Edit ProfileCareer
In January 2009, after returning from the United States, Gandanghari came out as a transport woman and changed her name to BlackBerry (sometimes spelled BeBe Gandanghari), saying that the person which the people used to know is already dead. In an interview, Gandanghari stated the name is derived from the Filipino words Bb. (transcript of Binibini, an honorific equivalent to "Mission") and Gandanghari, a portmanteau of the words ganda (beauty) and hari (king), adding that the "Bb." refers to her motto ""Be" all that you can "be"".
Gandanghari entered show business as a matinee idol and later as an action star.
She was also the presenter of Philippine franchise for Wheel of Fortune on American Broadcasting Company 5. Gandanghari appeared in the film adaptation of the comic book Zsazsa Zaturnnah (her first film role as a gay man) as the gay salon owner Ada (Adrian), the alter ego of Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
She appeared in the television series Louisiana Vendetta on Global Media Arts 7 and the Happy Hearts, later appearing on the ABS-Christian Broadcasting Network teleserye, Eva Fonda. In 2009, Gandanghari hosted the National Kidlat on the resort island of Boracay in Malay, Aklan.
She appeared again in Single Room Occupancy Cinema Serye: Rowena Joy.
