For some time, Perla spent years in Hong Kong where she tackled a lead role in a Chinese film, opposite a famous Hong Kong star. Later, it was our mutual friend Amalia Fuentes who told me that Perla married businessman Dodong del Rosario of the noted DRB Brothers business, sired their only child Jude del Rosario.

The two garnered anew acting awards anew for Patapon and later she got best supporting actress trophy in Nang Bumuka ang Sampaguita and Mga Bulaklak sa City Jail.
