A Phenomenal Milestone: Kathryn Bernardo Immortalized at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!? 

The air in Manila crackled with excitement on July 9, 2026, as fans gathered at the Glorietta Activity Center to witness a historic moment for Philippine entertainment. In a grand, star-studded unveiling, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong officially introduced the wax likeness of Filipino superstar Kathryn Bernardo, solidifying her status as an icon on the global stage.

From Child Star to Global Icon

Kathryn Bernardo’s journey to being immortalized is a testament to her two decades of unrivaled success in film and television. Rising to fame as a child star in 2003, she has since become a powerhouse, beloved for blockbuster hits like The Hows of Us, A Very Good Girl, and Hello, Love, Goodbye—the latter of which was set in Hong Kong, the very city that will now serve as the permanent home for her wax replica.

As the fifth Filipino to join this esteemed roster—following legends like Pia Wurtzbach, Catriona Gray, Manny Pacquiao, and Anne Curtis—Bernardo’s inclusion celebrates not just her talent, but the enduring power of Filipino artistry.

The "Kath-Twin": A Moment Frozen in Time

The wax figure, affectionately referred to as the "Kath-twin," captures a defining moment in Bernardo’s career: the night she received the Outstanding Asian Star Award in Seoul in 2023. Expert sculptors at Madame Tussauds meticulously replicated her look from that evening, including the original gown designed by Filipino fashion icon Martin Bautista.

"My wax figure is a reminder that big dreams are valid, and Filipino talent belongs on the global stage," Bernardo shared during the event. "I'm just so proud to be here as a Filipina, and I hope it makes everyone feel the same about who we are and what we can do".
