Makahulugan naman ang tinuran ni Rebecca noong gabing iyon sa kanyang speech.
Aniya, “‘Her Locket’ has been in my mind for the past 32 years. Nine years ago, when I applied to be in the directing class of the director Brillante Mendoza … the staff texted me back, giving me five compelling reasons why Direk Brillante has to accept you as a directing student.
“I said I don’t have five reasons — I have only one compelling reason. If I don’t produce my movie, I cannot breathe. So tonight, I can finally breathe.”
Itinanghal namang 3rd Best Short Film ang Ang Maniniyot ni Papa Jesus; 2nd Best Short Film ang Bisan Abo Mabilin; at 1st Best Short Film ang As the Moth Flies.
