“So, nagulat lang ako noong nag-present ako ng award nakita ko iyong pangalan ko sa mga nominees. Iyon pa lang, isang karangalan na ang makasama ka roon sa mga nominated na mga artista, mga actor, hindi ba?” Edgar added.
Edgar admitted that he got a little emotional upon hearing his name as the winner of the award.
“So para sa akin, noong tinawag iyong pangalan ko, nagulat lang ako and siyempre naging emosyonal kahit papaano. Pero nabawi ko naman iyon noong humarap na ako sa stage,” he shared.
“Deadma Walking” also stars Joross Gamboa, who is also nominated as Best Actor, however, “All Of You” actor Derek Ramsay won the award.
The “My Korean Jagiya” actor also revealed that he prayed to St. Claire and offered eggs to the patron saint.
“Oo, sa St. Claire sa may Katipunan kanina. Actually after ko mag-rehearse on stage sa Biyaheng Langit iyong prod ko, talagang pumunta ako roon. So nagpunta ako, nagdasal ako kay Lord na kung bibigyan niya ako ng award, bakit hindi? Pero, maiintindihan ko kung hindi. So nagbunga yun, eto Best Supporting actor and ‘Thank you Lord’ and thank you din sa Metro Manila Film Festival para sa award,” he said.
“Yes (nadinig ni Lord ang prayers ko), ang bilis… grabe talaga si Lord, iba si Lord. Grabe sa bilis, ang gusto mong mangyari, ibigay mo lang sa Kanya, sabihin mo lang sa Kanya, ibibigay Niya sa iyo,” he added.
