Career

Prats debuted in 1990 as a grand finalist in Little Miss Philippines, a segment of the variety show Eat Bulaga!. She later became a regular on the ABS-CBN children's program Ang TV. In 1993, she joined the cast of Oki Doki Doc, starring Aga Muhlach.

In 1995, Prats starred as Princess Sarah in the film Sarah... Ang Munting Prinsesa, a Philippine adaptation of the anime, A Little Princess.

At age 12, Prats was the youngest performer at the second anniversary concert for ASAP at the Araneta Coliseum. In 1999, Prats starred as the main lead in the youth-oriented show G-mik alongside Stefano Mori, Miko Samson, and Danilo Barrios. Her brother, John Prats, was also part of the cast. That same year, she appeared on the afternoon drama Marinella with Shaina Magdayao and Serena Dalrymple. During the early 2000s, Prats appeared on several ABS-CBN sitcoms, including Arriba, Arriba! (2000–2003) and Home Along Da Airport (2003–2005). She played her first villain role in the action-drama series Basta't Kasama Kita, starring Judy Ann Santos and Robin Padilla.

Prats left ABS-CBN in 2005 and transferred to GMA Network. She starred in her first series for the network, Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako. The following year, she starred opposite Richard Gutierrez in Captain Barbell. In 2009, Prats appeared in the Star Cinema horror film T2. Although invited to appear on Kapamilya Deal or No Deal on ABS-CBN, Prats confirmed she would remain a GMA contract artist.[5]

From 2012 to 2022, Prats hosted the talk show MARS. After the show ended, she renewed her contract with GMA Network and returned to television with the series AraBella in 2023.[6][7][8]

In 2025, Prats played a dual role in the series Mommy Dearest. She portrayed Jade and her twin sister Olive, a character with Munchausen syndrome by proxy. She promoted the series on the variety show It's Showtime, marking her return to the ABS-CBN frequency after 21 years.[9][10][11][12]

Public image and impact

"I'm so grateful that people still remember my character, Princess Sarah, even up to now. Before, I used to question it because my struggle growing up was to break free from that role. For a very long time, people saw me as Princess Sarah. [...] I made a lot of efforts to mature and did so many things to move away from being Princess Sarah. [...] I truly see it as a blessing because that was the turning point of my career. [...] I think Sarah will always have a special place in the hearts of those who grew up in the '90s."

Part of Prats's address at the GMA Network Center to launch the Mommy Dearest drama series, 2025[13]
