While the tide remains high for their home network, ABS-CBN, Bautista and Mendoza are among those very few up-and-coming stars whose bright futures in show businesses have never been more promising.
In case you missed it, Karina Bautista and Aljon Mendoza are currently making waves on social media, for their strong performances in the ongoing primetime television series, Viral Scandal. While that does not surprise me, as both have shown immense potential with their acting debut via the daytime series, Sandugo (2019), their spectacular moments in Viral Scandal are solid proof of their continuing surge as among their generation’s most promising stars.
Both poised to make a name in 2022, the future is bright for Bautista and Mendoza, and their onscreen team-up, known to their devoted fans as ‘KarJon’.
After making a splash with their stint as Pinoy Big Brother Otso housemates, the two showbiz aspirants have embarked on an exciting journey to the limelight. The progress they have pulled off so far is indicative of the more exciting path they are set to take, which may likely catapult them to a higher level of stardom.
As Andeng and Marco, Aljon and Karina indulged their fans in their irresistible chemistry. But it also showed their promising journey to becoming real actors, who would, later on, dominate the local drama scene. They extended the ‘kilig’ vibe through their subsequent projects, including the Pilikula feature, Ghost of the Past, and their charming team-up in Ampalaya Chronicles: Labyu, Hehe and Four Bad Boys and Me.
With Hoy, Love You, the onscreen couple solidified their team-up, which impressed more fans and casual viewers with their overwhelming rapport and flair.
They reprised the roles via the show’s second season. They further explored their characters’ developing dynamics and relationships. It also allowed the audience to see their versatility as they plunge into the world of comedy for the first time.
Despite being relatively new to acting, one can say that this tandem has already showcased incredible acting chops with their young actors’ portfolios.
They set to enrich their artistry, but it’s worth noting that even this early, one can see that they are both destined to see their careers go to unprecedented heights. They share this path with several new stars of ABS-CBN, who would likely become the next banner stars of the Network.
Viral Scandal is a socially relevant and adrenaline-infused heavy drama, their ideal moments to shine and showcase their unbelievable dramatic skills.
To their credit, Bautista and Mendoza are nothing less spectacular. Both can deliver impressive acting so far.
That sort of suggestion is a promising path to success they are both poised to fulfill, one that will see them shine in their brightest under the spotlight.
