While elder sister Vina Morales is charting her own popularity in the biz, younger sis Shaina Magdayao is also making her presence felt in nearly all her multimedia performances.
Oh! The Cebuana siblings are still indeed making waves in show business.
While Vina might also be engaged in music as she is a cast member of Broadway’s “Here Lies Love,” Shaina is more inclined to acting in the international cinema stage.
As a matter of fact, Magdayao has been casted in many thought-provoking and substantive films of internationally acclaimed directors Brillante Ma. Mendoza and Lav Diaz.
Shaina was seen at the 2023 Busan International Film Festival in Busan, South Korea to represent Lav’s “Essential Truth of the Lake” which has won a lot of awards in international events, the latest of which is its harvests of the Special Jury Prize, Best Director and Golden Leopard plums at the 2023 Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.
In Busan, Magdayao shone in her acting prowess when the film was screened to foreign audiences.
She was a darling of the press in the Korean film gig.
Liza Diño-Seguerra — former chair of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and now sending local filmmaking internationally — noticed Shaina magical attraction in Busan.
“Bumped into dear friend and rising international star, Shaina Magdayao at Indonesian Night. She's here to represent Lav Diaz's film 'Essential Truth of the Lake' at BIFF 2023,” noted Liza in her Facebook wall.
Magdayao is indeed a Cebu Pride.
