Sassa Gurl bags first acting award for performance in 'Bar Boys: After School'

February 20 ------ Sassa Gurl marked a milestone in her career as she recently received her first acting award. On her Instagram page, the content creator turned actress posted: "Oh di ba, ganap na kong professional entertainer. Nakuha ko ang una kong acting award for Bar Boys: After School, Breakthrough Actress of the year sa Platinum Stallion National Media Award 2026."

Sassa looked back on her acting journey, expressing her gratitude to those who helped shape her as an actress. "Mula sa set ng Balota hangang sa BBAS, hindi ako gagaling magiging mas mulat kung wala ang utak ng direk @kipoebanda. Hindi lang sa craft ng acting [pati] na rin sa buhay ay binago ako ng mga nakatrabaho ko. Ang mga salita ni Mommy Odette, 'An actor should be brave,' ay nabaon ko hangang sa mga susunod kong pag arte. And of course hindi ko mahahanap ang boses ko sa industriyang ito kung wala ang mentor kong si Direk @iamrodafrog," she stated.

Sassa also thanked the cast and crew of Bar Boys: After School for being part of her journey. She concluded her post with words for her supportive fans. "At sa mga NAKSHT kong hindi ako sinukuan, never kayong iiwan sa kanal, nasa mansion man ako yung bathtub puno padin ng tubig kanal. Eme!!" she quipped.
