Mikoy Morales on Cinemalaya Best Actor win: ‘One hell of a reassurance to stay and keep going’
Mikoy Morales is still processing his Best Actor win at Cinemalaya.
The Sparkle actor took to Instagram to share his thoughts and feelings about the award, saying he actually had a hard time to admit that awards are a big deal for him.
“Ang hirap tanggapin, sa totoo lang. Nahirapan akong aminin na malaking bagay ito sa akin pero heto, inupo at buong-buong tinatanggap nang walang defense mechanisms — AKIN,” Mikoy said.
"Sa paglutang-lutang sa dagat ng mga hinahanap, hindi naman pala tayo nawawala sa kung saan naman talaga tayo nararapat. Nandito na, eh. Nandito pa,” he added.
Mikoy thanked the whole team behind “Tether,” his management, family, friends, and girlfriend.
He also shared his appreciation for the film festival and what the award means to him. “Thank you Cinemalaya for the honor and for this one hell of a reassurance to stay and keep going. Padayon.”
In “Tether,” Mikoy portrayed the arrogant playboy Eric, who goes on a one-night stand with the timid Kate (played by Jorrybell Agoto).
They discover that any form of pleasure or pain they inflict on themselves can be felt by the other person at the same time.
More winners of Cinemalaya 2023 are Pat Tingjuy as Best Actress for "Rookie," Dolly de Leon as Best Supporting Actress for "Iti Mapukpukaw," and Bon Andrew Lentejas as Best Supporting Actor award for "Huling Palabas."
