SIKAT na sikat pala talaga ang Kapuso versatile actress na si Carla Abellana sa Vietnam. Isa si Carla sa mga Filipina actress na labs na labs ng mga Vietnamese dahil sa kanyang mga teleserye.
Si Carla ang itinanghal na Most Favourite Foreign Actress sa Today TV’s Face of the Year Awards 2016 na ginanap noong Jan. 7.
In her acceptance speech, the Kapuso actress expressed her gratitude to the award-giving body for the recognition and dedicated the award to her Filipino and Vietnamese fans and supporters.
“Thank you very much to all the organizers and board members of the 2016 Face of the Year Awards most especially to the IMC and Today TV.
“Thank you so much for the opportunity. I would like to thank my home network back in the Philippines, GMA Network, my manager, Arnold Vegafria, and my handler and road manager who is here with me tonight, Benj Gabitan.
“I thank all my Filipino supporters and most especially my Vietnamese fans for voting for me online. Thank you so much to all of you. If not for you, I wouldn’t be here tonight. I will surely treasure this prestigious award,” ani Carla.
A member of Vietnam’s Joint Media Corporation (IMC), Today TV is one of the first Vietnamese TV stations to air Filipino drama series.
Tatlo sa mga Kapuso shows ni Carla — ang Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Langit, My Husband’s Lover at My Destiny — ang nag-hit nang bonggang-bongga sa Vietnamese viewers, which made her a household name in the South East Asian country.
At dahil sa request ng mga taga-Vietnam, muling mapapanood si Carla ng kanyang Vietnamese fans dahil very soon ay ipalalabas na roon ang Because Of You.
