The remake of "Mara Clara" somehow catapulted both Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes into stardom. I would say they're the latest Kapamilya teen princesses. Will they be the next Claudine Barretto - Judy Ann Santos? The two recently starred in a family drama "Way Back Home."

I found this picture from last year's ball featuring Kathryn Bernardo with her fellow teen stars, Miles Ocampo and John Manalo. Kathryn is most definitely a bigger star now that she played the role of Mara, formerly portrayed by young superstar Judy Ann Santos.
