“Hindi ko pa rin mapaliwanag. Sa totoong salita, napakasurreal pa rin ng mga pangyayari sa’kin. Sa lahat ng awards night sa maniwala man or hindi, may parte ng puso mo na hindi ka maniniwala pero may parte ng puso mo na kumakapit na sana,” she said.

(I still can’t explain what I feel. In other words, what happened to me was surreal. Believe it or not, you would get a feeling of not believing in your potential to win an award in every ceremony. But there’s a part of you that would hold on to hope.)

“Ang cliche sabihin na mapabilang ka sa history ng MMFF 50, ‘yun pa lang ang sarap ng pakinggan. Pero makapag-uwi ka ng award na ganito kabigat in this historic MMFF, walang kapantay, walang kapalit,” she continued. “It’s so good to be part of this history. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na naiuwi ko siya at kasama ko sa sa pagtulog niya ngayon.”

(Anything can happen because the MMFF has 10 beautiful entries with great actors. It’s cliche to say this, but to be part of the MMFF’s 50th edition is wonderful to hear. But to bring home an award in his historic MMFF, the feeling is indescribable and irreplaceable. It’s good to be part of this history. I still can’t believe I brought home this award and am able to sleep with it.)
