In 2013 after a successful appearance in another Maalaala Mo Kaya episode, Montes starred opposite Enrique Gil and Enchong Dee as the long-lost daughter Sarah Beltran in the melodrama Muling Buksan Ang Puso.[7] She played as a childhood friend and wife to Samuel Hidlago in the period drama Ikaw Lamang (2014) for which she earned her first Gawad Tanglaw Award for Best Actress and PMPC Star Award-nominated role.[8][9] In 2015, Montes starred in the romantic horror Halik sa Hangin as the delusioned teenager Mia Generoso. She was praised for her performance and it earned her first Young Critics Circle Award for Best Performance nomination.[10] She also appeared in Wansapanataym's "Yamishita's Treasures" alongside Coco Martin and in another Maalaala Mo Kaya episode. She then went on to play dual roles in Doble Kara (2015–17) as identical twin sisters Kara Dela Rosa and Sara Suarez, and appeared in the family drama Padre de Familia.[11] Montes was awarded for another Gawad Tanglaw Award for Best Actress and the PMPC Star Award for Best Drama Actress nomination for the former.[12][13]
