I love you so much. For my family, when situations get so tough, I want to let you know that you guys are my greatest mission. Nag artista ako dahil sa inyo,&quot; he said in his acceptance speech.  Maris Racal, meanwhile, took home the Best Actress award for her performance in &quot;Sunshine.&quot; &quot;Sunshine is a girl who had so much promise, who had big, big, dreams, who had such a bright future—pero nadapa, nagkamali. This feels so familiar to me. I know the feeling of losing everything. Matatanong mo sa sarili mo if titigil mo na lang ba. Burado na ba sarili mo—pero hindi. Sa story ni Sunshine pinili niya mabuhay mga pangarap niya. This award is for all the Sunshines in this world. Sa lahat ng mga kababaihan, sa karapatan natin piliin sarili natin. Sa lahat ng nadapa, bangon lang,&quot; Racal said in her acceptance speech.Best Supporting Actress went to Rochelle Pangilinan for &quot;Child No. 82,&quot; while Will Ashley and Rico Blanco tied for Best Supporting Actor. &quot;I&#x27;m very happy for him.

I am genuinely happy for him,&quot; Racal, Blanco&#x27;s ex, said. Several Kapamilya stars were also honored with special awards.
