Iza Calzado went home victorious on Sunday after being named Best Actress at the 34th Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Movies held at the Newport Peforming Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila.

Calzado was recognized for her performance in the movie “Bliss,” a psychological thriller by “Heneral Luna” director Jerold Tarog.

She bested out Kim Chiu, Sharon Cuneta, Alessandra De Rossi, Agot Isidro, Bela Padilla, Maja Salvador and Jodi Sta. Maria who were also nominated in the same category.

"Ako po ay nanalo sa ibang bansa para sa pelikulang Bliss pero iba po ang manalo sa sarili mong bayan at pahalagahan ka ng kapwa mo Pilipino. I hope I can continue to use this talent and platform to bring light to the world," she said in her acceptance speech.

"I would like to share this award to all the other nominees for movie actress of the year. Star Awards means a lot to me. I grew up watching this because my father would always be part of Star awards. It means so much to me that I finally won and a major award at that," Calzado added.

"Bliss" made its premiere in March last year at the 2017 Osaka Asian Film Festival, where Calzado was awarded the prestigious Yakushi Pearl Award for her performance. It also stars Ian Veneracion.

A synopsis for "Bliss" reads: "Jane Ciego (Iza Calzado) started acting in showbiz at a young age. Now in her 30s, she decides to produce her own film to win some respect in the industry."

"But things do not go as planned and an accident on location cripples her. Jane wakes up unable to walk and trapped in her own home, a large house filled with strange sounds and people who may want to harm her."

"She is looked over by her cold husband Carlo and a sadistic nurse named Lilibeth, and then there is Rose, a nurse wanted by authorities for sexually molesting a patient."

"She mysteriously enters Jane’s life and soon begins affecting her dreams as much as her waking life. Jane’s sanity begins to crumble as the horrors pile up in a symphony of blood, tears and madness. What was supposed to be a simple dream for Jane soon becomes an endless nightmare."

Enrique Gil Adds More Color to His Life with His SAMSUNG Galaxy J2 Pro

Through the years, Samsung has proven to be one of the country’s most trusted smartphone brands. As it continues to harvest some of the Philippines’ top personalities to represent a Samsung phone that perfectly matches their individual personas, a new name is set to appear as the tech giant introduces yet another addition to its J-Series lineup in the form of the all new Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.

After just a decade in showbiz, Enrique Gil has become one of the biggest names in the country. The 25-year-old has top-billed a lot of successful shows and movies, from Dolce Amore to last year’s blockbuster My Ex and Whys. Now, the actor is set to have another jam-packed year ahead of him as he becomes Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation’s newest face for the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.

As he prepares for his new projects with Liza Soberano, Enrique opens 2018 busier than ever, spending most of his time at shoots and tapings. Because of this, Enrique cherishes his free time with the people that bring color to his life, his family.

“I think that we all work and do everything for our family. Yun ang fuel natin to do whatever we want to do,” he says. The actor admits that his onscreen partner also brings vibrancy to his life. Enrique says he also enjoys eating, watching movies, and traveling during these bonding moments with loved ones. “I love travelling. I feel like I’m just looking at everything through a small hole, but the world is so much bigger than just me.”

Apart from that, Enrique enjoys making quick escapes through video games, TV series, and films. “Sometimes I also like getting away from everything and just stay at home to play video games. I’m a gamer, both me and Liza,” he shares. “I also watch a lot of TV series, especially documentaries because I get to learn many things.”

In the midst of all the things that Enrique’s been up to, he’s also excited to tell people about the newest thing that adds more color to his life, his Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.

“There’s something about the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro that just looks too good to be true,” he exclaims. “I like how Samsung’s always one step ahead of the game. Now, I can watch all the videos and play all the games I want in full clarity.”

The Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro, equipped with a Super AMOLED Display that sports 16M colors, is perfect for gamers and TV show lovers like Enrique as it allows them to enjoy their free time even more.

“The Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro is designed for consumers who wish to add a pop of color in their lives. It’s the perfect phone for vibrant personalities that seek quick escapes through their phones by watching videos, playing games and enjoy Instagram feeds, like Enrique,” says Nico Gonzales, Marketing Manager for Core Smartphones, Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. “The Galaxy J2 Pro’s screen aims to give them just that. With its vibrant colors and clearer visuals, it’s going to give users’ a smartphone viewing experience like no other.”

The Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro is now available in the Philippines for PHP 7,490.00.
