Career

Roces was a contract star of Seiko Films from 1994 to 1996, introduced initially as "Ana Maceda". After her years with Seiko, she appeared in the film Ligaya Ang Itawag Mo Sa Akin by Reyna Films, which paved the way for her transition to "serious acting".^[3]

Roces ventured into hosting by serving as a replacement for Dawn Zulueta on GMA Network's Startalk. Roces hosted the show until 2004, after a misunderstanding between her and her manager-friend Lolit Solis.^[4] She left GMA Network for ABS-CBN. Roces also acted on TV, appearing in shows such as 1 for 3^[5] with Vic Sotto and Charlene Gonzales from 1997 to 2001 and Daboy en Da Girl with Rudy Fernandez from 2002 to 2003.^[6]

She was also part of ABS-CBN's Sineserye Presents: Natutulog Ba ang Diyos? as Patria and appeared in the soap opera Ysabella as Rosario and Maging Sino Ka Man: Ang Pagbabalik as Veronica Rubio.^[7] She also appeared in the finale episode of Tayong Dalawa on September 25, 2009, on ABS-CBN.^[8]

In January 2010, MTRCB suspended It's Showtime after Roces‘ insensitive comments about the teachers as “repeaters”. It's Showtime was given a 20-day preventive suspension by the board. Roces was removed as a judge of the show by ABS-CBN on January 8, 2010, as part of the network's self-regulation.^[9]

Personal life

Roces was a supporter of the Kingdom Filipina Hacienda group, having appointed by its self-styled queen Salvacion Legaspi in 2015 as the "Ambassadress and Liaison of the Crown". Legaspi and her group has claimed "ownership" of the Philippines.^[10]
