Co-stars Paulo Avelino and Rachel Alejandro share a scene in 'Ang Larawan,' which was named best picture at the 36th Luna Awards

MANILA -- (UPDATED) A musical based on a play by late National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin took home the most awards at the 36th Luna Awards on Saturday, while ABS-CBN chief content officer Charo Santos-Concio was given the FPJ Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Ang Larawan," an entry to last year's Metro Manila Film Festival, won a total of 7 awards, including the coveted best picture.

The pre-war Manila movie tells the story of two sisters struggling to make ends meet after their painter father falls ill and fails to produce art — its theme of overcoming ravaging poverty remains unfortunately relatable even today.

Star Cinema's "Seven Sundays" was the next big winner with three awards, earning best screenplay and editing to go with a best actor win for one of its lead stars, Aga Muhlach.
