The stroke of genius is the supposed ending of Mara Clara. People tuned in. Anticipating a resolution to the convoluted lives of the Del Valle and Davis families."[39] The series ran for five years airing 1,209 episodes, marking the longest half-hour-long television series featuring a female lead.[40] Subsequent to the series' success, a 1996 movie adaptation was released through Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc.[15][41] Santos won a FAMAS Award for Best New Movie Actress for her performance.[42]

She has successfully established her place in show business."[43] After her stint in the show, she reprised two more featured appearances, having held the distinction of being the youngest artist with the most number of appearances in the series, starring in twelve.[29] Asked about her accomplishment in the drama series, Santos stated, "Doing Star Drama Presents was another highlight, because I was the first young actress to be given the multi-episode treatment. I was overwhelmed, I never expected that. I was only 16 years old then."[43] In June of the same year, the Talent Center—TFC (now traded as Star Magic) co-production Gimik (1996)[29] gave Santos her first leading role in a teen drama television series, as a young socialite portrayed in the fictional lives of a close-knit group of teenagers through high school and college, alongside Rico Yan, Diether Ocampo, Giselle Toengi, Mylene Dizon, Bojo Molina, Jolina Magdangal, and Marvin Agustin.[44] The show received positive response from critics and television viewers ensuing to its eventual 1998 motion picture adaptation, Gimik: The Reunion.[29][45]

Breakthrough: 1997–2003

The year 1997 marked a significant turning point in Santos' career, when she played the title role in ABS-CBN's primetime television drama Esperanza.[46] She starred alongside Wowie de Guzman, as a surviving victim of a vehicular collision thus separating from her parents and siblings and has seek out in search for them.[47] Speaking about the character, Santos said "Kung nasaan man ako ngayon, naging malaking part talaga 'yung Esperanza. Pati na rin 'yung mga nakapag-direct sa akin dahil natuto ako ng iba't ibang style at techniques sa acting." (Wherever I am now, having portrayed Esperanza has been a significant part of my journey. The directors I've worked with have immersed me to different styles and techniques of acting).[48] Santos' performance earned her praise from critics, as the press began referring to her as the new soap opera princess.[49] FemaleNetwork.com noted that "This is one [Santos] role no one is likely to forget. In this [series], Santos played the role of Esperanza, who was separated from her family as a young girl. Throughout the show, we saw her experiencing a lot of hardships, and we felt her own despair whenever her tears flowed on screen".[50] Meanwhile, Dez Lucero from Chic concluded "Santos proved to be bigger in stellar power. The show showcased her [..] and became a star in her own right".[48] The series ran for three years and was adapted for motion picture release, Esperanza: The Movie (1999), earning Santos the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Citation as Teenage Queen of Philippine Movies.[51]

Following the release of Esperanza: The Movie, Santos appeared opposite de Guzman[52][53] in the film Paano Ang Puso Ko?, as an insolvent juvenile struggling to pursue higher education amidst financial struggles.[54] The film was a commercial success.[55] In the 1998 movie Muling Ibalik Ang Tamis Ng Pag-ibig that Santos and de Guzman led, the former as an ambitious woman who takes a pseudo-husband in order to prevent her impending marriage to a family friend.[56] The film received mostly critical reviews, and was generally considered a commercial triumph; "She [Santos] became a teen idol, as well as the beloved half of the popular love team—at its peak [...] they crossed over to the big screen and starred in one hit after another, movies that made the fans scream with delight and the producers laugh all the way to the bank", wrote the Chic Magazine. For the second consecutive year, Santos won the Teenage Movie Queen of Philippine Movies citation from Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation.[48]

Santos, alongside de Guzman, appeared in two more films,[52][57] the first film was a romantic comedy My Pledge of Love.[58] She portrayed a spunky traveller at the center of a battle between three different guys (played by de Guzman, Bobby Andrews and Onemig Bondoc).[59] Next up was a second movie Kasal-kasalan... Sakalan that starred Santos as good-hearted but hapless bride-to-be in the midst of premarital discourse.[60][61] Both films were critical and commercial failures. Her performances were received poorly, with Ana Pingol of YES! Magazine saying "there is always the danger of lukewarm—or worse, negative reception from the public who once adored you. The public can be pretty conservative; they stick to what is familiar [...] to what they like or has changed into something the public has not taken to—yet".[62]

In September 1998, Santos began principal photography in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur for her film, Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, a Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. romantic drama directed by Rory Quintos.[63] In the film, Santos stars opposite Rico Yan as a steadfast breadwinner whose ambitions and familial responsibilities get in the way of her romantic life.[64] Santos and Yan's initial pairing was met with predominantly positive reviews. Ian Smich of Rotten Tomatoes called Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay "a heart-gripping tale" and remarked on Santos' "laudable onscreen chemistry" with Yan, concluding that "[despite] circumstances [...] there are so many what could have been in this screen couple's roads, but managed to end up together later in the film."[65] She received her third award from Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation.[42][62]

In early June 1999, Santos starred in the Boots Plata-directed action comedy Isusumbong Kita Sa Tatay Ko, appearing opposite Fernando Poe, Jr., which tells a story of a father-daughter relationship, Badong and Joey, the latter resentful with the idea of losing her father's love to another woman.[66][67] The film received predominately favorable reviews and proved a commercial success. Sol Jose Vanzi of Philippine Headline News Online noted, "It's a match produced in celluloid heaven, because he [Poe] is king of Philippine movies while she [Santos] is considered today's drama princess."[68] Isusumbong Kita Sa Tatay Ko marked the first Philippine-produced film to have reached and exceeded Php100 million in box office gross.[66][69] The film's box office performance earned Santos a Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Citation as Box Office Queen.[70][71]

For her next feature television drama, Santos starred in her titular weekly anthology Judy Ann Drama Special (1999).[72] The making of the television drama also gave Santos significant acting experience; as she said, "It's so surreal that I'm doing my very own anthology. I've always dreamed about having one, though it came unexpectedly so soon. I'm ecstatic – and nervous altogether – but we've worked hard for each episode."[48] On referencing her name for a drama series, she said, "I'm overwhelmed that a drama series has been named after me [...] you get to work with different actors, directors [...] we get to offer different stories each week."[48]

Before You Break My Heart".[81] The album was met with negative reviews. David Gonzales of AllMusic.com gave the album one out of five stars, stating, "Santos is a popular young film actress, and this must be the reason why she has a recording contract. It isn't because of her singing, which ranges from bad to terrible. She sings in a low, whispery voice and hits many off-key notes throughout the album, which makes a listener cringe. Her voice is often difficult to hear above the backing instrumentation, but at least this spares a listener from more misery."[82] The album achieved moderate success, eventually certified platinum.[75]

In August 2001, Santos portrayed Kate, an uncompromising and charismatic would-be-boxer in a bid to salvage the boxing gym her family lost through a reckless gambling debt, in Bakit 'Di Totohanin,[7] a film release alongside Pascual through Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc., directed by Boots Plata.[83] Santos prepared for the part with lessons in boxing and Muay Thai. While promoting Bakit 'Di Totohanin, Santos said the film explored her vindication on losing weight and have "pride and happiness for feeling good [...] exercise not to lose weight but because it feels good."[84] Chic Magazine further stated "[Santos] attributes her new figure to her latest movie [Bakit 'Di Totohanin] where she portrays—a girl boxer. The role, to say the least, is not only unique, it also has loads of mass potential; you add Santos' unmistakable charisma, and Star Cinema could have another big hit in its hands."[48] The film garnered ranged of reviews[85][86] but enjoyed box office success, earning Php102.78 million domestically.[87]

The following year Santos starred opposite Dingdong Dantes in the romantic comedy Akala Mo (2002),[88] a film that was both a critical and box office failure.[87][89] Jami Aditya of IMDb (Internet Movie Database) found it "odd to see Santos being paired with someone [Dantes] more than two years her junior [...] it was predictable from there on but given the right elements and a tear-jerking story with a social angle, this partnership could have actually prospered."[90] In June 2002, Santos had the role of Lisa Reyes in the motion picture family drama Magkapatid, starring opposite Sharon Cuneta.[91] Directed by Joel Lamangan and produced by VIVA Films, Inc., the film premiered at the 2002 Manila Film Festival.[92] Well received by critics,[93] Magkapatid was highly successful at the box office, grossing Php9.6 million on its opening day.[94] Santos received nominations for a Manila Film Festival Award, a PMPC Star Award for Movies, and a Gawad Urian.[42]

Santos next starred in the ABS-CBN action drama series Basta't Kasama Kita alongside Robin Padilla, playing a law graduate who gets enlisted by the National Bureau of Investigation fueled by her desire to unravel her father's unexplained disappearance, a role for which she had to perform her own stunts.[101][102] Critical opinion was unanimous on Santos' portrayal; "She [Santos] went undercover as different characters while performing her own stunts and even dabbling in regional accents", wrote Malaya Business Insight News.[102] The show consistently ranked within the top ten of the final television ratings registering at 45.6% for Mega Manila and 47.3% Metro Manila viewership based on ascertained audience share yielded by AGB Nielsen Philippines.[103] The series won an Entertainment Press Society's Golden Screen Award and PMPC Star Award for Television as Outstanding Primetime Drama Series, earning Santos nominations as Best Drama Actress for the television production awards mentioned.[104]

Critical success: 2004–present

"Santos' complex portrayal redeems the otherwise unsympathetic nature of her character. Given the many facets of Sabel, it is a most challenging, difficult role, a great acting test for any performer and she passes it oh so magnificently."

Zulueta of The Philippine Daily Inquirer remarked "It [Sabel] is absorbing to watch because of its assay at the riddle of sexuality as well as the performance of Santos".[110] Asked about her significant career milestone, Santos stated " I feel that this is my transition film because this is the first time I did a film like this. I'm already 26 years old and I think it is hightime that I do films like this."[111] She won several awards for her performance, including the Gawad Urian Award, the Entertainment Press Society's Golden Screen Award and the Film Academy of the Philippines Award for Best Actress in a Lead Role.[112]
