Coney Reyes

Coney Reyes (born Constancia Angeline Nubla in 1954) is a Philippine film/TV actress, television host and producer of Chinese and Spanish descent. She has been one of the co-presenters of Student Canteen (1975-1982) and Eat Bulaga (1982-1991). During her college days prior to her career on entertainment, Coney was a student leader and consistent dean's lister. She earned a degree of Bachelor of Arts Major in Communication Arts at Maryknoll College (now Miriam College).

Coney made her movie debut in "Return of the Dragon" in 1975. She has been hosted for Student Canteen since its first airing on GMA-7 in 1975. In 1982, Coney Reyes left Studio Canteen for Eat Bulaga on RPN-9. In exchange, Chiqui Holmann-Yulo filled the slot vacated by Reyes. Coney's hosting stint with Eat Bulaga opened more opportunities for her and has been co-starred with Dolphy, Fernando Poe Jr., Vilma Santos, Lorna Tolentino, Maricel Soriano, Helen Vela, Aiza Seguerra and Vic Sotto among others in several movies and TV programs.

Her weekend afternoon drama anthology "Coney Reyes on Camera" (1984-1998), which Coney was also a producer, was one of the successful top-rating programs aired on Saturday afternoons and brought home several awards and citations including Star Awards for TV, Catholic Mass Media Awards and the CAMACOP. She appeared in programs like "Ang Munting Paraiso," "Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Kita," and the ongoing soap opera "Ysabella" where she played the mean Victoria Amarillo.

A Born-Again Christian, she has been co-hosted with Peter Kairuz in the 700 Club Asia and have served the Lord through evangelization ministry.

Coney Reyes is also a loving mother to LA and Carla (children to former husband, the late basketball player Lawrence Mumar), and Vicco (son to ex-partner Vic Sotto).
