He beat fellow nominees Piolo Pascual (Ang Panahon ng Halimaw), Paolo Contis (Through Night & Day), Daniel Padilla (The Hows of Us), Christian Bables (Signal Rock), and the late Eddie Garcia (Rainbow's Sunset) for the title.

On Instagram, the Kapuso actor wrote a short but sweet message thanking the award-giving body for the recognition.

“I give back all the glory to you, Lord. Salamat, Eddys, sa pagkilala,” he wrote.
