The Worst Of Famas Awards - Best Supporting Actress

Celia Fuentes

Arsenia Francisco

 

Marissa Delgado

 

Maricel Laxa

 

Caridad Sanchez

 

Angelica Panganiban

Below is the list of winners who I think stole the award from a more deserving nominated actress(es) or were consolation prizes for previous losses or neglect.

Note: In some cases where there is more than one deserving film portrayal, I noted with - equally outstanding performance means the winner deserves its award while the others are suggested alternatives in Should Have Won.
