She appeared in various programs and gained recognition for her acting abilities in ABS-CBN’s teleseryes such as “Mula sa Puso,” “Marinella,” “Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay,” “Sineserye Presents: Palimos ng Pag-ibig,” “Sa Piling Mo,” and “Pangarap na Bituin.” Rica was also part of successful sitcoms like “Palibhasa Lalake,” “Oki Doki Doc,” and “OK Fine Whatever.”

Recently, she took to social media and posted a photo of herself with her family wearing Halloween costumes. Apparently, they received criticism for wearing such costumes despite their Christian beliefs. The former actress responded to the criticism, stating that as long as it’s merely about cosplay and not engaging in any demonic practices, there’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing.
“If you mean halloween to be demonic practices and evil stuff ofc no one should. But if by halloween we mean a big costume part with treats for kids, like a whole day candy affair, then I don’t see why not..” she noted. Rica also didn’t let one comment calling it arrogant. According to Rica, “The arrogance in this statement is leaking. Sometimes, the religious are most blind they cannot see. .”
