Sue Ramirez (born Sue Anna Garina Dodd on July 20, 1996) is a prominent Filipino‑American actress, model, and singer whose career has spanned more than a decade. She first entered the entertainment industry in 2010 after impressing Star Magic judges with a rendition of “Angels Brought Me Here,” quickly securing a spot on the teen variety show Shoutout! and beginning a trajectory that would see her become a household name. Her breakthrough came when she portrayed Nicole Matias in the 2011 ABS‑CBN remake of Mula sa Puso, a role that highlighted her ability to convey vulnerability and resolve against a backdrop of family intrigue. Over the next few years she accumulated a diverse portfolio, appearing in dramas such as Angelito: Batang Ama (2011‑12), Annaliza (2013‑14), and the iconic Pangako Sa ’Yo (2015), where her character Joy “Ligaya” Miranda added depth to the series’ love‑triangle dynamic.

Beyond television, she ventured into music and variety, joining the long‑running show ASAP in 2016 and releasing singles under Star Music, thereby showcasing a versatile vocal range that blends OPM and pop influences. Her commitment to philanthropy surfaced when she was appointed Honorary Tourism Ambassador for Korea‑Philippines relations, using her platform to promote cultural exchange. Recent projects include a leading role in The Iron Heart (2022) as Venus Magbanua, a central figure in The Broken Marriage Vow (2022) where she portrayed the antagonist Lexy Lucero, and a starring turn in Cuddle Weather (2019) that explored complex adult themes.
