Actress Bianca Umali and Lola Vicky share their heartwarming journey of Bianca's rise to stardom, starting from her early days as a child model and actress. Lola Vicky's unwavering support and guidance played a pivotal role in Bianca's success, instilling in her humility, resilience, and a strong sense of gratitude.
Actress Bianca Umali and her grandmother, Lola Vicky , reminisced about Bianca's early days in showbiz, highlighting Lola Vicky 's significant role as her constant companion after she was orphaned at a young age. In an episode of the cooking talkshow 'Lutong Bahay' on Thursday, Bianca shared with the hosts, Mikee Quintos and Kuya Dudut, that she started appearing in commercials at just two years old.
By the age of seven, she began auditioning for television roles, ultimately landing a spot in the GMA TV show 'Tropang Pochi' at nine years old. Despite growing up as a child star, Lola Vicky emphasized that Bianca remained grounded, attributing her humility to her natural character. 'It's in her, it's not because of me. She's naturally kind,' Lola Vicky proudly stated. Bianca also revealed that she experienced some bullying during her initial foray into the entertainment industry. 'We were really new back then,' she said, choosing to overlook the negativity. Lola Vicky recalled instances where Bianca would rest on the floor during early shoots while her fellow young performers had their own beds. 'When they had tapings, they had beds, but we didn't. We were just there on the floor, but it was just for a while, then she would get up. Eventually, she became successful,' Lola Vicky shared. Bianca expressed that her grandmother constantly reminded her of her future potential. Lola Vicky also instilled in her the importance of accepting their circumstances, working hard to achieve her desires. 'I think it was during those times, she would see me looking, there were moments like that, you know, when you see a child looking,' Bianca said. 'Because Mom had instilled in us that if you don't have something, you don't have it. Work hard to get it, and that was okay. We were happy as long as we knew Mom was there,' she added. Bianca emphasized that all her efforts are dedicated to her grandmother. 'It's all for her,' the actress said. 'I owe her my life, and I will always proudly declare that I'm a lola's girl because I wouldn't be where I am today without her.' — FRJ, GMA Integrated New
