Today's featured article Liza Soberano (born January 4, 1998) is an American and Filipino actress. Her accolades include a FAMAS Award, a Star Award, and six Box Office Entertainment Awards. She began her career as a model, before her television debut in the fantasy anthology series Wansapanataym (2011). She achieved wider recognition for starring in the second season of Got to Believe (2014) and Forevermore (2014), the latter of which marked the first of her collaborations with actor Enrique Gil. Soberano found commercial successes in several romantic films, winning the Box Office Entertainment Award for Box Office Queen for My Ex and Whys (2017). Attempting to shed her image as an on-screen couple with Gil, she sought roles in other genres, before pursuing an acting career in Hollywood with Lisa Frankenstein (2024). Soberano has been described by media publications as one of the most beautiful Filipino actresses of her generation. She is vocal about gender equality, women's rights, and mental health.
