## Life and career
### 1996–2001

Scouted to join the entertainment industry at an early age, Oineza's first appearances on television began as a child model in over twenty TV commercials for various product brands.
From then on, Oineza became her family's sole breadwinner after her parents resigned from their respective jobs to assist her in her career. The family moved from the provinces to live in Pasig and then later in Quezon City.

### 2001–2012

Immediately after a popular shampoo ad was released, a talent manager urged Oineza to venture into acting. She made her acting debut at the age of 5 in the primetime teleserye Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan (2001–2003). She then portrayed a child version of a female protagonist in Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas (2003–2004) and Marina (2004) respectively. She soon came to prominence by joining the children's sketch comedy gag show Goin' Bulilit in various skits and parody roles. After graduating from Goin' Bulilit for three years, she was cast in the live-action fantasy series Kung Fu Kids (2008) as one of seven kids holding different personalities to be united by a prophecy. Kung Fu Kids earned a 37.1% national viewer rating according to NUTAM in the Philippines.
Since then, Oineza became a staple for local soap operas, appearing in supporting and guest roles in Ligaw na Bulaklak (2008), Maria la del Barrio (2011), Oka Tokat (2012). In several episodes of the drama anthologies Maalaala Mo Kaya and Wansapanataym. In the midst of drama portrayals, she obtained more challenging roles. Oineza materialized on the big screen with her first indie short in Sampalataya for Philippine's 2009 Urban Mediamakers Film Festival Entry, playing the role of a blind girl who dreams in colors but sees everything in black and white. She returned to co-starring in Star Cinema-produced mainstream movies, namely Miss You Like Crazy (2010), I Do (2010), and Amorosa (2012). She also participated in the period indie, Bayaning Pepe, a film under the direction of Carlos Morales, encompassing a story traced back into the younger years of National Hero Jose Rizal. She received rave reviews from independent film critics as she played the infamous Leonor Rivera, Rizal's "lover by correspondence".

Oineza played the role Nene, a girl raped by her stepfather, witnesses her mother succumb to drug addiction and escapes to a convent. The "Manika" episode broke barriers as one of the most-talked about episodes in the Maalaala Mo Kaya anthology, reaching a 40% national viewer rating via Kantar Media/TNS.
