In a live interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Maja was not able to stop her tears as she offered her recent Gawad Urian recognition to her father.
“Siya po ang dahilan kung bakit ako nandito. Siya ang bumuhay sa akin, siya ang bumuo sa akin. Kaya po ako nanalo ng award na iyan dahil sa dugo kong Salvador. Nagpapasalamat po ako ng marami dahil alam ko naman na kahit nasa langit na siya, alam kong proud po siya sa akin,” she said.
Salvador added she is thankful for her father because she knows that he is among those who pleaded to God for this award to be given to her.
“Hindi ko po naririnig na sabihin niya pero ramdam ko naman po [na proud siya sa akin]. Alam kong isa siya sa nakiusap sa Diyos na ibigay ang award na iyan sa akin.”
Aside from her father, Maja also thanked ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio for without her, she would not have entered the showbiz industry.
