Kapamilya stars Arjo Atayde and Kaila Estrada are set to attend ContentAsia Awards 2024 in Taiwan after receiving nominations.

Atayde was nominated for Best Male Lead in a TV Program for his role as Anton dela Rosa in “Cattleya Killer” along with Dingdong Dantes in "Royal Blood." 

Estrada, on the other hand, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Program/Series category for "Linlang."

On Thursday morning before departing for Taipei, Atayde expressed excitement over attending the event.

“First time kong maging nominated [dito] (It's my first time to be nominated here). It’s a new experience,” the actor said.  

“It was a psycho thriller (Cattleya Killer). One thing that I haven’t done. What made it special are the actors, the director, the people behind it, the story… the way it was done,” he added.

Among the challenges Atayde experienced in the series was the development of the character and exploring its depth.

“He was slowly realizing that he was actually the Cattleya Killer but he was in denial… it would be the depth of the character,” he said.

Atayde also thanked the series’ fans and supporters and he hoped there would be a season 2 so he could explore Anton dela Rosa’s “depth” as a character.

“Maraming-maraming salamat sa mga sumusuporta at sumuporta sa 'Cattleya Killer.' It is overwhelming for all of us. From the bottom of our heart, maraming salamat po,” he said.

(Thank you to all who supported and who are supporting 'Cattleya Killer.' From the bottom of our heart, thank you.)


Like Atayde, Estrada also expressed her happiness to attend the ceremony. 

“That in itself, sobrang blessing niya para sa akin and I am so excited to be able to go, to be able to attend,” she said. 

Estrada said portraying Sylvia in "Linlang" is a milestone in her acting career. 

“I feel like, she was a character that I really learned a lot from and being a part of ‘Linlang,’ madami akong natutunan doon – from the directors to the cast... It definitely opened so many doors,” she said. 



After the awarding ceremony, Estrada plans to focus on her new project “Incognito.” Despite her busy schedule, the actress said she could still handle more tasks.

“Kaya ko pa naman! (I still can do it) I really feel like I love being busy and I still have time with my family and spend time with them. Puwede pang maging mas busy (I can be more busy)," added Estrada, who also thanked her fans for the support.

“Thank you for inspiring us every day and thank you for blessing us with Linlang’s success,” she said.

Atayde and Estrada's nominations are two of the six nods that ABS-CBN received from ContentAsia Awards 2024.

On Wednesday, Kapamilya actress-host Kim Chiu departed for Taiwan, also to attend the event. Chiu received a nomination as Best Female Lead in a TV Program/Series for her performance in "Linlang." 

The winners will be announced in the awarding ceremony on September 5 during the 2024 Trendy Taipei music, arts, and innovation festival.
