Yen Santos Showbiz Comeback Elicits Comments

Yen Santos announced her return to the entertainment industry

Actress Yen Santos elicited various reactions regarding her showbiz comeback that happened years after her last acting project.

Yen was known for her sultry image in the Philippine entertainment industry but she was featured in serious acting projects that proved her acting caliber.

She rose to fame after joining the Kapamilya reality show Pinoy Big Brother for its Teen Clash 2010 edition. From that, Yen was featured in various teleseryes.

The last movie that she did was A Faraway Land in 2021 with her ex-boyfriend Kapuso actor Paolo Contis. From that, she was out of the limelight for quite a while.

While Yen Santos was not doing acting projects, she was still a trending topic on social media and showbiz circles from time to time. It was because of her relationship with Paolo that apparently led to separation.

It was rumored last December 2024 that Yen gave birth to a child. This was amid the rumors that she and Paolo were no longer together. A month after that, netizens talked about her photos with other celebrities in which she seemed to have gained weight.

Months after her public appearance, Yen is finally having her showbiz comeback. On her Instagram page, she shared a behind-the-scenes photo of her new acting project.

The actress did not mention any details regarding this acting project. She just wrote in the caption of her post, “Day 1. the joy of being back.”

In the comment section of her post, her fans expressed excitement about her return. “Finally natupad yung isa sa prayer ko this year na magka project ka na,” a fan commented.

However, when this was shared on a popular showbiz site, netizens expressed negative reactions. Some said that Yen Santos lost the opportunity she had to be a bigger name in the industry while some thought that she is no longer popular. Here are some comments.
