“With her latest international award and a baby on the way, seems like blessings are really pouring in for our girl!” the post said.

Rita simply replied, “Thank [you], my Sparkle family.”

In “Huling Ulan sa Tag-Araw,” Rita played Luisa, a bar entertainer and family breadwinner, opposite Ken Chan’s Luis, a seminarian who longs for a sign.

After a chance meeting, they go to Luis’ house in the province where they start developing feelings for each other but are unsure whether their love would last.

The Kapuso actress was also nominated for a FAMAS award for her role and for singing the film’s theme song “Umulan Man o Umaraw.” —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
