Included in the Top 10 Filipino Child Stars

N0 1 ~ Xyriel Anne Bustamante Manabat (born on January 27, 2004) is a Filipina child actress. She joined Star Circle Quest: Search for the Next Kiddie Idol in 2009 and became the 3rd runner up. It served as her stepping stone as she plays different minor roles on various TV shows after that. However, Xyriel's fame greatly rose when she portrayed the young Agua and Bendita which lasted for almost 2 months. She starred on her own show titled, Momay. After Momay concluded, she appeared in another TV show, Noah. On December 26, 2010, Manabat won Best Child Actress of the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival for the film Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na 'To!).

NO 5 ~ Mona Louise Rey is one-third of GMA-7’s prime-time show, Munting Heredera, where she stars with fellow Kapuso child stars Barbara Miguel and Kyle Danielle Ocampo. The child star was discovered by a talent agent and GMA-7 only added Louise Rey to her real name. With director Maryo J. de los Reyes’s help, Rey’s natural acting was honed enough to sustain the high ratings of the evening soap. Aside from that, the child star also endorses products and engages in part-time modeling.

NO 8 ~ Bugoy Cariño  is Filipino child actor. He joined Star Circle Kid Quest: Search for the Next Kiddie Idol in 2009 and placed in first place. He starred on his own television series titled E-Boy. He appears in children gag show Goin' Bulilit.
