Danita Paner

Rafaelita Danita Gomez Paner (born April 2, 1989) is a Filipino actress and former pop-rock singer. She is the daughter of former basketball player Manny Paner and actress Daisy Romualdez, and the sister of Kristina Paner and Karl Paner. She has an album produced by VIVA Records named Promotor. Paner made her debut teleserye appearance via TV5's My Driver Sweet Lover opposite JC de Vera. As of 2015, she has been seen on ABS-CBN.

Early life and education Paner was adopted by former basketball player Manny Paner and actress Daisy Romualdez. She has a sister, Kristina Paner, and a brother, Karl. As a baby, she had many skin diseases. At the age of 12, she performed with her sister at concerts, which put her on the path to becoming a singer. There, she was part of an all-female band alongside Alyssa Gibbs (the daughter of Bing Loyzaga and Janno Gibbs) that performed alternative / pop rock music at school events. She also received voice training from Annie Quintos of The Company.

Career At a young age, Paner had some minor roles in the films Ang Pagbabalik ni Pedro Penduko, The Jessica Alfaro Story, and To Saudi with Love. She didn't do acting again for a long time until she played the daughter of Joel Torre's character in the biopic The Chavit Singson Story. During her high school years, she also did TV guestings, and served as the front act for some concerts.

In 2010, Paner transitioned to acting. After being managed by her mother for most of her career up to that point, her mother voluntarily quit as her manager and Anabelle Rama became her manager. After appearing on 2 episodes of 5 Star Specials, she was able to impress the executives at TV5, who cast her in the lead role of their first teleserye My Driver Sweet Lover alongside JC de Vera. She also hosted the Sunday show P.O.5 and the variety show Hey it's Saberdey! In 2011, she was cast in the lead role in Carlo J. Caparas' Bangis alongside Oyo Sotto and was cast in the drama series Isang Dakot Na Luha. By 2013, she got less acting assignments from the network. She was also on the cover of FHM that year for the November 2013 issue.

After her contract with TV5 expired, Paner signed with Viva Artists. In 2016, she started taking roles on ABS-CBN shows such as Ipaglaban Mo!, and Magpahanggang Wakas. She also did several films with Viva Films, including Miss Granny. In 2020, she returned to TV5 to take a villain role in the series Paano ang Pangako? However, due to COVID, she backed out before the final episodes were shot, with Adrianna So stepping into her role. She then appeared in the films Instant Daddy and Pagpag 24/7.

Personal life Paner is currently in a relationship with Ralph Ian Fernandez, a kagawad from Quezon City. She was previously in a relationship with Kean Cipriano, a member of the band Callalily, and with JC de Vera, her former costar.

When she was 18, there was a rift between her and her adoptive mother Daisy Romualdez. Paner claimed on an appearance on The Buzz that Romualdez had been verbally abusing her and wouldn't allow her to go to school. As a result, she ran away from home and called her experience "escaping from hell". As a result, subpoenas were issued by the NBI and the DSWD got involved.
