Mika De La Cruz, Sister Of Angelika, Plays Villain To Julia Barretto, Niece Of Claudine

MIKA DE LA CRUZ is the half sister of Kapuso actress Angelika de la Cruz as they have the same mom. She started as a child star and is best known as the daughter of Maricel Soriano in Chito Rono’s thriller “T2”. She’s now 15 years old and plays villain to Julia Barretto in “Mira Bella” that starts airing on Monday at 6 PM.

“Ako yung leader ng mean girls sa school namin na umaapi kay Julia kasi yung balat niya, parang balat ng puno,” she says. “But later on, it’ll be revealed na half sisters pala kami kasi we have the same dad, James Blanco. Si Dimples Romana ang mom niya and my mom is Mylene Dizon na siyang sumumpa sa kanilang mag-ina kaya naging wood-like ang skin nila. I found my role very challenging kasi hindi lang kontrabida kundi flirty pa, malandi, e hindi naman ako ganun, kasi in real life, mas boyish ako. So nagtanong ako sa Ate Angelika ko dahil marami na siyang nagawang kontrabida roles. Lagi akong galit dito kay Julia, e in real life hindi ako marunong magalit so I remembered the times when I was being bullied in school at nagalit ako. Mahirap din ang scenes na kailangan kong saktan si Julia kasi ayoko talagang masaktan siya.”

She’s paired with Sam Concepcion in “Mira Bella”. “Masaya kami sa set, kahit malayo age namin kasi 21 na siya at 15 lang ako. Marami kaming teen stars dito as mean girls and bullies kaya masaya kasi kulitan sa taping.”
Her role model as an actress is her own Ate Angelika. “Kasi versatile siya, kahit ano, kayang gawin, comedy man o drama, bida o kontrabida. Ang dream ko is magkasama sana kaming dalawa in one show balang araw, kahit Kapuso siya’t Kapamilya ako.”
