SHOWBIZ royalty and Kapuso leading lady Janine Gutierrez received her first-ever best Actress award at the 2019 QCinema International Film Festival’s Asian Next Wave Competition for her exceptional portrayal in the psychological thriller film “Babae at Baril.”
Hanggang ngayon ay nasa cloud 9 pa rin ang dalaga matapos matanggap ang kanyang acting award.
Ginampanan ni Janine sa nasabing pelikula ang karakter ng isang saleslady na nakapulot ng baril at nasangkot sa kung anu-anong pagsubok.
“Para sa lahat ng babaeng lumaban at patuloy na lumalaban, thank you po,” pahayag ng girlfriend ni Rayver Cruz.
Janine also hopes that more women will be empowered through the film, “I’m very grateful for this award, lalo na sa mga taong naniwala at naniniwala sa akin. Iba talaga ‘yung kuwento ng pelikula, ipapakita niya sa ‘yo ‘yung katotohanan na nangyayari dito sa Pilipinas na baka hindi nakikita ng ibang tao.”
