Career

Daniela's career was first launched in 2005 as "Rita De Guzman Iringan" after appearing in QTV's PopStar Kids where competed alongside Julie Anne San Jose and emerged as the first grand champion. [1] [2] Since winning the contest, she has made numerous appearances on different shows on both GMA and QTV (now GTV).

In 2006, she became one of the members of the singing group Sugarpop , a children's group composed of the five finalists of the first season of PopStar Kids, with Enzo Almario, Julie Anne San Jose, Vanessa Rangadhol, and Cholo Bismonte. The musical group appeared regularly on GMA's concert television show SOP Rules until it disbanded in 2010 after the show was reformatted to Party Pilipinas . [1] [3] [4]

Daniela began her acting career in several television dramas of GMA Network as "Rita Iringan." Her first acting project was a supporting role in the 2007 action-adventure drama Asian Treasures as Charlene. She later changed her screen name to "Rita de Guzman," using the surname of her maternal grandfather. [5] She gained recognition for her "kontrabida" roles in the dramas Mundo Mo'y Akin and Villa Quintana in 2013, as well as in Impostora in 2017.

In 2015, she was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" in the 63rd FAMAS Awards for her role in the film Asintado. [1] After deciding to focus on her singing career and signing with GMA Records (now GMA Music), she changed her screen name to Rita Daniela. [5] She released her self-titled debut album on April of the same year.

In 2018, after taking a temporary break from acting in dramas, Daniela starred in a theatrical role as Anna in Eto Na! Musikal nAPO!, a jukebox musical based on the band APO Hiking Society's songs. [6]

Daniela starred in My Special Tatay as Susan "Aubrey" Palomares alongside Ken Chan from 2018 until 2019, wherein she also sung the theme song. Her role later further rose her to prominence for her versatility as an actress. Daniela and Chan's on-screen partnership subsequently spawned the love team "BoBrey," a portmanteau of their characters' names in the drama, [7] which then became "RitKen," a portmanteau of their first names. Daniela and Chan won for "Best Lead Performance (in a TV Series)" and the "German Moreno Power Tandem Award" in the 17th Gawad Tanglaw Awards and 33rd PMPC Star Awards for Television respectively.

In 2018, she revealed that she considered quitting acting to focus as a full-time college student. She temporarily took a break from the entertainment industry some time in between 2015 and 2018. A film student at the time, Daniela struggled to balance her career and education as she was working on her scholarship at Saint Benilde and felt that her studies interfered with her connection with her co-stars. [11] She was encouraged to return by Gina Alajar, a fellow actress and renowned television director, who also directed Let the Love Begin in which Daniela starred in. [6]
