Meanwhile, Atty. Gozon highlights the secret to Carla’s successful career, “Si Carla ay isa sa pinakamagaling, maganda, at popular na artista ngayon kaya kami ay nagagalak na pinili niyang mag-renew sa kanyang home network. Sigurado akong malayo pa ang mararating niya sa showbiz.”

Duavit also has nothing but good words for Carla, “It’s a source of great happiness and pride when we see homegrown talents evolve, and Carla is one of the finest examples of that. She is doing very well. Mahusay, napakabait, at napakagaan niyang katrabaho.”

Moreover, Rasonable assures the supporters of Carla that they will be seeing more of her impeccable acting prowess this year, “Marami pa tayong gagawing projects with Carla. Napakahusay niyang artista kaya dapat lang ipagpatuloy ang magagandang dramas with her. It is a busy year for Carla—from Stolen Life, tuloy kaagad siya sa Widows’ War.”

Carla is truly a woman of timeless elegance, making her one of GMA’s finest gems. She has portrayed a wide range of characters, and her brilliance never fails to touch many hearts every single time. It is no surprise that Carla’s stellar career continues to flourish.

Currently, she stars in the high-rating GMA Afternoon Prime drama “Stolen Life.” This year, Carla is also set to star in the upcoming murder mystery series “Widows’ War.”
