Ashley Ortega at Khalil Ramos
SAYANG at hindi nakasama ang pelikulang “As if It’s True”, ang Cinemalaya entry ng IdeaFirst Company na idinirek ni John Rogers sa 72nd FAMAS Awards.
Kaya kami nanghihinayang ay dahil maganda ang reviews ng pelikulang pinagbidahan nina Khalil Ramos at Ashley Ortega. Baka sakaling napansin din ito ng mga hurado ng FAMAS.
Anyway, isang malaking gulat naman para kay Ashley nang hirangin siyang Best Actress sa katatapos ding 19th Harlem International Film Festival (simula Mayo 16 hanggang Mayo 26) kung saan kasama ang “As If It’s True.”
Baka Bet Mo: Kathryn, Piolo, Alfred waging-wagi sa FAMAS 2024, ‘Mallari’ big winner
Sayang at hindi nakadalo si Ashley para tanggapin ang kanyang first international acting award. Karamihan sa award na natanggap ng dalaga ay patungkol sa skating.
O, baka kasi hindi rin niya alam na mapapansin siya sa “As If It’s True” movie.
