate has also a lot of dreams for her own shapewear brand as she aims to introduce it not only to the Southeast Asian market but to the world. </p>
