Speaking of international awards, Lovi Poe recently won the Best Actress award at the 10th International Film Festival Manhattan for her role in the indie film Latay (The Battered Husband) with Allen Dizon who also bagged the Best Actor award..
"Love making films especially films with themes that are hard to talk about, with characters that are rarely seen on screen.
"I have never portrayed the role of a violent wife to a battered husband. To say it was challenging is an understatement. I am fond of taking on off-beat roles and doing projects like this that raises awareness about domestic violence, particularly towards men, which isn't documented as much," said Lovi.
She then thanked its director Ralston Jover for trusting her with the role.
"Thank you to our director Ralston Jover for giving me your full trust in playing a very unconventional character opposite Allen Dizon. He is a very talented and expressive actor and it is truly an honor to be sharing the screen with you," she added.
