Manila, Philippines – From being a celebrated actress to a rising entrepreneur, Rhian Ramos continues to evolve, now making waves as a business owner of her startup, Bas Cakes.
Already known for her work as an actress, commercial model, host, and race car driver, Rhian’s entry into the baking industry highlights her ambition to expand beyond showbiz.
A Passion for Acting and Business
Rhian starred in the advocacy film When the World Met Probinsyana, which premiered simultaneously in Iloilo, Bacolod, and Cebu—a first for a Philippine movie. Despite a demanding schedule, she gracefully engaged with provincial audiences, winning hearts wherever she went.
The film, inspired by Teletech CEO Marge Aviso’s true story, showcases Rhian’s range as she plays a provincial lass overcoming challenges to build a successful BPO empire—a storyline that now parallels her own entrepreneurial journey.
The Role Another Actress Missed Out On
Interestingly, Rhian wasn’t the first choice for the Probinsyana role. A veteran actress—known for her Filipino features and fluency in vernacular—was initially considered but never responded to the offer, despite repeated follow-ups.
This waiting game left producers scrambling until Rhian, impressed by the script, immediately committed to the role, adjusting her schedule to accommodate filming.
With her rising presence in both showbiz and business, Rhian’s latest venture proves she’s more than just an actress—she’s a visionary with a growing empire.
