Early life and career
[edit]Karla Estrada was born as Carla Elago Ford on November 21, 1974, in Tacloban City to a Filipino mother and an American father. Shortly thereafter, her father left after being misinformed that Karla had died at birth.[2]
According to an episode in Maalaala Mo Kaya featuring accounts on her life, Estrada was born to a rich family but was forced to move to Tacloban after the death of her grandfather, who was responsible for most of the livelihood of the family. Estrada aspired to become an actress since childhood and joined singing competitions. She was discovered by a talent manager in Quezon City, which led to her appearance in That's Entertainment.[3]
Personal life
[edit]Estrada is the mother of Daniel Padilla whom she had at the age of 20; her son's father is Rommel Padilla. Estrada brought Daniel to see Rommel Padilla in prison three years later. She has three other children, Jose Carlito whom she had at the age of 21 with Naldy Padilla, Margaret "Magui" Fiona Ford[4] whose father is a former Quezon City councilor Mike Planas, newly appointed Philippine Postal Corporation Chairman,[5] who was formerly engaged to "Pat P",[6] and Carmella from different man.[7]
At age 18, Estrada looked for her father who later apologized for not knowing that her birth was successful. In 2016, she stated that she is on good terms with her father, describing herself as his "carbon copy".[2]
She is Antonio Aquitania's cousin.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
