Sparkle star Mika Salamanca continues to make waves following her win as GMA’s first-ever Big Winner in Pinoy Big Brother: Collab Celebrity Edition with her on-screen partner, Brent Manalo. Her career shows no signs of slowing down, with magazine covers, endorsement shoots, a new single, a movie, and a TV series all lined up—while she still carves time to pursue her personal advocacies.

Recently, Mika and Brent dropped their latest single “What If Tayo?”—a project that further strengthens their post-PBB partnership. This came after the success of Mika’s rendition of “Sino Nga Ba Sya,” which reached over 500,000 streams across major audio platforms in less than a month.

Adding to her milestones, Mika is also preparing for her big-screen debut through the upcoming MMFF 2025 entry “Call Me Mother.” Apart from that, she is set to reunite with her fellow PBB housemates in “The Secrets of Hotel 88,” a fresh collaboration between GMA Network and ABS-CBN Studios.

From one opportunity to another, Mika Salamanca proves that she’s not just booked and busy—she’s thriving with purpose.

An advocate for mental health, Mika also released her first-ever children’s book, “Lipad,” which aims to inspire and encourage self-belief. She hopes to deliver the message not only to the younger audiences but to all the people who dream of rising above fear, embracing their truth, and taking flight toward the life they deserve. Proceeds from book sales are dedicated to supporting charities and outreach activities for those in need.

In her recent interviews, Mika expressed deep gratitude for all the love and support she receives, saying it fuels her drive to dream big for her family. Now, with both mainstream and online success, Mika is more determined to continue growing and being a positive influence to her supporters. Beyond being the face of big brands, she ensures that she is not the only one benefiting – part of her brand deals includes donating appliances to cancer patients and the elderly in home care.

To continue honing her craft, Mika diligently attends singing and acting workshops. For balance, she also dedicates time to writing and painting, even converting one of the rooms in her condo into a workstation for her artwork, which she plans to release soon. 

Mika’s newfound success feels more than just a breakthrough–it’s a rebirth. And she is now fully embracing the life she was meant to live.
