Newcomer Krystel Go was named Best Actress for the film I’mPerfect. This was a major milestone for Krystel, marking a powerful achievement for a first-time performer. However, many netizens did not agree with the results. A large number of people online felt that UnMarry lead actress Angelica Panganiban was the one who truly deserved to bring home the trophy.
For Angelica's supporters, it felt as though the actress had been "robbed" of the award for the second time, especially given her excellent performance in her big-screen comeback. Despite the outcome, Angelica proved why she is the industry's "humor queen" by maintaining her grace and professionalism.
When she was given the chance to speak on stage, Angelica jokingly mentioned that she had a speech ready but simply never found the right moment to use it. “I had prepared a speech but never got the right moment to deliver it,” she remarked, drawing laughter from the audience.
