Locsin was born on April 23, 1985 in Santa Maria, Bulacan. Since the age of 14, she
has lived with her father, Angelo Colmenares, and has had no contact with her
mother.[why?][citation needed] She studied at St James College in Quezon City for
her primary education and finished high school at the University of Santo Tomas
High School in Manila. In August 2007, she attended a short-course for fashion
design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Despite being
of Christian faith, she is a part of a Muslim Royal Family in Marawi City in the
province of Lanao del Sur through her mother.[clarification needed]

Early work (2001�2004)

Locsin was discovered at a shopping center by a talent scout.[1] She then
auditioned for several commercials and was supposed to be a part of ABS-CBN's Star
Circle Batch 9, but failed to sign a contract because her father opposed the idea.
[citation needed] Later, she became a contract star of GMA Artist Center, first
appearing on the second season of the teen-oriented series, Click and was also
included in the cast of Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw.[citation needed]

Breakthrough and GMA Network (2004�2007)

In August 2004, Locsin starred in the fantasy-themed TV series Mulawin, alongside
Richard Gutierrez, wherein she portrayed, "Alwina", one of the two main
protagonists.[1] The show was a huge success and received high ratings until its
finale on March 2005.[1][4]

Following the success of Mulawin, Locsin was cast in the title role as Darna in the
2005 fantasy-themed TV series of the same name. The show was also highly regarded
by the public, gaining immensely high ratings and surpassing the records set by her
previous TV show. Darna's pilot week average is 50.08% and its highest rating was
52.1% while the lowest was 33.3%.

Locsin starred in another fantasy-themed TV series, Majika, together with Dennis

Trillo, which was aired from March to September 2006. She played the role of
Sabina, a seemingly ordinary girl who lived in the world of mortals but is
unknowingly the one destined to become the most powerful female magician.
Afterwards, she was cast in Asian Treasures, opposite Robin Padilla. It was the
first Philippine TV series that was shot in multiple countries such as Mongolia,
Thailand and China. The show was aired from January to June 2007. Both shows were
also well received.[1]

work, Lobo, together with John Lloyd Cruz. It was directed by Chito Ro�o. The shows

she guested in La Luna Sangre as Lia.
