The actress won the Snow Leopard Rising Star Award at the 10th Asian World Film Festival (AWFF). This prestigious award honors emerging stars who have demonstrated exceptional talent in the film industry and made significant contributions to Asian cinema.
Kathryn received the award with her mother, Min Bernardo and ABS-CBN Films executives in Los Angeles, California.
“I started at the age of six and over the years, I’ve been fortunate to bring a variety of characters to life. Each one gave me something new not just as an actor but as a person. 22 years I am still here pursuing my first love and my passion which is acting,” she said in her speech.
“Yes, I know it’s a tough job but moments like tonight make it all worth it. It is such an honor being here representing my fellow Filipinos and my home network ABS-CBN.”
