The names mentioned above are considered as the greatest in the industry. But then, if there's one person who really stood out from the rest, people would definitely agree that it would be none other than Angel Locsin.
The Instagram user who goes by the handle @forangellocsin, posted a short video clip that showed how Angel Locsin walked on the red carpet, the moment her film Everything About Her was recognized in the event. She walked slowly, yet happily, on the aisle, while shaking the hands of the highly-respected people who attended the event.
Of course, her fans thanked everyone who trusted her and her film!
