Atayde, who began dating Mendoza last year, beat out 9 other finalists, including representatives from China, Singapore and India. She won the category, according to the Asian Academy Creative Awards judges, for her “poise,” “subtlety,” and the way she “nailed the complexity of her character.”
In “Bagman,” produced by Dreamscape and Rein Entertainment for ABS-CBN’s iWant, Atayde played the role of a common barber who got caught up in the dangerous world of politics.
Others who congratulated Atayde included his sister, Ria Atayde.
“¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Ria wrote in Twitter, before sharing a photo of her teary-eyed.
