Kapuso stars Jaclyn Jose and John Arcilla won trophies at the 34th Luna Awards of the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP).
John received the Best Actor award for his remarkable performance of the titular character in the indie film “Heneral Luna,” which was a surprise box-office hit during its extended run in theaters nationwide.
Meanwhile, 2016 Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Jaclyn Jose was recognized for her part in the Brillante Mendoza film “Ma’ Rosa.” On Instagram, the actress thanked Star for all Seasons Vilma Santos and FAP President Leo Martinez for nominating “Ma’Rosa” to the 2017 Oscars. “Thank you for your recognition. Thank you for giving ‘Ma’ Rosa’ a chance to be part of the Oscars, we are praying for support,” her post read in part.
John is part of the “Encantadia” cast while Jaclyn is one of the lead stars on “Alyas Robin Hood,” both on GMA.

‘Saintly’ Aljur
Yes, in his new film, “Ang Hapis At Himagsik Ni Hermano Puli (The Agony And Fury Of Brother Puli),” Aljur Abrenica is saintly, a far cry from the usual rugged yet hunky persona he projects onscreen.
The movie, directed by Gil Portes and produced by Rex Tiri of T-Rex Entertainment, is now in select theaters nationwide.
Also starring Louise delos Reyes, Enzo Pineda, Menggie Cobarrubias, Kiko Matos, Markki Stroem, Vin Abrenica and Allen Abrenica in an introductory role, “Hermano Puli” tells the story of Apolinario de la Cruz, better known as Hermano Puli, a Filipino religious leader from Lucban, Tayabas (now Quezon) who founded the Cofradia de San Jose exclusively for native Filipinos.
It is said that before this, Hermano Puli tried to join an order for preachers in Manila but was rejected because of his race. He decided to work as a lay brother at the San Juan de Dios Hospital where he studied the Bible along with other religious writings.
The Cofradia de San Jose was successful and it grew to have more than 5000 members. But soon its existence came to the knowledge of the friars. On Nov. 1, 1841, colonial military forces captured Hermano Puli and he was tried and executed.
