The thrill of those initial earnings, a tangible reward for her hard work and passion, still sparks joy in her heart. Each paycheck represented not just money, but the realization of her dreams and the beginning of a remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.

"There were two purchases that I remember. With my first paycheck from the fast food commercial, I bought a drum set immediately. And then from my first paycheck from Captain Barbell, I bought a jacket from Armani Exchange that I still have. It still fits me. I still wear it," said Rhian when asked about his early paychecks from showbiz during the renewal of her contract with GMA Network recently.

Now 34, Rhian fondly recalled about the moment she first stepped onto the grounds of the Kapuso Network. There was a mix of excitement and ambition.

"I auditioned for Captain Barbell. I remember the waiting room on the 7th floor. And meeting Camille Prat in the same room. I remember trying super hard to remember my lines, and I couldn't because it was Tagalog. But I understand the context," she said.
