KAALIW ang mga ganap sa katatapos na 2022 Awit Awards which was presented by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) and curated by MYX Global and held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
Aliw na aliw kami when Ice Seguerra won the Best Traditional/Contemporary Folk Recording for “Wag Kang Aalis”. Sa kanyang speech, itsinika niyang ang partner na si Liza Dino ang nag-pursige sa kanya na gumawa ng kanta during the pandemic.
Nang paalis na siya sa stage para pumunta backstage matapos magpasalamat, napalingon siya nang i-congratulate siya ng presenter na si Sam Mangubat.
“Thank you Miss Ice,” came Mangubat’s short congratulatory message. Talagang napalingon si Ice pagkasabing-pagkasabi ni Sam.
Si Maris Racal naman ay nanalong Best Regional Recording for “Asa Naman”. In her speech, pinasalamatan niya ang boyfriend na si Rico Blanco for being an inspiration. Nang palakad na siya papuntang backstage, kitang-kita namin na muntik nang mabitawan ni Maris ang hawak niyang glass trophy. Mabuti na lang at mabilis ang kanyang senses, kung hindi basag ang kanyang trophy.
Ang first time winner naman na si Angela Ken who won the Best Inspirational Recording for “Ako Naman Muna”, iyak nan ang iyak nang mabanggit ang pangalan niya. Nakaupo pa lang siya ay cry me a river na ang kanyang drama. Hanggang sa umakyat siya sa stage, cry pa rin siya ng cry, obvious na tears of joy iyon.
‘Yung isang member naman ng Grin Department, pagkahaba-habang speech ang binanatan. The band won Best Novelty Recording for “Chub@by”.
Si Maymay Entrata, another first time Awit winner for Favorite Female Artist, ay nag-deliver din ng may kahabaang speech. Itsinika niya na muntik nang goodbye ang drama niya sa showbiz noong kasagsagan ng pandemic. Ang feeling niya, wala na siyang career hanggang binigyan siya ng pagkakataon na kumanta. Pinasikat niya ang Amakaboger na siyang bumuhay ng kanyang career.
