The actress comes from an emerging generation of women who aren't afraid to take control in shaping their own image. “I think I was only able to establish a unique sense of individuality when I started being myself. I stopped portraying this image na ‘artista ako I should be this, I should be that’. Kung saan ako masaya, dun ako. Hindi na ako nagko-conform sa sinasabi ng society sa akin.” Andrea’s acquired confidence is best reflected through her bold choices in fashion. “My style varies depending on different trends. It also depends on my mood whether I’m feeling girly, loud, boyish, or if I just want something comfy. It's basically a mix of everything that looks good in my eyes. ” A fan of color, Y2K trends, and rocking OOTDs with full confidence — it’s a no-brainer that mega fashion brand, H&M, chose Andrea to be the face of their latest Divided collection. The line features trendy and chic pieces that encourage Gen Z women to fearlessly express themselves, just as Andrea does everyday.

Never one to play it safe, she often goes for bold colors and trendy pieces like those seen in H&M’s latest drop. “Sobrang gusto ko talaga yung matching denim set, yellow pants, and the last layout with the colorful top and skirt. All the pieces from the collection are very me!” For the actress, the best thing about the line is that you can wear it absolutely anywhere! Whether she’s on the set of her latest project or filming another one of her highly-viewed TikTok videos — you can expect Andrea to rock the pieces while injecting her own sense of style. A staple item in the star’s wardrobe would be cargo pants or joggers, which we often see her wear while dancing or performing. No matter how big she gets, her ultimate style icon still remains to be her mom, the first person to teach her to be unafraid of mixing and matching pieces to express herself.

At the age of 18, where most artists are simply beginning their journey in the industry, Andrea has already built a whole empire for herself. Known for roles in popular TV shows like Annaliza and Kadenang Ginto, the star began acting when she was only 7 years old. To say that Andrea was fit for stardom would be an understatement — she was actually born for this. Growing up in the spotlight definitely wasn’t easy, but it trained her to develop a strong sense of self because she was determined to not let anyone dictate how she was going to act or who she was going to be. “I think knowing your worth is very important. If you know your worth, you know when to speak up and you know that you don’t always need to speak up. Syempre, as a public figure meron talagang mga tao diyan na ita-try ka talaga i-bring down. Hindi maiiwasan yon, and I believe na na sa’yo na yun if hahayaan mo sila to succeed.”

She continues to take control by making braver choices in her career and steering away from that teenybopper image. “My roles are becoming more fearless and unapologetic. Now that I’m older, mas madami na akong roles na pwede gampanan, which means I have more room for growth.” No matter what this girl sets her sights on, you already know you can expect nothing less of something great. Because when Andrea goes for it, there’s no doing it halfheartedly.
