Proud talaga siya as in siya &#x27;yung nagsasabi sa kapitbahay na may palabas akong pelikula. &#x27;Siya si Alessandra, &#x27;yung anak ko, nasa Netflix,&#x27; ganun. That&#x27;s my dad,&quot; she relayed.</p><p>Recalling the first award she ever received, the Pugliesi nel Mondo award in 2011, the Filipino-Italian actress said her father was especially elated by the recognition. The Pugliesi nel Mondo award honors distinguished individuals who were born in or trace their roots to Italy’s Puglia region.</p><p>&quot;Proud na proud siya like &#x27;yung first award ko, &#x27;yung Pugliesi nel Mondo, &#x27;yung mga taga-Puglia na nagdadala ng honor, buong region &#x27;yun.

She cited her long-awaited Urian Best Actress win.</p><p>&quot;Siguro baka &#x27;yung Urian ko kasi nga ang tagal ko sa kanilang forever nominated. Tapos nung time na nanalo akong Best Actress, pandemic, so walang awards ceremony. Tapos parang kailangan pre-recorded &#x27;yung speech. Pero &#x27;yun special &#x27;yun kasi ang daming naghintay nun for me. Tapos &#x27;yung Aktres ng Dekada ng Urian,&quot; she said.</p><p>In a previous interview with <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong></a>, Alessandra shared that she has always been intentional in choosing the roles she takes on.</p><p>&quot;I think nagkataon that I started with<em> Azucena</em> and then <em>Hubog, Mga Munting Tinig.</em> Tapos &#x27;yung mga films na parang laging nasa festivals, films na parang may strong message. Tapos sabi ko, &#x27;Parang ito yata &#x27;yung dapat kong gawin?&#x27; And then &#x27;yun, magmula nun &#x27;yun na. Up until pumasok &#x27;yung television. The rest is history,&quot; she remarked.</p>
