It only received the Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Award. Based on the article in the Philippine Entertainment Portal, Agot Isidro shared her thougths on this. “About last night. (My [thought balloon emojis]) Nagsama sama ang pamilya Florencio kagabi except kay Mommy & Daddy. Umuwi na medyo disappointed na hindi napansin man lang ang ibat ibang aspeto ng aming pelikula,” she wrote in her Twitter post.

On the other hand, the actress is thankful that their movie received the Gatpuno Villegas Cultural Award. She said that this is much appreciated. In a follow-up tweet, Agot said that they can calmly breathe already because of the positive feedback that their movie received.

She also said that they are hoping the viewers would bring home with them the lessons that they want to impart throug this film. “Hindi bale wala sa amin yun. If anything, dito pa lang sobrang panalo na kami. Maraming, maraming Salamat sa suporta. Inaasahan namin na mas marami pa ang manonood,” Agot Isidro said.

Her co-star Nikki Valdez also shared the same thoughts on this matter. “Hindi man kami nanominate sa napakaraming categories kagabi, pinakamasarap na award na sa amin ang marinig sa karamihan na ‘blessing’ ang pelikula namin sa kanila,” she said on her Facebook Page, adding that they already feel they won just because of that.

Previously, it was revealed by veteran actress Boots Anson Roa that the female lead role in Family Matters was first offered to her. However, she had to decline the offer because she is the chairperson of the MMFF Screening Committee.
