Sheryl Rose Anna Marie Sonora Cruz (born April 5, 1974 in Makati City, Philippines), better known simply as Sheryl Cruz, is a Filipina actress and singer. She is known for her role as Divina Ferrer in 2007's television drama series Sinasamba Kita, and as Valeria on Bakekang and the Philippine remake of Rosalinda.
After 4 years out of ABS-CBN, in 2012, she had a guest appearance on the phenomenal series Walang Hanggan as young Virginia "Manang Henya" Cruz portrayed by Ms. Susan Roces. In 2013, while she's still a contract star of ABS-CBN, she became part of Galema: Anak ni Zuma, critically known as Galela Carriedo.
She returned to her home network GMA Network in 2014, where she had been working there since then, being given many roles and TV appearances. She currently stars in the afternoon drama series Buena Familia.
Cruz started her career at a very young age. She won the FAMAS Best Child Actress award for her portrayal in the movie "Mga Basang Sisiw" opposite Janice de Belen, Che Che and the late Julie Vega. She also won best child actress for the movie "Roman Rapido" opposite her late uncle the King of Filipino Movies, Fernando Poe Jr.
She was later contracted by Regal Films along with Kristina Paner and Manilyn Reynes to form the sensational group "TRIPLETS". Among the three, Manilyn Reynes became the Star of the New Decade and Sheryl Cruz became the Princess of Philippine Cinema. At that time, GMA Network established the youth oriented TV show "That's Entertainment" hosted by German Moreno, where she became part of the Wednesday group.
