00:09because of her achievements recently.

00:16Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
00:21Best Actress Win!
00:25Sparkle star, Ashley Ortega, is still in Cloud 9.
00:29After winning Best Actress at the Harlem International Film Festival in New York City
00:36for the 2023 Cinemalaya film, As If It's True,
00:40where she played the role of Khalil Ramos.
00:43Ashley is also proud that their film is the only Filipino film
00:47to be included in the film fest.
00:49First acting award, and what made it special,
00:52abroad, in New York,
00:54it's so fulfilling that all our hard work paid off
00:58because our film was recognized, the Filipino film,
01:01and of course, my craft as an actress.
01:04Because of the award,
01:06Ashley was even more inspired to improve her craft as an actor.
01:11Her acting workshop is still ongoing
01:13under Sparkle Prime Workshop Facilitator Head, Anna Fileo,
01:17as a preparation for the biggest Kapuso family drama,
01:21Pulang Araw,
01:22where she will act as a comfort woman.
01:25This is the character that I really take it seriously
01:28and do my research about it
01:30because it really happened in the past,
01:33it's part of our history,
01:35and I was able to interview real comfort women.
01:39She's very sensitive,
01:41so I don't want to make a mistake.
01:42It's hard to make a mistake.
01:43Ashley was also recognized by an online entertainment website
01:47as one of the scene stealers in their Best Bets 2024 list.
01:51Also on the list are the other Sparkle 10 girls,
01:54Faith Da Silva,
01:56Lian Valentin,
01:57Kate Valdez,
01:58and Lizelle Lopez.
02:01Ashley is thankful for the recognition
02:03that she got from her past Kapuso projects
02:06like Hearts on Ice,
02:08Widows Web,
02:09and Legal Wife.
02:11So I think that's the reason,
02:14and of course, the help of Sparkle Artist Center.
02:18They trained me,
02:20they are the one who molded me,
02:22Ate Anna Faleo,
02:23she helped me with my craft.
02:25So it's also because of them that I'm here today.
