Andrea Elizabeth Torres (born May 4, 1990 in Manila, Philippines) also known as Andrea Torres is a Filipina actress, host and commercial model. She is currently an exclusive contract artist of GMA Network.
Background
She was first seen as one of the contestants in ABS-CBN's teen-oriented reality show Qpids in 2005. In 2008, she transferred to ABS-CBN's rival network GMA and became one of the hosts of the now-defunct youth-oriented magazine show, Ka-Blog! She was also part of some drama and hit movies such as You To Me Are Everything, a Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera starrer, and Shake, Rattle & Roll X.[1]
When Ka-Blog! went off the air, Torres concentrated for a while in her studies, taking up Communication Arts at the University of Santo Tomas, and in commercial modelling. On March 8, 2011, Torres signed a three-year exclusive contract with GMA Network.[2] Two months later, she landed a part in the afternoon drama series Blusang Itim.
It helped that she had joined extracurricular activities while in school. She performed during assemblies, acted in plays, attended leadership conventions, even volunteered to read Bible verses during Masses. She was also in the volleyball team. When she was younger she took up ballet lessons. She tried everything that could help her express herself as an artist.
On July 30, 2012, GMA Network announced that Torres, together with Mikael Daez, will reprise the roles of Cecilia Fulgencio and Carlos Miguel Altamonte, respectively, for Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga, a 2012 remake based on the 2002 popular teledrama of the same name.[3][4] The said roles were originally portrayed by Tanya Garcia and Dingdong Dantes, respectively.
