“Unang-una po sa lahat, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa bumubuo ng MMFF. Sobrang unreal po sa pakiramdam na nandito yung team Deleter ngayon kasi hindi po talaga namin ine-expect na makakasama yung Deleter sa MMFF.
“Ito pong award na to, dine-dedicate ko po sa pamilya ko, sa mga kaibigan ko na patuloy na sumusuporta sa akin, sa boyfriend ko pong si Chris. And of course, Viva family ko and sa team Deleter. Sobrang saya po namin and hindi po talaga namin ine-expect ito,” she said.
The film Deleter bagged the following awards: Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Visual Effect, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Director for Mikhail Red, and Best Actress for Lustre.
