Gabby Padilla remembers Pa after Cinemalaya Best Actress win

By Cynthia Montojo

“Personal siya sa akin because ‘Kono Basho’ speaks about losing  father, something that I struggled with as well,” Gabby told  media, after awards ceremony ended.

For Gabby Padilla, winning  Best Actress award at  2024 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival for “Kono Basho” was  personal victory.

Gabby was  joint winner for Cinemalaya 2024 Best Actress with Marian Rivera of “Balota” at  closing ceremony held last August 11 in Ayala Malls Manila Bay.

In “Kono Basho,” two half-sisters grieve their father’s death in Rikuzentakata, city still recovering from  tsunami years ago.

Film  also won Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, and Best Director for Jaime Pacena II in his feature directorial debut.

Given the nature of the movie’s story, Gabby found  deep connection with “Kono Basho” as she, too, has lost her father.

On Instagram, Gabby mentioned her father, her “#1 fan who’s got  best seat in the house”  in her list of dedications.

Gabby said it was amusing and equally special to share  Best Actress award with Marian, “Ang bongga ‘di ba!”
