Andrea Elizabeth Torres popularly known as Andrea Torres (born May 4, 1990) is a Filipino television, movie and stage actress, host and commercial model. She was born May 4, 1990 in Manila, Philippines. She is currently working as an exclusive talent of GMA Network.
Background
She was first seen as one of the contestants in ABS-CBN's teen-oriented reality show, Qpids in 2005 and in 2008 she transferred to GMA and became one of the hosts of the now defunct youth-oriented magazine show, Ka-Blog!. She was also part of some Drama and hit movies such as You To Me Are Everything, a Dingdong Dantes & Marian Rivera starrer and Shake, Rattle & Roll X.[1]
When Ka-Blog! went off the air, Torres concentrated for a while in her studies [she's taking up Communication Arts in University of Santo Tomas] and in commercial modelling.
March 8, 2011, Andrea Torres signed a three-year exclusive contract with GMA Network.[2] Two months later, she landed a part in the afternoon drama series Blusang Itim.
It helped that she had joined extracurricular activities while in school. She performed during assemblies, acted in plays, attended leadership conventions, even volunteered to read Bible verses during Masses. She was also in the volleyball team. When she was younger she took up ballet lessons. She tried everything that could help her express herself as an artist.
On July 30, 2012, GMA Network announces that Torres together with Mikael Daez will reprise the role of Cecilia Fulgencio and Carlos Miguel Altamonte [which originally played by Tanya Garcia and Dingdong Dantes], respectively, for the 2012 remake of the 2002 popular teledrama Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga.[3][4]
