The Kapuso actress was recognized for her powerful performance as “Paola” in the musical drama film Sinagtala.

The film follows the Sinagtala Band, a group of five members who went their separate ways and faced their own personal struggles, only to be reunited by a member who gave them a new reason to hope and the strength to carry on.

Under the direction of Mike E. Sandejas, the film features an ensemble cast of Kapuso stars including Rhian Ramos, Rayver Cruz, and Matt Lozano, alongside actress Arci Muñoz.
