Fly high with Mika Salamanca

When it comes to celebrities, it's common to see them venture into fashion, beauty, or food businesses. But for young actress and "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" big winner Mika Salamanca, her latest passion project takes a more meaningful turn-writing children's books.

Recently, the 24-year-old actress released her debut book titled "Lipad," which follows the story of a young fairy named Mahika who struggles to find her identity because of being different. Mika wrote the book to help children understand that everyone is unique in their own way.
