Alexa Ilacad is finally getting her flowers

The weekend is here, and that only means one thing: "Your Face Sounds Familiar" is lighting up primetime once again on TV5.

After her viral Chappell Roan transformation last week, all eyes are on Alexa Ilacad, and it is for good reason. The Gen Z total performer has been turning heads, breaking molds and proving that the word "underrated" no longer applies to her.

A partner of UNIQLO, Alexa had a conversation with yours truly just right after joining an empowering panel hosted by Bianca Gonzalez-Intal that centered on supporting women in every season of life. In the chat, Alexa opened up about how meaningful it is to have women cheer each other on, not out of competition, but out of connection.

For Alexa, support isn’t just about being there during successes, it’s about showing up when things get quiet, too. She spoke about her journey from a child star to the confident Gen Z total performer, and how genuine encouragement has helped her navigate the industry with grace.

“It’s easy to doubt yourself when you've been in the business this long,” she admitted.

Alexa has been in the public eye since she was just two years old, but she admitted that it’s only recently that she feels truly seen.

“Finally, I’m getting my flowers,” she told me with heartfelt gratitude. “I’ve been doing this for so long, and it still surprises people that I can actually sing. Nakaka-touch talaga. I do not expect everyone to know.”
