Roxanne Guinoo Profile

Monday, July 21, 2008 |


Filipina actress Roxanne Guinoo was born in Rosario, Cavite on February 14, 1986 to Bernardo Guinoo and Ana Bosch. She was the youngest in a brood of four girls. She was overprotected and sheltered. She even recalled a time when she cried because she was not allowed to go to a fast food chain along with her friends. She attended college at De La Salle University Dasmariñas.

Roxanne mentioned that when she was in high school, she auditioned for a drama club called Teatro. She passed, but her parents stopped her from joining Teatro.

She auditioned for Star Circle Quest in SM Bicutan with her sister to accompany her.


She first appeared in the first season of ABS-CBN's teen edition of Star Circle Quest. It was said that she resembled former beauty queen and Filipina actress/host Charlene Gonzalez and that she has the makings of the next soap opera princess. They said that aside from having dramatic talent, she had very leading-lady features and striking TV presence.

She was paired up with fellow Star Circle Teen Questor Joross Gamboa during the competition, and their pair was dubbed "JoRox". The two of them were part of the contest's Final 5 or "Fab 5" along with Melissa Ricks, Sandara Park and Hero Angeles. Roxanne finished as second runner-up, with Sandara being the first runner-up and Hero winning the competition.

After the first season of Star Circle Quest, Roxanne, along with the nine other finalists of SCQ, appeared in SCQ Reload wherein she played Roxanne Roxas, the sister of RJ Martinez and Errol Abalayan and half-sister of Hero Angeles in the series.

After SCQ Reload, she then appeared in the hit drama series Gulong ng Palad with her loveteam Joross Gamboa. She also appeared in many other ABSCBN shows. She can currently be seen co-hosting the show At Home Ka Dito along with look-alike Charlene Gonzalez and loveteam Joross Gamboa.

Guinoo is a member of ABS-CBN's elite circle of homegrown talents properly named Star Magic.

Roxanne says that she had a sense of freedom upon joining SCQ. She was finally allowed to go wherever she wanted.

Given that she came from an overprotected family, Roxanne has never had a boyfriend until she entered SCQ.

Her first date was actually during the competition, wherein she was set up to be in a date with Filipino actor Juddah Paolo.

Her first boyfriend was love team partner Joross Gamboa. Their relationship lasted for more than a year, finally ending in late 2006. Roxanne claims to have been heartbroken after the breakup, but eventually recovered. The two of them remain good friends.
