MANILA - A visibly moved Jasmine Curtis-Smith won the Best Actress trophy for her role in "Baka Bukas" at the 2016 Cinema One Originals Film Festival awards night held Sunday evening.

Playing a lesbian who is in love with her best friend, the actress emerged victorious from a pool of nominees that included Shaina Magdayao ("Lily"), Natalie Hart ("Tisay"), and Peewee O'Hara ("Si Magdalola at ang mga Gago"). She dedicated her win to the plight of the LGBT community.

"Mabuhay ang LGBT community!" shouted Curtis-Smith to applause from the crowd, before, in tears, adding: "We have a voice. I am with you guys whether I am LGBT or not. I stand with you guys and I will be with you all the way."

When it came time to the thank-you portion of her remarks, Curtis-Smith, the younger sister of Kapamilya star Anne Curtis, had nothing but love for her co-stars and the film's director, Samantha Lee.
