After high school graduation, Eda went back to Manila to undergo training and workshop in acting, singing and dancing. That lasted for six months. After the training, Eda patiently waited for an offer. Getting bored and feeling it was not just her time yet, she decided to go back to Cebu. And just when she made up her mind to pursue her studies, she got a call asking her to audition for the sitcom Let's Go. This time, she got picked. [1]
