StarStruck Journey
In 2014, Mariano auditioned for the return of the new season of the reality-based artista search StarStruck. She was one of the "Top 35" hopefuls who were selected to advance in the next round called the "Bootcamp". It is this phase where the hopefuls face 4 stages: The first stage was the Talent Showcase round wherein they presented to the judges the talents they are most comfortable at. The next stage is the Workshops followed by the Screen Test and lastly, the final stage for the semifinal round is the Director's Night wherein the Top 35 semifinalists faced different well-known directors of the industry to give their opinions and critiques and deliberate who would advance to the next round.
The next round was the door, where the hopefuls would determine whether or not they will still continue on with their StarStruck journey. Mariano was one of the hopefuls to receive the “Congratulations” message, meaning they will now go through the next round. The live show episode of the season then later revealed about the Top 28 Survivors. The Survivors were divided into two groups, the '"Dream 14" and the '"Believe 14". Mariano was chosen to be part of the Dream 14.[4]
After revealing the two teams, they will now compete for the coveted "Ultimate Final 14". Mariano was one of the seven chosen girls to be part of the Final 14.[5]
