Marian Rivera's Cinemalaya 2024 win is truly special! At the festival’s closing ceremony, she shared the Best Actress award with Gabby Padilla for her role in “Balota.” But what makes this win even more touching is that Rivera dedicated it to the teachers who put their lives on the line to protect every vote. Her role as Teacher Emmy in the film, set against a tense election backdrop, was more than just a performance—it was a tribute to real-life heroes. Rivera's emotional acceptance speech and gratitude highlight her deep fulfillment and the meaningful impact of her work. Let’s celebrate her achievement and honor the dedication of teachers everywhere!
