GMA NETWORK is proud that most of the winners in the acting categories of the recently concluded Cinemalaya Filmfest are Kapuso stars. The two best actors, Robert Arevalo for “Hari ng Tondo” in the Directors Showcase category and Dante Rivero for “1st Ko si 3rd” in the New Breed Category, are currently seen in ongoing GMA-7 soaps.

In the supporting actress and actor category in the New Breed section, the winners are Barbie Forteza for “Mariquina” and Miggs Cuaderno for “Children’s Show”. Barbie stars in the hit afternoon soap, “The Half Sisters”, while Miggs is in the 6 PM soap, “My BFF”. In the Directors Showcase category, Cris Villonco won best supporting actress for “Hari ng Tondo”. She will soon be seen in her first soap, “Ang Lihim ni Annasandra” as contravida to title roler Andrea Torres.

As we expected, Nora Aunor won as best actress for “Hustisya” in the Directors Showcase category while Eula Valdes won as best actress for “Dagitab” in the New Breed category. Congratulations to all the winners!
