Carla Abellana as Rosalinda - The Next Big Star of GMA

I think it was last week when I first saw Carla Abellana on TV Patrol. My first impression was simply, she looks like Marian Rivera! Guess what she thinks when compared to Marian Rivera? Her only answer was, "I graduated as Cum Laude", hehe. Is that an implied sarcasm?

And behold, she was introduced as the next big star of GMA primetime. How is that possible? She'll only play the role of Thalia in Rosalinda. Yep, you got it right. Carla Abellana is the Pinay Rosalinda.

So who really is Carla Abellana? She's the daughter of the veteran actor Rey 'PJ' Abellana. She does modelling and also appeared on Jollibee Ice Craze commercial. She is also currently dating PBA Basketeer JC Intal.
