Career

Padilla was discovered by ABS-CBN talent scout Jet Valle after the latter saw her on one of her field trips and introduced her to ABS-CBN via Star Magic Batch 15 and adopted the stage name Krista Valle.[3] The same year she got her first TV role in the teen drama Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2.
