“Last night, I had the distinct honor of presenting the Monty Manibog Lifetime Achievement Award to my former professor turned industry pillar, Boots Anson-Rodrigo,” anang aktor.

“She’s been a leading lady on screen, but her biggest role has been behind the scenes —championing the welfare of our industry for over 25 years at MOWELFUND, where I now have the privilege of working alongside her.

“She’s proof that true icons don’t just shine in the spotlight — they use it to uplift others,” patuloy ni Dong.

“Congratulations, Ma’am Boots — mahal ka namin,” mensahe pa ng aktor sa beterana ng industriya.

Sa comment section, isa sa mga nag-congratulate kay Boots ang award-winning actress at Kapamilya boss na si Charo Santos.
