The heartwarming story of Domingo Zamora and Xavier Gonzaga continues to win hearts, as “Green Bones” emerged as the biggest winner of the eighth Entertainment Editors’ Choice (EDDYs) Awards.

The Zig Dulay-helmed film won a total of six awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

“Green Bones” lead actors Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid, who won best actor and best supporting actors, respectively, thanked the Eddys for their Box Office Hero award.

“Di ko po inaasahan na makakatanggap ako ng ganitong parangal, lalo na ang makasama ang ilan pa sa mga binigyan na parangal na aking tinitingala at iniidolong mga artista. Siguro po bilang isang aktor ako po ay patul0y na mangangako na gagawin ang lahat ng aking makakaya na ibigay ang lahat ng makakaya ko sa bawat proyektong ipinagkakatiwala sa akin. Patuloy akong magiging alagad ng sining dahil ganun ko po kamahal ang Philippine entertainment industry,” Madrid said in his speech.

“Iniaalay po namin ang aaward na ito sa lahat ng mga Pilipino na patuloy ang pagtangkilik sa mga pelikulang Pilipino. Lumalabas, gumagastos, pumipila para mapanood ang kanilang mga paborito sa pinilakang tabing. Para sa kanila ito. Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino,” said Trillo afterwards.
