'Kontrabida' Karina Bautista shines in digital series

You know that moment when someone gives you the look—not loud, not dramatic, but sharp enough to slice through the silence? That was Ara (Karina Bautista) in Episode 8 of Si Sol at si Luna.

When she finally met Luna (Jane Oineza), the words were civil but the glance was anything but. Even Luna felt the shift: “What’s her issue?” she asks Sol later. Honestly? It’s complicated.

In the world of teleseryes, Ara would be your cookie-cutter kontrabida—the “other girl,” the vengeful ex, the drama starter. But in Si Sol at si Luna, Ara is written with nuance. She exudes neither malice nor rancor. She's just real.
