But through ABS-reality CBN&#8217;s talent search program Star Circle Quest Season 2, Erich tried her luck in show business in 2004 as a wide-eyed, frail teenager from Davao. The following year, she accomplished the feat when she earned the Grand Questor title and the P4-million cash award. She also received an exclusive contract from Star Magic, the network&#8217;s talent management company at the time known as the ABS-CBN Talent Center, as the grand prize winner. Erich Gonzales was given to her as her screen name.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjChZS4otbT\/?hl=en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111351_www.instagram.com_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111351_www.instagram.com_.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111351_www.instagram.com_-209x300.jpeg 209w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111351_www.instagram.com_-235x337.jpeg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having adorned TV shows and movies and given her star power to merchandise through endorsements, she is a star today and one of the network&#8217;s most recognisable performers. But Erich&#8217;s ascent to the summit was not swift. Instead, progress was gradual, steady, and unremarkable in the eyes of some industry insiders. Erich wasn&#8217;t concerned by any of this discussion. The attractive actress spoke confidently about her career as being steady yet sluggish. She benefitted from always being clear about what she desired. In an interview with a magazine in 2018, she stated: &#8220;I want to keep doing what I love, which is acting. I wish I could work in a variety of genres. &#8220;I always say this. I&#8217;m not after the fame or popularity\u2014yes, it&#8217;s a bonus, it&#8217;s a plus\u2014but the bottom line is, I just want to be an actress for as long as I can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjChZS4otbT\/?hl=en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111428_www.instagram.com_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111428_www.instagram.com_.jpeg 535w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111428_www.instagram.com_-242x300.jpeg 242w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Web-capture_1-10-2022_111428_www.instagram.com_-272x337.jpeg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Erich was a celebrity.
