00:00 - Koy, first of all, congratulations.
00:03 - Thank you, Nuan.
00:04 - You know, the last time I talked to you,
00:07 we were just talking about your movie,
00:09 and the following week, you won a trophy.
00:13 - I know.
00:14 - The press con, right?
00:15 - Yeah, the press con.
00:16 - The press con of Tether.
00:17 - I was so hyped,
00:18 because I hadn't watched the movie yet.
00:23 So I was so excited about it.
00:26 But you also asked me if I had expectations,
00:30 - Yes.
00:31 - for the awards and all.
00:32 And at that time, I didn't have any in mind.
00:34 All I could think of was,
00:35 I gave it my all.
00:36 I did my best.
00:37 I know that's my self.
00:38 I did my best.
00:39 And I wanted to see the final output,
00:41 that I could translate on screen,
00:44 the things I was doing.
00:46 Then, when I saw the movie,
00:48 it felt like everything inside me calmed down.
00:51 - You calmed down.
00:53 - Yeah, I calmed down.
00:55 I was relieved that,
00:56 okay, whatever happens at this point,
00:58 I was able to pull out my courage,
01:00 and say, "Okay, I did a good job."
01:03 So I was able to calm down.
01:06 That, at least I got to see it.
01:08 That's what I was anxious about,
01:11 to see the movie.
01:13 Until,
01:13 until,
01:16 - Until.
01:17 - a few moments before the actual awards night.
01:22 So that awards night,
01:24 I didn't get to see any other entries the whole week.
01:27 So we were chasing two movies,
01:29 that had extended screening that day,
01:31 at the PICC.
01:32 So we were there around 11, 12,
01:35 lunchtime.
01:36 Because we watched Rookie,
01:38 and then we watched Iti Mapok Pukaw.
01:41 And there were so many people.
01:43 So we were waiting in the car.
01:45 I was with my girlfriend, with Isa.
01:47 And then,
01:48 after the second movie,
01:49 when we were in the car,
01:51 we still had an hour and 30 minutes
01:53 before the awards night.
01:54 And then,
01:56 that's when it started for me,
01:57 like,
01:58 "Wait, my stomach is starting to hurt."
02:01 - You were anxious.
02:02 - I was anxious.
02:03 From that,
02:04 to, I was breaking down.
02:07 Like,
02:07 "Oh, it's so hard."
02:11 At first, I thought I was just nervous,
02:13 because I was expecting to win.
02:15 What if I didn't win?
02:17 Like, would I be able to hide my reaction?
02:19 Like, would I get bitter
02:20 if I announced Khaleel's name?
02:22 That's what I was thinking at that time.
02:25 I was telling my girlfriend,
02:26 "Just give it to Khaleel,
02:27 so that this can end."
02:28 "Please text me now,
02:30 tell me that you didn't win,
02:32 and go home."
02:32 That's what I was waiting for on my phone.
02:34 But then,
02:35 really,
02:36 when I fell,
02:37 because it was so long,
02:38 we had so much time in the car,
02:39 I reached the point where,
02:40 "Okay, that's why I'm nervous."
02:42 Because,
02:43 it was really, really hard and new for me,
02:47 and uncomfortable,
02:48 to acknowledge
02:51 myself.
02:52 To acknowledge the work I did.
02:54 I wasn't used to accepting,
02:58 accepting,
02:58 and telling myself that,
03:01 and accepting it wholeheartedly,
03:03 that, "Hey, you did good."
03:04 I was used to,
03:07 at the end of the day,
03:08 when it's just me and myself,
03:09 when I'm driving home from the shoot or whatever,
03:13 I'll still be like,
03:15 "Yeah,
03:16 I'm okay with that scene,
03:17 I like it,
03:18 I did well."
03:19 But,
03:19 I'm not used to it when someone else tells me,
03:22 that there's a lot of people.
03:25 That's what I'm not used to,
03:26 that's why it's an alien to me.
03:28 So when this happened,
03:29 this awards night,
03:30 it's not just about who the people are,
03:32 like,
03:32 what are their names?
03:33 Louris Gillian?
03:35 What are their names?
03:36 A Cinemalaya Award is,
03:38 coveted by the artists.
03:41 Like, it's not just given,
03:44 the artists are really fighting for this.
03:46 Like,
03:49 exactly, exactly.
03:50 So,
03:51 right?
03:52 It's the first time I've really won and,
03:56 I've been acknowledged for,
04:00 my craft.
04:01 And,
04:02 it's,
04:04 it's new,
04:05 it's overwhelming,
04:07 but,
04:08 it feels great.
04:10 To the point that,
04:12 wait,
04:14 how is this?
04:15 There's something like that,
04:15 how is this?
04:17 How do you accept things like that?
04:18 It's not a big award.
04:20 My first reaction,
04:22 being your kuya,
04:22 and being somebody who followed your career,
04:25 it's about damn time, dude.
04:27 How did you accept that, Balangay?
04:32 At that moment?
04:36 Or,
04:37 At that moment,
04:38 knowing that Louris Gillian is there,
04:41 and all the actors.
04:42 When I was in the car waiting,
04:43 I just thought that,
04:44 okay, if I ever win,
04:46 I need to thank them.
04:48 That's all.
04:49 And, I'll do whatever I say.
04:51 But, when I got there,
04:52 it was also a bit of a pressure because,
04:54 Jas Curtis,
04:55 when he was hosting,
04:57 under him, there's a timer,
04:59 that says,
05:00 "Guys, in PICC,
05:02 we'll only have 2 hours,
05:04 and I promise you,
05:05 our ceremony will be quick and easy,
05:07 you don't have to wait for too long."
05:09 So, if the winners may,
05:11 make their speech,
05:12 a bit shorter and sweeter,
05:14 so that we'll be on time.
05:16 So, everyone who gets on stage,
05:18 the winners always say,
05:19 "Thank you for everything,
05:21 thank you so much."
05:22 That's all.
05:23 And, the others,
05:24 it's a bit long,
05:25 that I can't do this,
05:26 if he doesn't do this,
05:27 this, that, thank you.
05:28 Or, the others,
05:29 "Okay, I'll just post it on social media,
05:31 bye bye, thank you."
05:32 That's how their awards are.
05:34 Until,
05:35 here it is,
05:36 category, "Best Actor."
05:37 I said, "Here it is,
05:38 I can go home now."
05:39 To the person who will eat later.
05:42 Yes, to yourself.
05:43 To the person who will eat later.
05:45 I want to go home,
05:46 I'm already drunk.
05:47 And then,
05:48 before you say the winner,
05:51 the citation,
05:52 the free citation,
05:53 you'll just mention the description of the role.
05:55 So, like,
05:56 "Playing the compelling role
05:58 of a predatory playboy,
06:00 blah, blah, blah."
06:01 The description is just saying,
06:03 "The dad of DirectGN,
06:06 he's like two seats away from me,
06:09 he held my hand,
06:10 he said, "Hey, hey!"
06:12 Then, I held my hand back,
06:14 I was like, "That's not me!"
06:16 I didn't even watch the other entries,
06:18 that might be a different role.
06:19 Let's not, you know,
06:20 it was like a slow-mo.
06:22 Let's not go first,
06:23 wait, that's not me.
06:24 Yes, let's not go first.
06:25 What if there's a different playboy
06:26 in the other entries,
06:27 we just don't know, right?
06:29 That's also a playboy.
06:31 Then, suddenly,
06:36 "Mikoy Morales!"
06:38 Boom, like,
06:39 everything went crazy,
06:40 like, everything was such a blur,
06:42 and that's when I realized
06:44 why your ushers should be good
06:47 at those awards ceremonies.
06:48 Because I had to hold his hand
06:51 to go on stage.
06:53 He was surprised,
06:55 it was like our hands were like that,
06:58 he's a guy,
06:58 so he was like,
07:00 "Sorry, sorry, bro,
07:01 I'll just go on stage."
07:02 Because, as in, blur,
07:04 like, blur,
07:05 faces were a blur,
07:06 the lights were a blur,
07:07 everything.
07:08 Then, when I got on stage,
07:10 what came to me was like,
07:11 "Okay, there's a time limit,
07:12 you have to thank us now,
07:14 Mikoy."
07:14 "Ah, thank you, thank you,
07:15 I'll remember everything,
07:17 thank you, thank you, thank you."
07:19 Then, that's it.
07:20 Then, that's it.
07:21 Until backstage,
07:22 I was like,
07:24 "What's happening?"
07:26 Then, all the ushers,
07:28 the ushers on stage were different,
07:29 the ushers from backstage
07:30 to a certain point,
07:31 and then,
07:32 there were some who were still walking there.
07:33 So, every replacement
07:34 and every usher,
07:35 they were like, "Congratulations, sir,
07:37 we watched you."
07:37 Stuff like that.
07:39 It's just floating,
07:40 like, floating.
07:41 Even during the interviews,
07:42 I was just floating.
07:43 Then,
07:44 later on, when I went on stage,
07:45 Dolly De Leon was there,
07:46 and other winners were there too.
07:48 It's like,
07:49 "I'm still dreaming."
07:51 You were in the league of Dolly,
07:54 and,
07:56 oh my gosh,
07:57 right?
07:57 And a lot of really
08:00 great artists at that time.
08:02 Yes, yes.
08:03 Wow, wow.
08:04 And knowing that the jury--
08:05 Oh, and there's another time
08:08 a little bit after,
08:09 when I got out,
08:10 Uncle Gorgie was there.
08:13 Then,
08:15 he asked me,
08:16 "How do you feel that the judges' decision
08:17 was unanimous
08:19 on your victory?"
08:20 I said,
08:21 "Ulul!"
08:22 Then he said,
08:24 "No, it was really unanimous.
08:25 This is Miss Shamayno,
08:26 Berncamino."
08:27 Right?
08:27 Then, I was like,
08:28 "Oh, sorry, sorry."
08:30 "It was really unanimous."
08:32 "Oh, it's true."
08:34 Apparently,
08:38 Shamayno,
08:38 Berncamino,
08:39 I just remembered from the jury,
08:40 he was Shamayno,
08:42 Berncamino,
08:43 Neil Daza,
08:44 and I forgot.
08:45 I can't remember the others.
08:47 But Joey Reyes was there.
08:49 He was the one who was like,
08:49 "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."
08:52 He was the one who said,
08:53 "You did good."
08:54 Then, I was like,
08:55 "I'm nervous."
08:55 He said, "Don't be."
08:56 Then, I sat down
08:57 and overthought it.
08:58 What does "don't be" mean?
08:59 Does it mean I shouldn't hope?
09:01 Or,
09:01 or I'm okay?
09:02 Like,
09:03 what is that?
09:03 Why did he say, "Don't be"?
09:05 Like,
09:05 [laughs]
09:07 Something like that.
09:08 Then,
09:09 Direct Loris,
09:10 NR.
09:11 Because,
09:11 even with Ate Ana,
09:12 of course,
09:13 she knows that I'm Ate Ana's student.
09:14 She's her daughter.
09:15 So,
09:16 she didn't give
09:18 any clue.
09:19 So,
09:20 Ate Ana,
09:22 that day,
09:22 the time we were waiting in the car
09:25 before the awards night,
09:26 that's when my breakdown triggered.
09:28 She messaged me,
09:29 "Mikoy, whatever happens,
09:31 I'm proud of you.
09:32 And,
09:32 you did your best.
09:34 And, to all my students,
09:35 you're the most
09:37 persevering and enthusiastic
09:39 in your craft
09:40 that never stops.
09:42 And,
09:43 uh,
09:44 that's it.
09:44 From now on,
09:45 you're my best actor."
09:46 Then,
09:46 Aunt Becky also messaged me,
09:48 "To all our experiences,
09:50 oh my God,
09:51 we've been together for 10 years,
09:54 and then finally,
09:55 we have our first award."
09:56 It,
09:58 that's what triggered me.
09:59 You know,
09:59 that's it.
10:00 I find it that,
10:01 I really find it hard to believe
10:03 that this is your first award.
10:07 (laughs)
10:08 Why? And, who's the winner?
10:10 (silence)
