He was especially grateful for the audience’s positive reception of their message. “I’m just proud of all of them lalo na sa staff namin kasi binuhos talaga namin. We left it on the floor and let our works speak for ourselves. Masaya kami kapag nababasa namin ung comments na naintindihan nila yung gusto namin sabihin.
