2004–2006: Star Circle Quest and Goin' Bulilit
In 2004, San Pedro joined the reality-based talent competition Star Circle Quest on ABS-CBN. Together with the other contestants, San Pedro had undergone talent training, physical enhancement and different challenges to test their talent skills.[4]
She managed to be in the "Magic Circle of 5" with fellow competitors Nash Aguas, Aaron Junatas, Mikylla Ramirez, and CJ Navato. During the 'Grand Questors Night' held on 5 June 2004 in Araneta Coliseum, she won first runner-up. Soon after, she became a part of Star Magic with an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. Her acting career began in the same year, portraying the young Faith/Tala in Krystala.[3]

She was in the main cast until 2011, when she graduated.[5] The 'Seventh Batch Graduates', including San Pedro, left due to the fact that the show is for kids, while they were already growing older.[6]
Aside from being one of the original mainstays in Goin Bulilit, San Pedro also starred in OK Fine Whatever sitcom, again, with Aguas. In addition, she was one of the main cast in Mga Anghel na Walang Langit, portraying as Gigi.

The next year, San Pedro joined the cast of Kamoteng Kahoy, an indie film by Maryo J. de los Reyes.[12] She was also cast with Jairus Aquino in ABS-CBN's Pieta as Kakai Angeles.
San Pedro received her first acting award as the Most Popular Child Actress by the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation.[13] In addition, she was nominated the Best Comedy Actress by the PMPC Star Awards for TV for two consecutive years since 2008[14] for her character roles in Goin Bulilit.[15] Her portrayal of young Mabel in the horror suspense film Segunda Mano marked her fourth film and her first official entry to the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival.[16] The following year, she played Nene in Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang.
Following the start of her teenage years came the end of her spot in Goin Bulilit. After six years, she left the show in 2011.[17]

She later joined the second season cast of Luv U.[21][22]
In 2014, she starred in Wansapanatym's month-long special "Si Lulu At Si Liit" with Jairus Aquino and Francis Magundayao.[23] The story and their team-up received favorable reviews and consecutive high ratings.[24] She started appearing in the Primetime series again soon after, now as a teenager. She received guest roles in FlordeLiza and Ang Probinsyano, wherein she was reunited with Nash Aguas in the latter. She also starred as one of the supporting cast in Nathaniel in 2015.
Together with Jairus Aquino, San Pedro was announced to be one of the new video jockeys in the music channel MYX in the beginning of the year 2016. According to the announcement, ever since "[t]hey... won as the MYX Celebrity VJ Duo in the show’s weekly online poll [in February 2015], their followers have shown interest in seeing them again on the music channel".[25] Both were also cast in Wansapanatym's "Susi Ni Sisay" by Wenn V.
