PAULO Avelino dedicated his Best Actor award to Aki, his son with his former girlfriend LJ Reyes.
Paulo, 32, was among the big winners at the 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival awards night held on Dec. 27, for his performance in the movie “Fan Girl.”
“Alam ko mahirap ang buhay ngayon para sa karamihan sa atin, pero pinapanalangin ko lang na sana umayos ang lahat,” the actor said. “Kumapit lang tayo, lumaban lang tayo, at sigurado akong darating ang panahon, sa hindi malayong kinabukasan, na giginhawa ulit ang mga pamumuhay natin.”
“So thank you, thank you so much. This is for you, Aki,” he added.
“Fan Girl” swept this year’s MMFF after winning a total of eight awards.
“Fan Girl” tells the story of an obsessed teenaged fan who finds herself stuck inside a mansion with her celebrity idol for one night and learns “exactly why they say never meet your heroes.” (Push)
