Maja Salvador

Maja Salvador is a Filipina actress and commercial model. She is currently under contract with ABS-CBN. She is one of the most promising stars of the elite circle, Star Magic. She is known as the "Dance Princess" of the generation. She is also often called as the "Billboard Princess" because of her several billboards in Manila.

She came from a family of actors and actresses. Her father Ross Rival (1945-2007) (Rosauro Salvador in private life), cousin Jobelle Salvador, late grandfather Lou Salvador.., and late grand-uncle Leroy Salvador were erstwhile actors. Her uncle, Phillip Salvador, is currently one of the more famous actors in the Philippines.


There’s something about a teenaged girl aching for her long-lost dad that moves one’s heart. When ABS-CBN’s Charo Santos-Concio saw Maja Salvador pleading on nationwide TV for a glimpse of her dad Ross Rival, something in the girl’s angelic face tugged at the network executive’s heartstrings. Concio asked her staff to look for Maja.

Thus did Maja Salvador sign up with the Lopez network and was introduced as John Prats’ partner in It Might Be You .

Before that though, Lady Luck was working overtime for the 17-year-old girl from Aparri. Maja met Farrah Ramos, movie columnist-talent manager Chit Ramos’s daughter in a modeling workshop and they became fast friends. Little did Maja know their friendship will lead her, not only to a reunion with her dad, but to a promising career in showbiz, a field her father’s side of the family has been identified with for decades.

Maja confided to Chit that she had long wanted to see her dad, whom she last saw when she was only seven. Maja did not know Chit wrote about showbiz and never suspected her wishful thinking will come true.
