“Very thankful po ako, happy and proud kasi first MOR award ko po ito. Ito po ‘yung mga unang song po talaga na nagawa ko sa Star Music tapos nabigyan po ako ng chance to interpret sa Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs and super happy po kasi napakaganda po kasi ng feedback sa song na ito and natutuwa po ako na na-recognize po siya as Song of the Year sa MOR,” she said.

Maymay Entrata was also a big winner at the awards night after receiving the Best Collaboration trophy for the song “Baliw” which she recorded with Edward Barber. “Sobrang blessed naman po, masaya ako kasi isa ito sa naging dahilan kung bakit sumikat ‘yung MayWard. Tapos nabaliw rin po sila sa kantang ‘to kaya sobrang napaka-blessed po dahil nakikita ko silang masaya sa lahat ng na-achieve ko.
