Phoemela Baranda started modelling when she was 13 years old, joining the clothing brand Pink Soda’s club search where she was selected.[4] Her first commercial was for Extraderm, a line of facial products. She continued modeling stints in ramp, mainstream media advertising campaigns and print media, appearing on the covers of the local editions of Uno, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, T3, Mega Magazine, Preview, Marie Claire and Maxim.
In 2000, she briefly played a minor part in the Philippine television series Pangako sa ’Yo (I promise you), which she quickly followed up with a teen-comedy movie role opposite Carlos Agassi in the 2001 movie Cool Dudes, which paved the way for her acting career. In 2003 she played Esmeralda in the GMA series Narito ang Puso ko. She got her first hosting stint in Extra Challenge when she did a successful audition when Miriam Quiambao left the reality show in 2003. She has then transferred to ABS-CBN as a segment host for the showbiz gossip show The Buzz, which paved the way for her next project as showbiz anchor-woman for TV Patrol World.
