Long before we had Kathryn Bernardo, Nadine Lustre, Liza Soberano, Maine Mendoza, and other popular female stars these days, gentlemen went crazy over these eight ‘90s Pinay crushes. So guys, let’s make way for the ‘90s Filipina crushes of our childhood.
1Jodi Sta. Maria
Needless to say, Jodi Sta. Maria still got it! This sophisticated actress’ showbiz career started to blossom when she became a mainstay of the popular youth-oriented show, Tabing Ilog. With her great acting prowess, she continues to shine as one of ABS-CBN’s brightest stars. Now, she’s a proud mother to Thirdy and a successful businesswoman.
2Antoinette Taus
Remember Anna Karenina and Honey My Love So Sweet? Oh, we bet you’ve watched these shows of Antoinette Taus in the ‘90s. Paired with Dingdong Dantes, their love team was pretty much the KathNiel of that generation. Imagine how popular this pair was! Guess all the boys out there swooned over this chica back then.
3Jolina Magdangal
“Yes, kaibigan mo ‘ko. Kaibigan mo lang ako! And that’s all I ever was to you, Ned, your best friend!” Sure, you uttered that line dramatically! Jolina Magdangal is arguably one of the cutest ‘90s Filipina crushes. Her pairing with Marvin Agustin has made thousands of Filipinos kilig, which resulted to a number of shows and movies, including Labs Kita… Okey Ka Lang? where that famous line mentioned above came from. Jolina is now married to Mark Escueta and they’re blissfully living with their son, Pele Iñigo.
4Kaye Abad
Anyone here become a fan of Eds-Rovic team-up? We bet you did! Another Tabing Ilog main cast, Kaye Abad has made all the boys fall in love with her simplicity and natural beauty. And just last year, she got married to Paul Jake Castillo and has joyfully announced recently that she’s pregnant!
5Anne Curtis

GMA and made a big shift to ABS-CBN. Not to mention, she’s now engaged to no less than Erwan Heusaff himself!
