Margaret Diaz

VMX, the no.1 local streaming platform in the Philippines, continues to expand the universe of Pinoy sexy with the launching of of one of its Next Big Thing, new kitten Margaret Diaz in the remake of a Pinoy erotic classic Balahibong Pusa. 

VMX cult director Roman Perez, whose extensive body of work has defined the look and tone of the streaming platform, lends his vision to the 2001 original helmed by Yam Laranas. Expect the trademark rawness and edginess of direk Perez seen in his movies like Taya, Sitio Diablo, Siklo, The Housemaid, and many others.

The original Balahibong Pusa also cemented the reputation of Joyce Jimenez as the original Pantasya ng Bayan after first being introduced in Scorpio Nights 2. With the 2025, we are introduced to a worthy successor to Joyce Jimenez—Margaret Diaz, 19, who oozes raw sex appeal with her duskiness and deep, smoldering eyes. 

A Cavitena, Margaret was discovered in a local pageant. She stood out among a bevy equally beautiful girls, caught the eye of a talent scout, and was immediately offered the chance to become an artista.

"Hindi ko po inaasahan ang offer na maging artista. I was still studying and joining in pageants was just something I like to do. I was also modelling on the side. Never ko po'ng naisip na magiging ganito kabilis ang pag-launch sa akin ng Viva in a starring role, and sa ganito kalaking project pa. Ang alam ko po classic ang Balahibong Pusa and si Ms. Joyce Jimenez is one of the sexiest stars in the Philippines. Sana magawa ko yung nagawa niya," said Margaret, who despite the call to stardom is still enrolled in college, taking up Tourism Management. 

Since its launch in 2020, VMX has been the platform to stardom for many new faces, with some gathering strong momentum to cross over to the mainstream. Among them are Angeli Khang, Ayanna Misola, Cristine Bermas, Robb Guinto, and many others. With Margaret's distinct appeal and natural talent, she is well on her way to achieve the same.

"Gusto ko pong maimprove ang pag-arte ko because I want people to see me as a real artist. Artist na sexy! But seriously, I am grateful na nabigyan ako ng ganitong opportunity and sisiguraduhin ko na hindi kayo magsisisi sa makikita niyo. I have big dreams, I want to be a successful actress, I want to finish my studies. Every day, we can always dream bigger," said Margaret, our new VMX Kitten.
