After her win at the New York Asian Film Festival earlier this year, Cinema One Originals actress and the star of award-winning indie film Hamog  once again brought pride to the country on the international scene after bagging the coveted Best Actress award at the Moscow International Film Festival in Russia. She is the first Filipino to win an award in the festival.

Malvar won the St. George Prize for Best Actress for her role in the Cinema One Originals film Hamog (Haze), directed by Ralston Jover, which also recently won the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Golden Goblet award at the 2016 Shanghai International Film Festival. It was also the festival’s centerpiece presentation.

At 15 years old, Malvar is the youngest Filipino actress to win a Best Actress Award in an A-list film festival.

It can be remembered that Malvar made waves in 2013 when she beat Superstar Nora Aunor in the Best Actress category at the 2013 Cine Filipino Film Festival. Three years later, the young actress had already collected three Best Actress awards for her excellent and notable performances in her films.
