From playing a genie role to turning her dreams into reality, the celebrity proves that striking while the iron is hot will be the force that keeps you going.
If you ask Christine what she does, the list will go on and on. An Aquarius—one of the air signs— is said to breeze through life, but she is a performer, vlogger, and streamer who definitely perseveres.
My motto is to live with no regrets. When there’s an opportunity, I grab it.
Challenge Accepted

While the glam team is readying her for the shoot, she chooses to bare it all as she answers the questions. She proclaims, in all honesty, that it is in acknowledging the privilege of her chosen careers that she finds the fuel to continue working.
“Madali na yung work namin compared sa iba na kailangan magtrabaho more than twelve hours in a day tapos naiinitan pa. Kaming performers or influencers, we work in a safe place. Comfortable kami. Sino pa ba kami para magreklamo?” she explains, the sincerity in her raspy voice evident.
After graduating from college, Christine was at a phase where she was weighing the best career option for her. That’s when her It’s Showtime stint as Genie-nga came as well as her gaming life.

At a time when the pandemic hit a lot of people the hardest, the social media star found more opportunities to gain experience and learn more about herself. People became curious about who Christine is and what else she can do. And in her online platforms, she accepts the challenge by letting herself be known.
Next Level
Working with Crown Artist Management is a dream come true for Christine, as she is a self-proclaimed Maja Salvador stan.
“Si Ate Maja (Salvador) ang first idol ko,” the Crown Artist gushes. “Nung high school ako, pumupunta ako sa mall tours niya, and ginawa ko pa siyang profile picture!”
Now that she is working with her idol, Christine is grateful for the relationship she has built with Maja and the rest of the Crown team.
“Ang nakita ko kasi dito [sa Crown], they will treat you like family. They will really take care of you,” she says with conviction.
Not letting complacency get the best of her, Christine is cooking another venture to channel her energy into. She is now putting up her own business.
Guiding her through this new milestone of hers is her brothers who have always been supportive of their sister.
Before the interview ends, a bonus round is presented to her. Fill in the blanks: I am Christine and I am?
“A Crown Artist,” she answers confidently, ready for the next game.
