Miharu in ‘The Platform’ actually has Filipino roots

ONE has probably watched Spanish film “The Platform,” or “El Hoyo,” by now. Sure you gained more than learning from it as well. But did you know that the actress who plays Miharu in the movie is actually of Filipino descent?

According to a 2014 report by GMA News, Alexandra Masangkay was born in Barcelona, Spain, but her parents were originally from Batangas, Philippines!

In 2011, she competed in the Spanish version of “American Idol.”

Alexandra’s previous acting projects include the musical series “Dreamland” (2014), war film 1898: “Our Last Men In The Philippines’ (2016), and TV show “+ De 100 Mentiras” (2018). This year, she starred in a movie musical called “Flashdance.” 

Meanwhile, based on her Instagram account, it looks like Alexandra regularly visits the Philippines!

Her film, “The Platform,” features a vertical “prison” with hundreds of floors. Every day, a platform filled with food descends from the top level. There’s more than enough food to feed everyone if all the inmates only eat what they need. A man named Goreng (Iván Massagué) tries to make a difference, and during his time inside “The Pit,” he meets a woman named Miharu who is looking for her child.(Cosmo)
