Ara Mina Biography, Profile and Picture Gallery
June 20, 2008
Hazel Reyes-Mathay, who is better known by her screen name Ara Mina (born May 9, 1979 in Manila, Philippines), is a Filipina actress, model and singer. She is a grand daughter of former Quezon City mayor Ishmael Mathay, Jr. She won the Golden Screen Award in 2004 for Best Actress in a drama in the Philippines. Since 1998, Mina has been a regular cast member of Bubble Gang, a sketch comedy television show in the Philippines.
She is the daughter of Chuck Mathay, a former Philippine congressman from Quezon City. Her sister Cristine Reyes is also an actress with GMA Network. She had to leave GMA and her show Bubble Gang due to ABS-CBN’s exclusive contract and having her show Prinsesa ng Banyera as Angelika de la Cruz’ replacement for her role.
Ara Mina is a mixture of everything nice and not. You can see her answer with straightforwardness all the intrigues thrown upon her, yet her sweetness reflects by her princess-style bedroom in her lucky house, which, unfortunately, is up for sale as of press time. But what makes Ara totally unique from all other sexy actresses and starlets emerging today?
Ever since, Ara Mina wanted to become part of the entertainment industry, perhaps inspired by her mother. At an early age of 7, she was already joining pageants sponsored by her school, where her usual talents will either be singing or acting. However, it was only in her stint in That’s Entertainment, hosted by German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, that she got the first taste of show business. She was 13 years old then.

CRISTINE Reyes is now with ABS-CBN, but she also signed a three-year management contract with Viva Artist Agency of Veronique del Rosario. She now joins the ranks of Anne Curtis, Rufa Mae Quinto, Sarah Geronimo and Rachelle Ann Go who are all with VAA. “I know I’ll have a better future in showbiz with VAA managing me,” she says.
When she left GMA-7 and moved to ABS, she was called a pasaway, an ingrate, and other names. Does she regret leaving GMA? “No, happy ako maging kapamilya. Heto nga, I have ‘Eva Fonda’, which will be shown on primetime. We’re taping week 4 now.”
We thought they stopped taping and had to reshoot. “That’s true. After management previewed the first few episodes, ABS decided to reshoot the scenes of Jean Saburit, Mark Gil and Baron Geisler who play a family kunsaan nagtatrabaho ako as maid. May binago yata sa istorya, pero sa scenes ko, walang ni-reshoot. Meron din daw part na nasira so kailangang ireshoot.”
