<p>With her horror film Deleter emerging as the big winner at the 48th Metro Manila Film Festival awards night, Nadine Lustre admitted it was not the most important thing for her that her film was at the top of the box office.</p><p>“I think second to the last shoot namin, that’s when they told us na ilalagay siya sa MMFF. So we didn’t know how to feel to be honest kasi MMFF is such a big thing. But we’re really, really happy to be part of the MMFF. To me kasi it doesn’t really matter if you’re number one, two, three, four, five, whatever. At least everyone’s enjoying the film. That’s the only thing that matters.</p><p>“I’m really very happy kasi nga this is my first time doing a horror film. So at least alam ko na kaya ko pala mag-horror film. And after watching din nung premiere night, I was really, really happy with the work that I did. I’m just happy that everyone’s enjoying the film,” she said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/3/fresh-scoops/nadine-lustre-on-her-past-self-that-person-was-a-d-204245"><u><strong>READ: Nadine Lustre on her past self: ‘That person was a different Nadine’<br/></strong></u></a></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmq1l9vP5Fe/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1226880.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A380303.39999997616%2C%22le%22%3A380586.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="718" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmrV0vkgGpi/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1226916.7999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A380303.39999997616%2C%22le%22%3A380586.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="718" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>After winning Best Actress for her performance, the 29-year-old star said she is proud of her work in her horror acting debut. “Parang lahat naman kina-career ko talaga (laughs).
