Ruru Madrid is fresh from his Best Supporting Actor win at the MMFF 2024 for his role in “Green Bones,” and he is nothing short of grateful to girlfriend Bianca Umali.
According to his interview with Nelson Canlas, which aired on “24 Oras” on Thursday, Bianca has been there for Ruru since the very beginning.
“Sabi ko nga hindi ko po mararating tong kung nasaan po ako, hindi ko makukuha ‘tong mga ‘to kung hindi ko po nakilala si Bianca,” the Kapuso Primetime Action Hero said.
“Sobrang mahal ko ‘yung taong ‘yun. Parang ‘yung sabi ko nga, ang pinakamagandang regalo na natanggap ko sa buong buhay ko, ‘yun na ‘yung dumating si Bianca sa buhay ko. Hindi ko ma-explain kung gaano ko siya pinahahalagahan at kung gaano siya ka-importante sa ‘kin.”
When asked if he sees himself settling down with Bianca in the near future, Ruru answered in the affirmative.
“Yeah. Kung ako masusunod, kung pwedeng ngayon na, ‘di ba? Bakit mo pa patatagalin ang isang bagay kung nahanap mo na eh ‘di ba? And alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi na ako makakahanap ng tulad ni Bianca.”
Bianca tearfully cheered on Ruru when he claimed his Best Supporting Actor award last Friday at the MMFF 2024 Gabi ng Parangal.
During his speech, he called Bianca his biggest inspiration, saying he wouldn’t have this success without her.
Ruru won the award for his role as prison guard Xavier Gonzaga in the film. Meanwhile, Dennis Trillo, who played the role of prisoner Domingo Zamora, won Best Actor at the awards night.
Directed by Zig Dulay, “Green Bones” took home Best Picture. Here’s where you can watch the film.
