CONGRATS to fellow nominees in these and the other categories. As cliché as it may sound, getting nominated is already an honour. It is heartwarming to be celebrated for all the blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices we've put in to arrive here. We deserve the party! Thank you DV Studio and Fine Cut Media for the wonderful collaboration.

If you happened to have watched these nominated series, thank you so much for your unending support. You keep me going.

Regardless of the outcomes, I will be having fun at this prom night with the rest of the industry folks. It will be good to catch-up. :)
