Hindi ko hiningi na umabot dito sa unang araw. Hindi ko din inakala ang lahat ng papuri ninyo. Wala akong hininging kapalit kung hindi ang, sana, may manood ng pelikula. Naniniwala ako sa materyal na meron kami. Madaming madami ang pagsubok na inakala ko, na hindi na to mabubuo. Dedication and hard work really pays off. Kung makapal lang mukha ko, nag picture na ko habang umiiyak ngayon. Thank you @v_r_v_ for a very beautiful script! To you and @hyroaguinaldo ❤️ bawat linya sa pelikula, importante. Thank you direk Maryo! For believing in me. It&#x27;s an honor to work with you again. Salamat sir @dongdantes sa muling pagbibigay ng opportunity na makatrabaho ka, na walang sawa kong kkwento sa mga tao kung gaano ka kahusay sa pelikulang to. Hindi masasaktan at babangon si &quot;Anne&quot; kung hindi dahil sa husay ni &quot;Geoff&quot; 🍾 salamat @pauavelino sa unang pagkakataon na makatrabaho ka. May our experiences in this film be our first, and not our last. Sa staff at crew!!!! Kay madam Elma, @marcndeleon , clau, justin at aaron. Salamat!! Ate malou 😍 i miss your mga pa merienda!!
