Shuvee Chrisna V. Etrata (born June 4, 2001) is a Filipino model, actress, host, and content creator.
Early life and education
[edit]Shuvee Chrisna V. Etrata was born on June 4, 2001[2][3] in Bantayan Island, Cebu. According to Etrata, others bullied her in her home province due to her morena complexion, although when she moved to Manila, she found that the entertainment industry considered her brown skin to be an asset.[1] She has named the Filipino actors Daniel Padilla and Alden Richards as two of her childhood crushes.[4]
She is studying physical therapy at the Cebu Doctors University.[4]
Career
[edit]On June 29, 2019, Etrata was announced as one of the 14 candidates for the Mutya ng Pilipinas Cebu pageant, representing the municipality of Santa Fe.[5] On July 11, she advanced to the Top 7 of the competition,[6] but did not win any of the pageant's titles.
On January 17, 2022, SunStar Cebu introduced Etrata as a 20-year-old model, endorser, and beauty queen. The newspaper quoted her as saying, "My most important realization this 2021 is that no matter how much you devote yourself to others, and no matter how you treat them, if they have already formed a judgment against you, then nothing will change their minds. […] There is no need to prove yourself to anybody, and your self-worth is never measured by how others see you, but by how you value yourself."[7]
In March 2023, Etrata was announced as a cast member of Hearts on Ice.[8] It was her first time acting in a teleserye.[9] She addressed comparisons to Maymay Entrata in an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), published on March 24. She acknowledged that their surnames sounded similar and that they were both Bisaya, hence the comparisons. Etrata also explained her plans to compete in Miss Universe when she was older and felt more ready. PEP writer Jojo Gabinete pointed out that Etrata's height, brown skin, and "very Filipina" facial features made her a good fit for beauty pageants.[1] In that month, she also starred alongside Barbie Forteza and David Licauco in "The Way You Look at Me", the music video for Ben&Ben's rendition of a Christian Bautista song of the same name.[10] In August, she appeared as Natty in the drama anthology series Tadhana (transl. Destiny) along with Ashley Ortega and Radson Flores.[11]
Etrata portrayed Feline in "Captain Kitten", a new episode of Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko (international title: My Fairy Grandmother) that aired when the anthology series returned in October.[12] On November 7, Etrata competed on an episode of the Philippine game show Family Feud. Her response to the question "What is the maximum capacity of a tricycle?" went viral on social media, after she answered "12." Many people online expressed their confusion over Etrata's answer, while others argued that it was not technically incorrect, as tricycles found in other provinces could accommodate significantly more passengers than the ones in Metro Manila. Xianna Bengo remarked in the Pop! column of the The Philippine Daily Inquirer, "Before we judge, I think we should do our own research before we say something about people's answers. Also — maybe Family Feud can be less ambiguous with their questions?"[13]
In December 2024, Etrata hosted at the Cebu press conference of the film Green Bones. She admitted that she preferred hosting over acting, although she was making an effort to improve her acting through workshops. She added that she hoped to star in a romantic comedy in the future.[14]
