Career

In 2017, De Rossi co-starred in the romantic comedy film Kita Kita , starring alongside comedian Empoy Marquez. The film eventually became the highest-grossing Filipino independent film of all time, earning ₱300 million (approximately US$5.88 million) within three weeks of its release. Due to the movie's popularity, Philippine entertainment media sources dubbed their pairing as "AlEmpoy". [2]

After her successful portrayal in Kita Kita, De Rossi pledged not to accept antagonist roles anymore in either television and feature films. [3] De Rossi returned to Viva when she signed exclusive contract with Viva Artists Agency and made her film production business co-ventured by Viva Films named AWOO, acronym of "A World of Our Own"; her first movie Magic Kingdom was produced & released by Viva Films in 1997. [4]

She and Marquez returned as a love team in the 2023 film, Walang KaParis, produced by Viva Films. [5]
