Carla Abellana

GMA-7 announced on Feb. 2 that a new star is born in the person of Carla Abellana who will star in the Pinoy Version of the hit telenovela, “Rosalinda.” Carla Abellana is the 20-year-old daughter of ’80s heartthrob Rey “PJ” Abellana.

Before this, Carla Abellana has been known to dabble into showbiz appearing in TV commercials, notable of which is her Palmolive commercial. She is said to be dating cager JC Intal of the Barangay Ginebra Kings of the Philippine Basketball Association. JC Intal previously played for Air21 Express and the Ateneo de Manila University. Carla Abellana is a graduate of De La Salle University-Manila majoring in Psychology. Aside from this GMA 7 major Philippine Showbiz breakthrough, Carla Abellana also signed a 12-movie contract with Regal Entertainment.

So with this news, all speculations as to Angel Locsin playing Rosalinda on ABS-CBN has now been put to rest since GMA-7 had earlier announced that it had bought the rights to Marimar and Rosalinda respectively. Many believed that after that GMA 7 declaration, the Pinoy Rosalinda project would be given to Marian Rivera but GMA 7 bigwigs apparently have other plans.

So, will Carla Abellana equal or even surpass what Marian Rivera has attained so far? Just like her (meaning an unknown), Marian was a bit player in many GMA 7 soaps before getting the breakthrough role of Marimar.
