Asia’s Box Office Superstar Kathryn Bernardo won the prestigious Outstanding Asian Star award in the Seoul International Drama Awards (SDA) 2023.
In her acceptance speech, Kathryn thanked health workers and expressed her gratitude to ABS-CBN’s “2 Good 2 Be True” series. “I fell in love with this project because of its unique storyline. It’s always been more than just sharing a love story with our audience; it’s also spreading awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and educating people about those who struggle with it and how we can offer them the best support they need. This project made me appreciate our nurses and our healthcare workers, so it was really more than just another TV show for me,” the Kapamilya star said.

She played the character of Ali, a nurse who cares for an elderly billionaire (Lolo Sir/Hugo Agcaoili played by Ronaldo Valdez) suffering from Alzheimer’s. During its successful run, the show was commended for educating viewers on properly doing health procedures like CPR and the FAST method that can help save lives.
Kathryn shared her award with the “2 Good 2 Be True” team and thanked her fans in the Philippines. She hopes to see more world-class content created for Filipinos. “I am so proud and humbled to be on this stage representing Filipino talent and being a Filipino. This means so much to me. Thank you so much, and from the bottom of my heart, maraming-maraming salamat po,” she added.
In September, fans saw Kathryn again on the big screen in ABS-CBN Film Productions’ “A Very Good Girl” opposite award-winning actress Dolly De Leon. On its opening day, the movie earned over P10 million. As of October 2023, the film has earned more than P100 million. Aside from the US the movie was also shown in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Guam and Saipan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Nigeria, and the Middle East.
