CEBUANO actor Kenneth Earl Medrano is one of the nominees at the 34th Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) Star Awards for Movies.
Medrano is nominated in the New Movie Actor of the Year category for the 2017 horror-comedy film “Trip Ubusan,” where he played
Aladin, Ryza Mae Dizon’s older brother and the secret boyfriend of Taki Saito.
