Marian expressed her utmost gratitude to Cinemalaya, GMA Network, and the entire team of Balota during her acceptance speech.
“Sa lahat po ng bumubuo ng Cinemalaya, marami pong salamat sa inyo. To my GMA family, thank you. Direk Kip [Oebanda], umpisa pa lang ng shooting natin, ramdam ko ang 100% na pagtitiwala mo sa kakayahan ko kung paano ko ia-arte si Teacher Emmy so thank you.
“Sa lahat ng staff and crew, sa loob ng anim na shooting days, ramdam ko 'yung pagmamahal, pag-aalala, paggabay nila sa akin na safe ako, na kahit ano'ng bigat ang nararamdaman ko sa lahat ng eksena, never nila akong pinabayaan at mine-make sure nila na maayos akong uuwi kahit sugat-sugat ako. Sa lahat ng cast na kasama ko rito, napakahuhusay ninyo,” she said.
