Santos uploaded photos and snaps on Instagram, showing her receiving her newest international acting award from the event.

“I would like to thank the jury, Fantasporto for the recognition. It is with great pride and honor that I’m here to represent my country which is the Philippines. To my husband and to my three children, they’ve always been my inspiration in every project I make. I’m just so happy I will be bringing the best souvenir. Thank you,” Santos said in her acceptance speech.

Santos was accompanied by her husband actor-host Ryan Agoncillo in attending the international film festival.

In a separate clip, Santos thanked and dedicated the award to the film’s director Chito S. Roño and all the people behind “Espantaho.”

“Siyempre para sa inyo hindi. Hindi naman ako makakarating dito kung hindi kayo ang kasama ko. So to God be the glory. … Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!,” Santos said.

“Espantaho” was one of the official entries to last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, where Santos also took home the Best Actress trophy.
