Cristine Reyes

Career

Film and television

Reyes' on-camera career began when she was a finalist in the first season of GMA Network's reality talent show StarStruck. She later appeared in several GMA Network scripted series, including Mulawin (2004), Darna (2005), and Marimar (2007).

In 2008, she moved to rival network ABS-CBN, where she took on more mature roles in television series such as Eva Fonda (2008) and Tubig at Langis (2016). In 2009, Reyes appeared in the horror film Patient X.

Reyes' transition into film began in 2011 with No Other Woman, where she portrayed a betrayed wife opposite Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsay. The film became one of the highest-grossing Filipino films of the year. Recognized as one of the "New Drama Royalty" of her generation, Reyes won the Box Office Queen award alongside Anne Curtis at the 43rd Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation's (GMMSF) Box Office Entertainment Awards. Reyes received four FAMAS Award nominations, including three for Best Actress. In 2020, she won Best Actress at the 40th Oporto International Film Festival for her performance in the psychological thriller Untrue (2019).

In 2020, following the ABS-CBN network shutdown, Reyes returned to GMA Network.

In 2022, Reyes portrayed Imee Marcos in the historical drama Maid in Malacañang. She reprised the role in the 2023 sequel, Martyr or Murderer.

In 2024, she reappeared on the former ABS-CBN time slot, this time in the show It's Showtime, which was broadcast simultaneously across All TV, Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, GMA, and GTV. Since then, she has also worked on projects for TV5 following its renewed partnership with Viva.

Reyes' film career is managed by Viva Films.
