Career

Ching started her television career in 2005 when she joined Bubble Gang Jr.[5] She made dozens of TV and print ads and played a series of young roles until she was cast as Bea in First Time. Her big break came when she landed the role of young Shirley in GMA Network's remake of Endless Love (based on Autumn in My Heart) opposite Kathryn Bernardo and Kristofer Martin.[8] She also appeared in the teen romance drama Reel Love Presents Tween Hearts where she played the role of Ligaya also known as Aya, a nerd girl who speaks with nature.[9] She is paired with Kristofer Martin, her co-star/loveteam in Reel Love Presents: Tween Hearts, Munting Heredera and Ikaw Lang ang Mamahalin (originally played by Sunshine Dizon).[10] [11] [12]

In 2013, she starred as one of the lead roles in Anna KareNina with Krystal Reyes and Barbie Forteza[16] and Joyce played as Nina Fuentebella (originally played by Kim delos Santos). After the series, she goes back in an antagonist role in suspense thriller Sunday afternoon show Dormitoryo.[17] [18] She played as Airiz Ocampo, a mean girl in Branwood College that was later on revealed to be a serial killer.[19] [20] [21]

In her new character, she played as Amella, the girl used by Christopher (the antagonist) to deceive Morales' family so the other can steal the wealth of the family. Her new character as Amella is also a cameo role in the series.[24]
