Apart from being the second half of the groundbreaking and one of ABS-CBN's prime loveteams "EchoTin" (with Jericho Rosales), she has also been referred as one of the network's blockbuster queens, noted for having the "talent, commercial pull, and magic all combined to seize box-office."[3] Among her most notable works is the film, Forevermore (2002) which is deemed as "one of the sweetest, biggest films of all time."[3] In 2003, Ngayong Nandito Ka was released.

It prove to be a bigger success, grossing ₱175 million.[4] The same year, she teamed up with Vic Sotto in Enteng Kabisote: OK Ka Fairy Ko... The Legend (2004), the first installment of the highly successful Enteng Kabisote film series.

She went on to reprise her role as "Faye" in the succeeding four installments of the Enteng Kabisote film series up until 2007. The second among them, Enteng Kabisote 2: Okay Ka Fairy Ko... The Legend Continues! (2005) was a box-office success, earning ₱158 million domestically, hailing her as the "Box-Office Queen" at the 2005 GMMSF Box Office Entertainment Award.[5] She took an indefinite hiatus in 2010 to focus on her family with Oyo Sotto.
