I really just want to like bow down and be grateful for this blessing, for this moment, na lahat nung pinaghirapan namin, we prepared, we shot it, talagang how many weeks namin pinaghandaan, and finally seeing it on the screen. It was something really special. Something that I'm really proud of. I'm honored to be part of it,” the actor said.
