Re-invention. This is how most former child or teen stars explain their transition from sweet to sexy, to offer something new to their audience, to ensure longevity in the business.
Angelica Pangniban, for instance, made a sharp turn from her "kawawa" roles in films when she top-billed "Santa Santita" at age 17. As the cruel and unforgiving Claudia in "Pangako Sa 'Yo," Panganiban is taking on a character that follows a calculated succession of roles in the past decade.

From innocent "alila" Becky, moody teenager Jelai, scorned wife Karyn, to the vengeful and sultry Rubi -- Panganiban, little by little, shed her child star image and took on increasingly daring portrayals.
While Panganiban's transition to a screen bombshell was slow but sure, this wasn't the case with some of her contemporaries, whose own re-invention was drastic and a solo decision and less a premeditated management choice.
