While widely loved for her classic roles like in “Be Careful With My Heart,” Sta. Maria has become increasingly outspoken off-screen. Since calling for government transparency in her first rally back in September 2025, she has taken a firm public stand against corruption and the recent flood control scandals.

Her sociopolitical voice comes with notable background as she was previously married into a prominent political family. In June 2024, the Supreme Court officially granted the nullity of her marriage to Panfilo “Pampi” Lacson Jr., the son of Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, putting an end to a 13-year legal battle.
