Eva Fonda took home the special prize award during the recent Seoul International Drama Awards 2009 for the drama category. The series' lead actress Cristine Reyes personally received the award in Korea.
The
Kapamilya actress is very happy and overwhelmed because her program is
known not only in the Philippines but in this neighboring country. The actress also shared that
when she went to Korea, some Koreans would
address her as Eva Fonda. Cristine did not expect the warm welcome that
she received from her supporters who also asked for her autograph and
photo with her.
This is the
first time that the Philippines was awarded since the prestigious
international award giving body started four years ago.
169 soap
operas from 37 countries joined, including entries from Russia, Turkey,
UK, Singapore and Iran. Cristine as well as the entire Eva Fonda staff are thankful for the award which gives recognition to their hard work.
Joining
Cristine in Korea were ABS-CBN Head of TV Entertainment Linggit Tan and
the two directors of Eva Fonda, John Red and Frasco Mortiz.
Also nominated as Best Actress, Cristine presented two awards during the recent awards ceremony which was held last Friday, September 11, at the Olympic Park in South Korea.
