She began her career starring in Lovingly Yours: The Movie (1984) and Lovingly Yours, Helen (1992-96) [4] and was nominated of PMPC Star Awards for Television in 1987. Her profile continued to grow when she starred as antagonist Selina Pereira-Matias in Mula sa Puso (1997–99) with Claudine Barretto, [5] and won Best Actress in 1998.

Soon after she was launched in her own afternoon TV drama anthology entitled "Princess" in 1987 which was produced by her mom Helen Vela's production outfit Hyper Vision. To avoid a possible collision with RPN's Coney Reyes on Camera (headline by her mom's best friend Coney), her drama anthology was aired at a later timeslot.
While her TV career began to be successful, she also branched out into making films. She made her mark in the film Kung Tapos Na ang Kailanman (shown in 1990) which gave her a FAMAS nomination for Best Actress.

The show made waves and even received 2 awards for Best Comedy Show at Star Awards. But with the untimely death of its main star Helen Vela caused the show to gradually decline until it was cancelled. Soon after, Princess filled in the void left by her mother (as producer-host/actress) in the drama anthology Lovingly Yours, Helen which was renamed Lovingly Yours. The reformatted drama anthology survived for four more years until it was ended by the GMA management in 1996.
She became popular for her role as antagonist Selina Pereira-Matias in the 1997 hit TV series Mula sa Puso starring Claudine Barretto, aired in ABS-CBN. [5]
In the later 2000s, she transferred back to GMA and did supporting/main roles. One of her last TV series as a series regular was Kung Mawawala Ka a political drama on primetime airing on GMA Network which garnered attention at the time of its back to back battle with the drama series Pangako Sa 'Yo .
She returned to film as co-teacher and Mila's best friend in Mila played by Maricel Soriano.
