Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 14) — The month seems to be getting better for Lea Salonga.
The Grammy-nominated actress won two accolades at the recent 31st Aliw Awards. Her 40th anniversary concert, LS40, won the Best Major Concert (Female) category.
Salonga tied with Eric Santos for Entertainer of the Year.
On her Facebook, Salonga thanked all those involved with the LS40 Concert, including CNN Philippines.
“Thank you, Aliw Awards, for the Best Major Concert (Female) award for LS40. It was a labor of love for all of us involved,” Salonga said.
She also dedicated the award to her mother.
“Since it was the concert that won and not the artist, that trophy belongs to my mother, the indomitable and indefatigable Ligaya Salonga, who at 81 years old is one of the fiercest humans on the planet. The concert truly was hers; all I had to do was get up on stage in a cool tux or gown and sing,” Salonga added.
Salonga will return to the Broadway revival of Once on This Island. The album of the musical was nominated for Best Musical Theater Album in the 61st Grammy Awards.
