The Legend (2004), the first installment of the highly successful Enteng Kabisote film series.

Hermosa reprised her role as Faye in four subsequent installments of the Enteng Kabisote film series, concluding in 2007. The second installment, Enteng Kabisote 2: Okay Ka Fairy Ko... The Legend Continues! (2005), was a commercial success, earning ₱158 million domestically and earning her the title of "Box-Office Queen" at the 2005 GMMSF Box Office Entertainment Awards. In 2010, she took an indefinite hiatus from acting to focus on her family with Oyo Sotto. She returned to television in 2016 with the sitcom Hay, Bahay! (2016) and rejoined ABS-CBN in 2018, portraying an antagonist in Bagani.
