Newbie actor Christian Bables or Barbs from the film “Die Beautiful” from home a win as Metro Manila Film Festival’s Best Supporting Actor. During the awarding ceremony, Christian was at a loss for words. He even struggled to complete his speech as he expressed how thankful he was for this break and to the people who supported him as he made a career in acting.

He said, “Una po sa lahat, hindi po ako sanay na may ganito dahil bago lang po ako. Akala ko nga po eh end na ng passion ko. Akala ko end na nung journey ko.”

He added, “Gusto ko pong pasalamatan lahat ng bumubuo ng MMFF 2016. Lahat po ng mga jury, mga execomm, gusto kong pasalamatan kung saan po ako nagmula: sa Star Magic workshops, headed by direk Ryan Carlos. Direk, dahil sa iyo naging ganito ako, naging passionate ako lalo. …Sa lahat ng tiwala sa isang walang pangalan po na kagaya ko.”

He ended his speech with a shoutout to his mom, “At sa mommy ko. Nagbunga na iyong katigasan ng ulo ko. Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat na nagtiwala sa kaya kong gawin.”

Congrats Barbs! We look forward to seeing more of you!
