No trophy needed, Angelica Panganiban shines bright in ‘UnMarry’

The actress went on to thank her husband, Gregg Homan, for supporting her return to her passion. “Actually, gusto ko pasalamatan ang asawa ko dahil hinahayaan niya akong gawin ang first love ko, which is creating and making films and movies. Gusto ko lang sabihin sa inyo kung gaano ko po kamahal ang industriyang ito, kaya po sana, magtulungan po tayo at pilitin po nating buhayin ang pelikulang Pilipino,” she shared, earning another round of applause.

Beyond awards night, “UnMarry” continues to speak for itself. The film has received an undeniably positive response from moviegoers and has emerged as one of the top-grossing entries of this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival—clear proof that its story and performances resonated deeply with the public.

Meanwhile, Go’s historic win for “I’mPerfect” also marked a powerful moment for representation. Her victory highlighted that talent knows no boundaries and amplified awareness and sensitivity toward persons with Down syndrome. In her emotional acceptance speech, she said, “Salamat po sa pagkakataong ito para mabigyan kami ng boses at maipakita namin na kaya rin namin umarte ng mga persons with Down syndrome. Higit sa lahat, Lord, tinupad Niyo po ang pangarap ko, naming lahat, na maging artista.”
