Rich Asuncion-Pretty Girl of Starstruck GMA7

Rich Asuncion (born Richell Pacaldo Angalot on January 22, 1989 in Bohol, Philippines) is a Filipina actress who became the First Princess of StarStruck: The Next Level. Asuncion is also a First Runner-up in Binibining Pilipinas 2009.

As of September 1, 2007, Rich Asuncion is a Regal Films contract star.[1]. Among other Starstruck Batch 4 contestants, Rich Asuncion easily towers over the rest of the female gang. And it’s not only because of her height—there’s a certain glow in her eyes that, if kindled to a passionate fire, could serve her in good stead when, say, Katrina Halili decides to retire. A diamond in the rough an FHM shoot can cut to a shiny gem.

Asuncion is declared First Runner-up during the grand coronation night on March 7, 2009 at the Arenta Coliseum. She is using her real name and she’s Candidate No. 3[3]. From the original 170 plus applicants, only 36 were asked to return, until they were trimmed down to the final 24 after undergoing gruelling hours of pressure and tension at the Mandarin Suites last February 5.
