GORGY RULA:
Nanginginig si Piolo Pascual nang tanggapin ang best actor trophy niya sa 7th The EDDYS noong Hulyo 7, 2024, sa Ceremonial Hall ng Marriott Grand Ballroom, Newport World Resorts, Pasay City.
Iyon ay para sa pelikulang Mallari, na siya ring rason para tanghalin siya bilang isa sa Box Office Heroes.

Pahayag ni Piolo, “Ahhh sorry, nanginginig pa rin po ako. Ahh I had to write a speech, actually this was for the Box Office Hero award a while ago.
“But I wasn’t really expecting to win, so just forgive me for shaking. I’d like to… whoa! Ahhh gusto ko munang batiin lahat ng mga nominado dito.
"Ahhh Jelo, Ced. Mr. Romnick Sarmenta—he’s my best actor. And also si Dong saka si Alden. I share this award with you, guys. Whoa!”
Jelo ang palayaw ni Elijah Canlas. Ang Ced ay si Cedrick Juan. Ang Dong ay si Dingdong Dantes. Ang Alden ay si Alden Richards.
Pagpapatuloy ni Piolo, “OK, can I just read this? Ahh, thank you to our dearly beloved editors for this award. I hold this close to my heart because it comes from friends from the industry.
“Thank you so much as we celebrate Philippine cinema, I’m reminded of the task that we have at hand, which is to not just celebrate but to carry on and make sure that we’re leaving a good trail for people to appreciate, and hopefully be inspired by what we do.
"I’m humbled by this and I’m sincerely grateful for the honor. Thanks to our dear Lord for always making sure that I’m properly guided by like-minded people.
“And to my family, my mom who’s my greatest fan and supporter, my strength. My son who inspires me to always give my best in everything that I do…"

NOEL FERRER
Congratulations sa ating mga mahal na editors ng Society of Philippines Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) sa pagmo-mount ng maayos na EDDYS awards ceremonies.
Sa darating na 40th Star Awards for Movies ng Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) sa Hulyo 21 sa Ateneo de Manila University, sana ay mapanatili nilang credible ang mga choices at hindi nagkakagulatan ng mga awardees.
So far, si Piolo Pascual ang parehong choice ng FAMAS at EDDYS sa pagka-Best Actor, pati kaya sa Star?
Sa Best Supporting Actor naman, pareho ang choice ng FAMAS at PMPC except that may ka-tie si LA Santos sa Star na si JC, na Santos din.
Iba’t iba talaga ang panlasa dahil sina Piolo, JC at LA ay hindi man lang na-nominate sa Urian, di ba? Pero wagi sila sa ibang grupo.
Maganda siguro kung maiupo ang mga reps ng iba’t ibang award-giving bodies at malaman natin ang kanilang puntos sa pagpapanalo at pagre-reject ng mga pelikula at personalidad. Doon kasi tayo natututo.
