Looking at a person and their situation can be viewed in different angles. Looking at what is visible by the eye up to jumping into assumptions based on what is fed to us. For us, we look at it in black and white.
Born on Christmas, Lourna Jane Pujeda Reyes started her career in one of the pillars in Philippines' reality show by GMA, Starstruck. On its second season, LJ ranked as one of the "Final Four" and the rest is history.
She then became one of the network's sought after upcoming actresses with a series of shows lined up for her. "Now and Forever: Mukha" was the beginning of things to come for LJ. She was also seen on the dance floor with fellow Starstuck winners, Ryza Cenon, Mark Herras, Marky Cielo among others. Supporting roles have all been golden for her.
Lead roles came in shortly. From being a villain in Zaido to becoming one of the leading ladies in Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita. Soon, Una Kang Naging Akin happened where Reyes earned praise by critics for her outstanding performance which led to her rising to stardom.
She was recognized as 'Best Supporting Actress' in Cinemalaya 2010 for 'The Leaving' and eventually banking her 'Best Actress' award for 'Ang Anino Sa Likod ng Buwan' in 39th Gawad Urian Awards.

A person's perspective of another individual is nothing compared to how we value ourselves. Every person in our society has their own value. A value that sometimes we tend to underrate ourselves by how others might treat us. But if you look deeper, down to the person's core, you see a hue. A hue that only that person can bring into this society. A Mom, an actress, an entrepreneur, a cover girl, a performer and all the multiple hats she wears, LJ Reyes is a hue worth keeping.
