Angelika dela Cruz in her Palace

Angelika's life is almost like a telenovela, but without the villains. Her father, Ernesto dela Cruz, used to be a member of the Bayanihan Dance Group. On one of the troupe's many travels abroad, he met Angelika Egger of Austria. He brought her to the Philippines, they got married, and they had two children, Maria Lourdes and Edward.

Maria Lourdes, known as Sunshine at home, is now Angelika dela Cruz, having borrowed her mother's first name to use as her screen name.

Mr. dela Cruz eventually dropped out of the dancing profession and shifted to the business of talent promotions, which allowed him frequent visits to Japan. He often took his wife with him.

Mrs. dela Cruz soon found a lucrative job as a German-language teacher in Japan, and she ended up staying there for 13 years. During that period, the marriage fell apart. The formal separation came in 1992, when Sunshine was 11 and Edward was 9. It was, however, a very friendly break-up. The kids were left in their father's care, while their mother kept them posted from abroad.

"My first movie was Night of Serafina," recalls Angelika. "Magfi-fifteen pa lang ako noon, pero akala ng mga tao, magbo-bold ako. Kapa-kapatid lang naman ang role ko. Bale doon naman ako nakita ng ABS-CBN."

At ABS-CBN, she became part of two soap-opera hits, "Mara Clara Book 2" (1996) and "Esperanza" (1997), plus the defunct teen hip horror show "Okatokat." Along the way, Angelika, whose real intention was to become a singer, also landed recording deals, one with BMG Pilipinas and one with Imperial Records, w
