Ito ay may kaugnayan sa pelikula niyang "Ma'am Chief: Shakedown in Seoul," na ginanap mismo sa South Korea.
"If someone questions why I have an award, don't worry, I question it, too," anang 'Magandang Buhay' host sa kaniyang speech.
"I just receive award all of my life from my mother and father every time they're angry to me. Tonight, my heart is very kuwan… the best. I think it’s because God moves in mysterious ways," sey pa niya na talagang nagpahalakhak sa mga tao.
Pinasalamatan din ng aktres ang bumubuo ng naturang pelikula at maging ang mga co-actors niya.
"And it is because of the Pulp Studios… my Pulp Live World, Pulp Studios family, to my director of Ma’am Chief, Madam Kring Kim, sir Jimmy Kim, and to my producer that I can not believe what the food that they eat why they chose me. To Sir Vernon Go, and Inang Reyna Happee Sy-Go, thank you so much for this award," aniya.
"I cannot believe this is happening. I’m so very… I’m very sorry to the Koreans I acted like this. But I’m so overwhelmed to this kind of award."
Alay din ni Melai ang kaniyang nakuhang award sa kaniyang asawang si Jason at mga anak na sina Mela at Stella.
"And to my husband na andito siya ngayon, Jason Francisco, Mela, and to baby Stella, nag-exam siya ngayon... Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Wala talaga… and to my family, we will serve the Lord."
Bukod kay Melai, pinuri rin ng netizens si Ryan Bang dahil sa pagho-host din nito sa red carpet ng AAA.
