Philippine Entertainment's Ultimate Heartthrob, Piolo Pascual, has solidified his status as a leading man by winning the Film Actor of the Year award for his performance in "Mallari" at the just concluded Box Office Entertainment Awards. This accolade, presented by the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation (GMMSF), Inc., coincides with the announcement that the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival horror entry, "Mallari," will make its highly anticipated debut on Netflix on June 21.

"Mallari" is a chilling cinematic journey into the psyche of Fr. Juan Severino Mallari, the Philippines' sole documented serial killer from the 19th century. This meticulously crafted film, the first-ever Filipino production to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, intertwines historical accuracy with psychological horror. Pascual brought three challenging characters to life in the film.
