Versatile dramatic actress Sunshine Cruz is the latest addition to ALV Talent Circuit’s roster of illustrious talents headed by respected talent manager Arnold Vegafria, who made headlines recently for his trendsetting and epic production of the 2017 Miss World Philippines pageant.
Currently starring in ABS-CBN’s top-rating primetime series Wildflower, the flawless beauty is excited about her latest career move. She says, “I just feel and know that I will be in good hands with Arnold. I know that I have so much more to offer and ALV can bring that out in me.”
It’s no coincidence that the youthful-looking mom is actually following in the footsteps of her eldest daughter and upcoming singer Angelina Cruz, who also signed up with ALV as well as Universal Records last December 2016.
The proud mom shares, “Angelina’s very happy and ALV knows Angelina’s priority which is her studies. Singing comes after. Both Universal and Arnold are both understanding and patient, and I’m thankful for that. She’s really excited with her latest single with Iñigo Pascual titled Paraiso.”
Prior to landing her Wildflower role, Sunshine had already done several teleseryes with ABS-CBN, including Dugong Buhay, Galema (Anak ni Zuma), Pure Love, Oh My G! and Dolce Amore. She also garnered two Best Actress recognitions (Star Awards for TV) for two of her Maalaala Mo Kaya guestings.
Despite her steady stream of ABS-CBN projects, she clarifies that she’s not an exclusive artist.
She points out, “I always get offers and opportunities. I’m not an exclusive artist of ABS-CBN, but they’ve been more than generous to me. Hindi ako nawawalan ng serye with them. Nag-o-overlap pa nga sometimes ang offers.”
Though closely identified with her dramatic portrayals, the mestiza actress still dreams of exploring more fertile acting turf, with villain, kontrabida or mistress roles ranking high in her bucket list. She admits, “I’ve been crying a lot in my series, but I’d really want to challenge myself given the chance. I want people to hate me naman, hindi yung lagi na lang kakaawaan.”
Though not as regular, Sunshine has also dabbled in movies recently.
She recounts, “I did one with Liza and Enrique Gil, Mang Kepweng with Vhong Navarro and one with APT a few years ago. I’ve been focusing more on seryes, then spending my free time with my kids.”
Would she be open to signing up with a movie outfit, such as Regal Films?
She stresses, “I was a Regal baby before. I hope Mother Lily still remembers me. I would love to work with them again soon.”
Given the chance, Sunshine would also love to go back to one of her first loves: singing.
It’s no secret that she hails from a prominent musical clan, and would love to do her share in upholding their legacy. She asserts, “Being a Cruz is a blessing and we Cruzes love to perform and we’re trained to give our best in everything we do.”
It’s amazing how Sunshine has maintained her svelte figure, vibrant charm and age-defying looks despite being a working mom, making her the perfect endorser for health and beauty products. What’s her secret?
She discloses, “Healthy food and I exercise when I have the chance. Three or four times a week of either zumba, spinning or boxing.”
And how does she describe herself as a mom?
“I can be strict, but I can also be a spoiler, Being a single mom is challenging but I’m proud of myself because I know I’m doing great. I reward my kids when they have high grades and I always find time to bond with them,” she beams proudly.
Asked to comment on the current state of her heart, her radiant smile says it all.
“Happy!” she affirms.
