Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Princess Punzalan is a native of the Philippines, and a respected actor in the local and international entertainment industry with more than 800 appearances on television, film, and radio. She is the daughter of celebrated Philippine broadcasters and producers Helen Vela ("Lovingly Yours, Helen") and Orlando Punzalan.

She has been an actor from the age of ten, when she replaced an ill cast member on the television drama, "Kahapon Lamang." Having proved her natural ability, from that point she was cast in many other TV dramas.

Princess' most famous role was as "Selina," the villain in the long-running Philippine TV series "Mula Sa Puso." Chosen for the part because of her history of underdog, sweet, and gentle character roles, she stunned viewers with her character's malevolence, in particular her now-iconic evil laugh which helped her win Best Actress in a Drama Series. Viewers may love to hate her characters on the screen, but in everyday life she is a loving, caring mother and wife known for her philanthropic activities.

An accomplished executive, she produced three hit television series and starred in "Princess," a weekly drama anthology in the late 80's where she took on various roles every week and established herself as a versatile actor.

Daughter of Orly Punzalan (a broadcaster who was formerly the president
of IBC TV network) and actress/host Helen Vela, now both deceased.

Siblings: Paolo Punzalan, Reuben Hernandez IV, and Meg Punzalan.
Niece: Janina
Nephew: Nate.
