Faith Da Silva takes showbiz by storm

At just 24 years old, Faith Daryl da Silva is proving herself as one of GMA Network’s brightest young talents. Born on April 29, 2001, in Quezon City, Faith entered showbiz through the sixth season of StarStruck. Though she didn’t win, her talent and determination quickly caught the attention of industry insiders, leading her to sign with GMA’s Sparkle talent management in 2015.

Faith’s versatility as a performer has become her signature. In recent years, she has taken on memorable roles: from sci-fi drama Unica Hija(2022), where she played Carnation Marasigan, to fantasy drama Mga Lihim ni Urduja (2023) as Khatun Khublun, and the action-romance Maging Sino Ka Man (2023), in which she portrayed Bettina “Betty” Ramirez. In 2025, Faith captured audiences’ attention as Sang’gre Flamarra in the highly anticipated Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre, earning praise for bringing energy and depth to her role as the fiery keeper of the Brilyante ng Apoy.

Beyond acting, Faith is also making waves in music. In 2022, she released her debut single, Sana Sabihin Mo Na Lang, under GMA Music, and performed Stay, the theme song for the Kapuso mini-series On My Way to You. Her musical talents complement her acting, showing a performer who is not only versatile but also committed to growing her craft.

The daughter of former actor Dennis da Silva and Tina King Da Silva, Faith credits the late director Maryo J. Delos Reyes as a great mentor. The highly-respected TV and film director passed away in January 2018 due to heart attack. In her heartfelt tribute for the late showbiz icon, Faith thanked Direk Maryo for opening the doors for her to enter show business.

“Maraming salamat sa lahat ng pagmamahal, pangaral at gabay na binigay mo sa akin at sa pamilya ko. Hindi lang ako nawalan ng isang direktor kundi pati na rin Ama, bata palang ako nandyan ka na. Naniniwala sa kakayahan ko, na magaling ako, na maaabot ko ang pangarap ko. Kung hindi dahil sa’yo, hindi ako makakapasok sa industriyang ito. Mahal na mahal kita direk.”

From her beginnings on StarStruck to starring in major series and releasing original music, Faith Da Silva is clearly a rising star in Philippine entertainment. With her talent, charisma, and determination, she is a name viewers will continue to follow as she takes on bigger roles and new challenges, solidifying her place among the industry’s promising young stars.
