Aside from their respective victories, the event also marked the first time Maris and Rico were seen at the same public gathering since their breakup in July 2024.
The night's recognition highlighted another milestone for Rico, who has built a successful career in music before venturing into acting. For Maris, the Best Actress award further cemented her reputation as one of the country's most promising performers, making the ceremony a memorable one for both artists despite their shared past.
Maris Racal has built a strong reputation as a multi-talented figure in the entertainment industry, known for her work as an actress, singer-songwriter, dancer, and entrepreneur. She first rose to prominence in 2014 after finishing as the runner-up in "Pinoy Big Brother: All In," where she became known as the "Singing Sunshine of Davao." Following her stint on reality television, she joined Star Magic and gradually established herself in both acting and music.
Maris gave an emotional acceptance speech after winning the Best Actress award at the 9th Eddys for her performance in "Sunshine." During her remarks, the actress dedicated the honor to women and urged those who have fallen to continue rising despite life's challenges. Rather than centering on her achievement alone, Maris expressed gratitude to the people behind the film who helped her prepare for the demanding role.
Earlier, Maris celebrated a major milestone in her acting career after winning her first-ever Best Actress award. The actress received the honor at the 6th Pinoy Rebyu Awards, held on June 22, 2026, at Ateneo de Manila University, in recognition of her acclaimed performance in the 2024 film "Sunshine." Grateful for everyone who supported her journey in film, Maris took to her official Instagram page to share the milestone with her followers.
