KARINA BAUTISTA is from Isabela and she joined the PBB Teens Otso in 2019, where she’s first runner of the first batch.
She then went into acting and played supporting roles in teleseryes like “Sandugo”, “Paano Kita Pasasalamatan”, “Viral Scandal” and “Iron Heart”.
For Iwant, she did series like “Hoy, Love You” and “Love You, He He”, where she is paired with her PBB batchmate Aljon Mendoza. She will soon also start taping for a new teleserye. “Di Tayo Bagay”.
She turned 21 years old on April 29 and despite her work in showbiz, she continues to go to school at Enderun College where she is a scholar.

“My classes are only on Tuesday and Wednesday,” she says. “Whole day po yun and they schedule my taping pag wala akong school. Kung minsan, kulang po ako sa tulog, galing sa taping, but kaya naman.”
She is happy to be hosting “The Chosen One, Chugi Night” on PIE Channel with Jameson Blake. “We’re comfortable with each other na kasi we’ve worked na before in ‘Viral Scandal’,” she adds.
