"Unang-una, ang bigat pala ng ano no, ng trophy niyo. It's my first. Thank you so much po FAMAS. No'ng tinanggap ko ang pelikula na 'A Very Good Girl,' di naman ako nag-eexpect any awards or nominations. Tinanggap ko ang pelikula na to dahil naniniwala ako sa materyal, naniwala ako sa mga kasama ko.
