TV Actor of the Year

By all means, such a successful TV series couldn’t be done without the essence of the actors’ and actresses’ portrayals and their connection with the audience. Let us know your winner predictions for those who gave the best performance this year!

  • Donny Pangilinan (He’s Into Her 2)
  • Daniel Padilla (2 Good 2 Be True)
  • Dennis Trillo (Maria Clara at Ibarra)
  • Alden Richards (Start-Up PH)
  • Joshua Garcia (Darna)
  • Ruru Madrid (Lolong)

After winning VPCA 2021’S Male Promising Star of the Year, Donny Pangilinan is also nominated in this category with his character as Deib in He’s Into Her‘s season 2. Daniel Padilla‘s portrayal of Eloy is a true manifestation of his evolution from a Teen King to the Supreme Idol. After many notable TV roles in varying genres, Dennis Trillo has many reasons to be proud as the Drama King and as the iconic Crisóstomo Ibarra.

Furthermore, Start-Up PH’s second lead, the”good boy” Tristan played by Asia’s Multimedia Star, Alden Richards is his breath of fresh air from playing lead roles. The audience also applauded Joshua Garcia‘s character as the police officer, Brian, especially when he delivered a strong performance of a Dark Brian. Action-Drama Prince Ruru Madrid also became highlight of last year’s primetime when he gained a titular character which he prepared through intense stunt training.

TV Actress of the Year

  • Belle Mariano (He’s Into Her 2)
  • Bea Alonzo (Start-Up PH)
  • Barbie Forteza (Maria Clara at Ibarra)
  • Jillian Ward (Abot Kamay na Pangarap)
  • Kathryn Bernardo (2 Good 2 Be True)
  • Jodi Sta. Maria (The Broken Marriage Vow)

Considered her biggest role to date, Belle Mariano as Maxpein totally showcased her growth from being a child star to the ultimate leading lady. The well-respected Box Office Queen, Bea Alonzo and her versatility as an actress in Start-Up PH is also not something to be ignored. A recipient of several local and international awards, Barbie Forteza has done it again in her comedic character as Klay.

Once the adorable Trudis Liit, Jillian Ward is landing more serious actress roles like her lead character Analyn. The most recognizable face in the industry, Asia’s Superstar, Kathryn Bernardo also slayed in her curly-haired character, Ali, earning praise in her medical scenes. Last but definitely not least, Jodi Sta. Maria also delivered the most goosebump-inducing scenes in her scathing character as Dr Jill Ilustre.

TV Supporting Actor of the Year

  • Yves Flores (2 Good 2 Be True)
  • David Licauco (Maria Clara at Ibarra)
  • Jameson Blake (A Family Affair)
  • Paul Salas (Lolong)
  • Zaijian Jaranilla (Darna)
  • Juancho Triviño (Maria Clara at Ibarra)

Yves Flores‘ natural take on a humorous character of Red added depth to the chemistry that the show already brings. Of course, we can’t forget the hype of David Licauco‘s acting as Fidel, who serenaded and broke everyone’s hearts. Jameson Blake also shone in his portrayal of Drew, especially in the scenes where he was confronted and repented for his crimes.

Meanwhile, the show’s truly heart-rending son–Paul Salas‘ character, Martin ultimately showed his skills in action and crying scenes. Darna or Narda‘s sidekick and brother, Ding, played by Zaijian Jaranilla who gave life to the comic series’ teenage geek. Juancho Triviño also gave justice to his first antagonist role as Padre Salvi which made the audience grit their teeth in frustration.

  • Sue Ramirez (The Broken Marriage Vow)
  • Kazel Kinouchi (Abot Kamay na Pangarap)
  • Kaori Oinuma (He’s Into Her 2)
  • Janella Salvador (Darna)

Andrea Torres plunged into the pit of insanity during her heavy portrayal of Sisa and received many positive responses. Kakai Bautista‘s role as Pepita always brought humor and fun to every First Lady‘s scene that she was in. Sue Ramirez also proved her diverse acting range as she embarked on the mistress role of Lexy.

Meanwhile, the viewers’ gigil to Zoey in Abot Kamay ng Pangarap is strong evidence that Kazel Kinouchi is an effective new kontrabida. He’s Into Her Season 2‘s characters underwent development and maturity, including the girl-next-door Michiko as enlivened by Kaori Oinuma. No messing around with Janella Salvador as she devoured her alluring serpent character, Regina or Valentina who caught the audience as her prey.

Indeed, these stars’ prominence reflects in almost every spectrum. But among these nominees, who are the most deserving to be recipients of the VP Choice Awards?
