Entrata gushed over her nomination and expressed gratitude to the MTV EMAs, via her Instagram page on Wednesday. She also asked for support from her fans, called kabogeras.
“A huge thank you po to @mtvema for recognizing my song and giving me the privilege to be with the other amazing artists, nominated in this category!” she said. “At sa mahal kong kabogeras, ‘di tayo aabot dito kundi dahil po sa inyo, maraming salamat po.” (And to my beloved kabogeras, we would not reach this if it weren’t for all of you, thank you very much.)
Fans who wish to express support to their chosen artists may do so by voting through MTV EMA’s online platform until Nov. 9 (Nov. 10, Philippine time).
The 2022 edition of the MTV EMAs will be held at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany on Nov. 13. It will also be broadcast live on MTV channels across 170 countries. EDV
