Gina Pareño receives Best Supporting Award at the 3rd Asian Film Awards for the movie "Serbis" (Photo Asian Film Awards)
Gina Pareño received a Best Supporting Actress award at the 3rd Asian Film Awards for the movie “Serbis” directed by Dante Mendoza. The awarding was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center last Monday, March 23, 2009.
The actress almost didn’t make it to the awarding ceremonies as she has only one free day. The multi-awarded actress is currently busy filming for the ABS-CBN television series “Tayong Dalawa.”
In her acceptance speech, Gina Pareño shared her trophy with co-star Jaclyn Jose who was nominated as well.
The actress has returned to Manila Wednesday.
“Nagpapasalamat ako, talagang sinusuwerte tayo gawa ng… Hindi ninyo alam kung gaano ako natuwa at nakakataba ng puso kasi for the first time po, may nanalong Filipino sa Asian Film Awards sa Hong Kong; at nagkataon ho na tayo ang nakakuha,” the actress said in an interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal.
