ACTRESS Cherry Pie Picache has won the Best Actress award for her role in the Philippine entry “Summer Heat” in the recent 28th Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) held from June 20 to July 1, the Department of Foreign Affairs announced on July 10.

Citing the report of Philippine Ambassador to South Africa Virgilio Reyes Jr., the DFA said in a press statement that Picache was cited “for her sustained and controlled performance of the character of the gay sister, Jess, who despite her apparent cultivated masculine exterior betrays a softness which can hardly be seen but can be felt by all.”

The DFA said the DIFF was organized by the Centre for Creative Arts and funded by the National Film and Video Foundation, National Lottery Distribution Fund, Hivos, Stichting Doen, City of Durban, Ethekwini Municipality, KwaZuluNatal Department of Economic Development, with support from the Royal Netherlands Embassy, French Embassy, Goethe Institute, and other partners.

The DIFF presented a selection of the best in cinema from South Africa, Africa, and around the world; some 300 screenings at 22 venues were organized across the Durban district during the festival period.

    kudos to cherry pie!
    you are now belong to a very short list of pinoy cinema’s best actresses.
    until now,your role as a nun in Bata..Bata..Pano Ka Ginawa? still undeleted in my full-spaced memory.
    in due time, you will take the caliber of another Vilma Santos.time tested,eternal acting intelligence.
    Go..Go..Go..Cherry Pie!
