Philippines actor John Arcilla was the surprise choice for the best acting award at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
The 55-year-old took home the prize for his starring role in On the Job: The Missing 8, a crime thriller that delves into corruption and fake news.
“I’m the happiest actor tonight also because I know we come from different countries and we have different languages and cultures, yet I can feel the oneness tonight... because of the art of cinema,” he said in a video message.
Though presented as a film at the festival, it is due to be cut into a six-part mini-series for HBO.
Arcilla stars as a radio host forced to re-think his support for the Philippine government after a series of assassinations.
