Personal life

Show business is obviously in Maja's blood.

Discovery

Unlike other celebrities who were discovered on talent search and through commercials and endorsements in television, Maja was accidentally seen by the executives of ABS-CBN Channel 2, on a nationwide television show where she was reuniting with her long-lost father, Ross Rival. The moment of reconciliation between the father and daughter was actually then the primary step for the lady to go on or pursue the showbiz world.
Not all people know that Maja, was at first a ramp model at her young age together with a found friend Farah Ramos, who is the daughter of Chit Ramos, a movie-columnist and talent manager. Maja then confided with Chit regarding her longingness to see her father she didn’t see for years. Little did she know that Chit immediately worked out for the reconciliation of Maja and her dad. With the help of her extended family, she was brought up to the house of one of his uncles, Ramon Salvador where she finally met her father.
The said reunion was actually aired on The Buzz. That time, one of the heads of ABS-CBN was watching her closely. Charo Santos- Concio asked her staff to look for Maja after watching that touching moment which actually made a mark on her.
Thus did Maja Salvador sign up with the ABS-CBN Network and was then introduced in her first soap opera, It Might Be You.

Showbiz career

Blessings incessantly poured over her after receiving lots of projects both on television and movies. According to her, the best project that was given to her would be being a part of the Ultimate Dance Four with Shaina Magdayao , John Prats and Rayver Cruz as well. Obviously, dancing really is her passion yet shes trying to change or transpose genre from dancing to pure acting.
Undoubtedly, being a Salvador proved the audience that she really can work it out as an actress like most of her family members are. As an evidence for this, she was actually nominated as one of the new female actress in the box-office hit movie, Sukob. This only proves that she’s a jack of all trades. She can definitely dance and sing, and without any questions, she really can act.
She is currently in May Bukas Pa, a primetime drama series on ABS-CBN with Zaijan Jaranilla, Rayver Cruz, Albert Martinez, Dina Bonnevie and many more.
