Juliana Palermo’s claim to fame movie was www.XXX.com, a Tikoy Aguiluz film wherein she plays a cyber-stripper or sex diva. But she was recognized more as an actress in the critically-acclaimed movie “Panaghoy sa Suba” opposite Cesar Montano.

Born in Davao, Juliana was raised in the United States. She won the local beauty search Miss Kadayawan. In 2002, she was crowned Mutya ng Davao. Juliana said she left Davao for Manila hoping to join the nationwide Binibining Pilipinas pageant but the organizers of the said pageant rejected her because of her sexy pictorials. Then she was offered to do “www.xxx.com” for Maverick Films, and accepted the role.

Juliana was once a sex-advice columnist for popular magazine FHM and she is now a columnist in a leading broadsheet. Her latest movie “Barang” is showing today in theaters nationwide.
