Actress and former housemate of Pinoy Big Brother Loisa Andalio are swiftly transitioning from a side hustle to a full-fledged career. Loisa, or Lois, as her followers refer to her, was thrust into the spotlight as part of the 24/7, Orwellian-inspired reality show at age 15. She has essentially grown up in front of the camera. Although local teen idols often have similar stories, Loisa stands out for her openness and wit.
Despite having just turned 18, Loisa still exudes the youthful exuberance that is clear in how she behaves. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t faced difficulties in her life. Loisa was a member of the all-girl group 3G before she entered the PBB House, which performed at fiestas and mall performances.
She has always admired performers and cites the teen TV drama Princess and me as one of her earliest favorites. “My parents supported me when I wanted to pursue a career in show business because they knew it was my passion. I used to copy everything I watched on TV back then,” she recalled. “Now that I’m one of those performers I used to look up to on television, my life has greatly improved.”
Being the family’s primary provider is one of Loisa’s most challenging responsibilities as the middle child of four siblings. It also seems to be the most satisfying sensation based on how she describes it. Apart from a cellphone, she bought one shortly after PBB. The actress claims she has quit buying for herself entirely. She may also say that her current main priority is furnishing the new home she bought for her family.
Loisa admits that although working in the industry propelled her into maturity at a younger age than most, this wasn’t the most challenging part of her journey. “I had no problems during my five years in show business. It possibly only hurt. The truth is that they want to control you. “How you act and how you dress.” The only challenge is that I’m simply doing what comes naturally to me. “My Papa always encouraged me not to forget to pray, not to be proud of others, just put your foot on the ground. Even now, I haven’t taken a shower when I leave the mall. I don’t feel like people know me well,” she says of her unwavering sense of self.
Fans can soon see Loisa in Pat in theaters. Millions of teenagers seem to be copying the actress’ every action now that she is the girl in front of the camera instead of the idolizing fangirl in front of the TV. She no longer only provides for her family’s needs financially; she also occupies the unpleasant job of a role model. Is there any pressure on her? She did, however, claim that she still wears no makeup when she is in public and that she wanted her followers to emulate her come-as-you-are attitude when they read her posts.
