Apparently, <em>galing pala ito sa</em> YT (YouTube) or socmed <em>ni Nanay </em>Bambie (Mika&#x27;s mom) and the reason why <em>may ganung</em> videos <em>e sine</em>-send<em> nila para kay Nanay</em>,&quot; Jan said in a Facebook post on July 12, 2025.</p><p>&quot;During that time <em>kasi abroad na si Nanay at nasa Pilipinas sina </em>Mika. So <em>para &#x27;di mangulila si Nanay e pinapadalhan lagi nila ng</em> videos <em>para maaliw at mapangiti ito</em>,&quot; he explained.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vibP1Tr_8bw?si=gY9dLY1DJPysT4Ig" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br id="isPasted"/></div><p>Following her career breakthrough and the redemption arc she had hoped for, this music release could be key to cementing Mika’s longevity in showbiz. </p><div><strong>Here’s why we think her latest career move matters:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>She goes back to where her career first began.</strong></div><p>Before becoming popular through her lifestyle vlogs, Mika first made waves online with her singing covers. She even runs a separate YouTube channel dedicated to her music, featuring renditions of songs like “Maikee’s Letters,” “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” and “You Broke Me First.”</p><p>On another account managed by her mother, fans can find a treasure trove of covers, including childhood videos that have been resurfacing since her<em> Pinoy Big Brother</em> win.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h7RX8pB0dIM?si=oSfafqrBm6fzoa-B" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>She presents a different side that she can share with the public.</strong></div><p>Mika’s latest release shines a spotlight on a side of her that many fans didn’t know existed. While her <em>PBB</em> stint earned her a bigger following, not everyone was aware of her background in music.</p><p>In fact, Mika once revealed in Ivana Alawi’s vlog that if she had been evicted early from the reality show, she would have either returned to the US to live a quiet life or gone back to singing, which she considers her ultimate passion.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsyVlGtOap7/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A3138781.600000009%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>She carves a new path she can take aside from acting.</strong></div><p>Since signing with Sparkle, Mika has primarily focused on acting, landing supporting roles in GMA’s <em>Maging Sino Ka Man</em>, <em>Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis</em>, and <em>Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre</em>. Dabbling in music proves her versatility as an artist, tapping into a strength that proves she can thrive beyond acting—potentially paving the way for a multifaceted career path that could ensure her star continues to shine for years to come.</p><div><br/></div><p>The big question now: what’s next for Mika Salamanca? </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMulCdtxDv5/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A3794149.299999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="851" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Lead photo by <strong>Dix Perez</strong></p>
