Teri Malvar bags New York Asian Film Festival's Screen International Rising Star Asia award

 
Teen Actress Teri Malvar is one of the three recipients of New York Asian Film Festival’s Screen International Rising Star Asia award for her portrayal in Ralston Jover’s film 'Hamog.'
 
The 15-year-old is very excited to be a part of the awarding. She explained, “Nagulat po ako and very overwhelmed. Parang naalala po nila ako. And I'm the first Filipino to receive an award [from them.] At saka happy po ako that they recognized my acting.”
 
Teri added, “Very unexpected po kasi this time international po. Thankful po ako sa lahat ng award, pero mas naging excited po ako kasi first time ako magkakaroon ng international award, and it’s my first time to fly abroad. Parang this will be a new experience and adventure rin po.”
 
The actress played the role of Jinky, “isang batang hamog.” She described her character, “Si Jinky po palaban po siya, laging nagmumura, and sobrang taray. Ang taray po niya, wala siyang paki kung anong edad mo. Which is hard, kasi di po ako nagmumura.”
 
Teri already won three acting awards since she first started at the age of twelve.
 
“Unbelievable [yung manalo ng awards,] kasi parang, it’s actually overwhelming and unbelievable that they picked me or nominated me as the Best Actress. So, parang thankful ako kahit nomination lang. Kasi I’m still so young, yet they see me as [someone worthy of the] Best Actress [title,]” she concluded.
