Filipino actress Xyriel Manabat began her career as child actress after finishing third runner-up in the talent search program Star Circle Kid Quest.[1] After playing several appearances in a number of television programs, she had her breakthrough role in the 2010 fantasy drama series Agua Bendita.[2] The same year, she played the title character in the fantasy drama series Momay and played a supporting role in the series Noah.[3][4] In late 2010, Manabat made her screen debut at age 6 as Monay Montecillo in the dramedy Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na 'To!). Her portrayal received praises from the critics, earning her accolades for Best Child Actress at the FAMAS Awards, Movie Child Performer of the Year at the PMPC Star Awards for Movies and Best Child Performer at the Metro Manila Film Festival.[5][6]
Further success followed with the dramedy film Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! and gained wider recognition for her role as young Anna Manalastas in the Christian drama series 100 Days to Heaven alongside Coney Reyes.[7] For her performance, she earned a number of accolades including Best Child Performer at the PMPC Star Awards for Television, Most Popular Female Child Performer at the Box Office Entertainment Awards and Best Performance by an Actress at the Gawad Tanglaw Awards among others. During this period, Manabat also appeared in television programs such as Ikaw ang Pag-ibig (2011) and a string of episodes in the anthologies Maalaala Mo Kaya and Wansapanataym. In 2011, she starred in two films: the crossover sequel Enteng ng Ina Mo and the family drama A Mother's Story.[8] For the latter, she scored her second FAMAS for Best Child Actress and starred in her first horror project Amorosa the following year, which also earned Manabat her third nomination for Best Child Actress at the FAMAS.[9]
In films, Manabat was cast in a number of blockbuster films such as 24/7 in Love (2012), Sisterakas (2012) and Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy (2013).[10][11] Manabat also appeared in several television programs such as Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw (2013) and Hawak Kamay (2014), as well as young versions of the lead in The Legal Wife (2014), Ikaw Lamang (2014) and Wildflower (2017).[12] After a six-year hiatus, she made her acting comeback in 2023 through the television series Dirty Linen and Senior High.[13][14]
