Salamat mahal ko, at palagi mong ipinagmamalaki na ako ang inspirasyon mo. Pero sa totoo lang - baliktad - Ikaw ang sa akin at ipinagpapasalamat ko na ikaw ay akin. Bakit? Dahil maliban sa kahusayan mo, tinitingala kita dahil sa busilak mong puso, dahil likas na mabuti kang tao at dahil isa kang ehemplo na karapat dapat tularan,” she wrote.</p><p>Bianca then applauded the whole cast and crew of <em>Green Bones</em> for doing a job well done. She claimed that it is a masterpiece that could give inspiration to many viewers.</p><p>“Ang inyong pangitain, pagkamalikhain, at dedikasyon ay nagbunga ng isang pelikula na walang alinlangang mag-iiwan ng pangmatagalang epekto sa mga manonood,” she added.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/5/2/bianca-umali-dazzles-on-showtime-return-1345"><strong>READ: Bianca Umali dazzles on &#x27;Showtime&#x27; return<br/></strong></a></div><p>If there’s anything she learned from the film, Bianca shared that it would be choosing to be kind to others despite the circumstances. She urged her fans and followers to watch the film to be able to understand where she’s coming from.</p><p>“Natutunan ko - na ang pagiging mabuting tao ay walang pinipili. Ikaw ang pumipili nun. Proud ako dito. Sobra pa sa sobra. Panoorin po sana ninyo, maniwala po kayo saakin. Maiintindihan ninyo kung bakit at hindi kayo magsisisi,” she ended.</p><p>Meanwhile, Ruru showed in the comment section his gratitude for the kind words his partner had for him and the MMFF entry.</p><p>“Maraming salamat, Mahal ko! Ikaw ang nagpapalakas at nagbibigay sa akin ng inspirasyon araw-araw... Mahal na mahal kita! Magkasama nating tuparin ang lahat ng ating nga pangarap,” he wrote.</p><p><em>Green Bones </em>is just one of the 10 official entries to the MMFF this year. The prestigious film festival will run from December 25, 2024 until to January 7, 2025.</p>
