Also present were ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc.’s head Kriz Gazmen and one of the film’s stars, the veteran actor Rez Cortez. </p><p>While the stars spoke of their gratitude for each other during the thanksgiving, Direk Cathy’s speech proved to be unexpectedly touching for everyone. She admitted how very much aware she is about the difficulties of working with her, yet Vice Ganda remained cooperative and giving. It sure is something that trickled down to everyone else in the production, which resulted in the success of the film. </p><p>“Maraming beses akong nakiusap sa iyo at nagbigay ka,” Direk Cathy addressed and commended Vice for the trust he graciously and generously gave her. </p><p>Watch the romcom master director’s full speech above to hear more of her moving tribute to her entire “Partners in Crime” production team! <br/> <br/>RELATED VIDEOS: </p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iX_lCEGvEJk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U-zwQ2Lp_do" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SJp1bfBENmQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>
