There’s a certain kind of actor we recognize across the different shows and movies we watch—those who we don’t really follow the career trajectory of, but we know that when they show up on screen, they’ll deliver. Sometimes, we’re familiar with their name (or not at all), but when we first see them do their thing, we leave with a newfound appreciation for their talent.
Loisa Andalio is one of those kinds of artists for many. The young actor has been around for a while now, working from the ground up and dedicating herself to every role and performance. For many of us, Loisa needs no introduction, but we’re here to remind you again why she is not to be slept on. With her recent performances in rom-com Ex Ex Lovers (2025) and e-sports drama Friendly Fire (2024), Loisa’s star is rising more than ever before while still being that girl as one of her generation’s biggest names. Check out a few reasons why she deserves to be given her flowers and be acknowledged for how well she does with the opportunities she’s given.
SHE’S BEEN HUSTLING

Loisa’s been on the scene for over a decade now, starting out as a singer, dancer, and member of girl group 3G. She then became a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: All In (2014), almost making it to the Big 4. She was also the leader of short-lived ASAP girl group BFF5, which also included Maris Racal, Ylona Garcia, Andrea Brillantes, Kira Balinger, and Elisse Joson, as well as a member of GirlTrends.
Loisa’s had roles in James and Pat and Dave (2020), Love In 40 Days (2022), Pira-Pirasong Paraiso (2023-2024), and more. She’s been acting, singing, and dancing nonstop for the last decade or so, showing great potential every time she’s on screen.
SHE SHINES IN ‘EX EX LOVERS’
Loisa’s most recent role is SC on Ex Ex Lovers, the daughter of separated spouses Ced (Marvin Agustin) and Joy (Jolina Magdangal). SC is newly-engaged and trying to navigate a coupled-up life with her fiancé Joey (Juan Karlos Labajo), whose parents are a tad too controlling, all while also trying to get her parents to reconcile.
Loisa is her usual effervescent self, charming and sweet, with great banter and chemistry with Marvin and Jolina. She also delivers during the heavier, more emotional scenes, making us empathetic to her as a daughter, partner, and headstrong young woman who knows her worth. She’s become a standout in the film to many, and goes toe-to-toe with the legendary loveteam.
WE LOVE A NATURAL, PLAYFUL ACTOR

We love an actor with great timing, genuine emotion, and versatility. From Past, Present, Perfect? (2019) with Elijah Canlas, where they’re equally charming actors, to her recent film Friendly Fire (2024), Loisa plays her characters very well. She channels emotion with a deft hand, engaging and fun to watch whether she’s being comedic or being intense.
I completely agree! Especially the mag-ina, the performances make the mother-daughter bond feel so authentic on-screen, as if these characters have shared a lifetime together. That kind of authenticity spark. So good. Bravo, Jolina Magdangal and Loisa Andalio! @iamAndalioLoisa 💕 https://t.co/F1eBwuUcpB

For her performance in Friendly Fire and Ex Ex Lovers, Loisa was praised for her authenticity and skill, too. Leading lady material! She’s a far cry from the young PBB housemate that plenty of people know her as. More people now have her on their radars—as they should. Get her booked and busy, stat!
SHE’S A WHOLE VIBE

Besides being a good actress, Loisa’s also a whole vibe—no wonder she can take on playful, charming, comedic characters well! It’s always fun to stan talented young actors who also seem like they can be a fun friend, and from being a good PBB housemate (enough to almost get her in the semifinals), to being an impressive volleyball team captain, Loisa commits to all the things she does—and it’s paying off.
