    Perez has been a prominent "figure in the entertainment industry for over thirty years"[2] and is considered as "one of the busiest and most visible television artists in show business."[3] She has won countless accolades including the "Best Female Morning Show Host" at the 6th Paragala Central Luzon Media Awards,[4] “Best Morning Show Host” for Umagang Kay Ganda at the 31st PMPC Star Awards for Television,[5] and “Best Female TV Host” at the 34th PMPC Star Awards for Television.[6] She would then host more ABS-CBN noontime shows, such as Sa Linggo NAPO Sila[7] and its weekday equivalent 'Sang Linggo NAPO Sila.[8] She likewise became part of the hit noontime show Magandang Tanghali Bayan[9][10] and the top-rating tabloid talk show Face 2 Face,[11] including stints on The Singing Bee[12] and the chat show M.R.S. As an actress, she has played roles in several television series and dramas occasionally such as Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan, Gulong Ng Palad, and Only You, as well as the venerable sitcom Palibhasa Lalake.[13]

    Since 2016, Perez has been one of the main hosts of It's Showtime, which marked her comeback as a noontime show host.[14]

    Career

    Perez's earliest big-time gig was co-hosting the noontime variety programs Family Kuarta o Kahon (1986–1990), Eat Bulaga! (1989–1995), Sa Linggo nAPO Sila (1990–1995), 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila (1995–1998), and Magandang Tanghali Bayan from 1998 until she left in 2002. After two years of absence from variety shows, she was chosen to be one of the hosts for the morning talk-variety show M.R.S.

    As an actress, Perez played a variety of roles in television and films. She took the role of Anne in Anak ni Baby Ama and also appeared in Flavor of the Month, starring Joey Marquez and Alma Moreno. In these movies, she was discovered to have much flair for comedy. Perez's performance as Helen in the Robin Padilla-starrer Sa Diyos Lang Ako Susuko is one of the roles for which she received critical acclaim. She also starred in Petrang Kabayo 2: Ang Ganda-Ganda Ko, Palibhasa Lalake, Ipagpatawad Mo, Tigasin and Pera o Bayong (Not da TV). She appeared in television dramas like Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan in which she played the role of Mirriam, Habang Kapiling Ka as Divine Ogata, and Ikaw sa Puso Ko in 2004. Moreover, she appeared in the two episodes of Komiks in 2006: 1. Alpha Omega Girl; 2. Agua Bendita. There was also a segment entitled Kama in a horror flick directed by Jose Javier Reyes Matakot Ka sa Karma in which she took the role of Myrna. She was also a star in an episode of Love Spell: "Shoes ko po, Shoes ko Day!" just last 2007 and she was a character in I've Fallen for You, which she played Ninang Beth. In 2019, Perez became the celebrity endorser of Belo Medical Clinic.[15]

    Personal life

    Perez and musician Brix Ferraris have a son named Adi. She is a cousin of veteran actress Lorna Tolentino. She filed for annulment from Ferraris but was denied by the Supreme Court.[16] Perez then met her current partner, radio host Carlo Castillo. They have a son together born in 2008.[17] In 2012, Perez was confirmed to be 3 months pregnant, her second child to Castillo, and she confirmed that she was to take a 1-year leave from Face to Face.[18]
