Why Niño Muhlach Sold FAMAS Trophy To Boss Toyo
NIÑO MUHLACH – Here’s the reason why former child star Niño Muhlach sold his FAMAS trophy to content creator Boss Toyo.
Weeks after selling one of his Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) trophies to Boss Toyo, former child star Niño Muhlach clarified that the content creator was the one who proposed the purchase.
In an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Monday, June 3, Muhlach talked about his choice to sell the FAMAS trophy to Boss Toyo for P500,000, even though Abunda mentioned Muhlach’s successful career.
“Tinawagan ako ni Boss Toyo. He was telling me merong nag-offer sa kanya ng FAMAS award ng child star pero hindi daw niya binili because para sa kanya ang child star talaga sa isipan niya was Niño Muhlach. So he called me,” he said. “I have five awards, nakatambak lang sa bahay. Hindi ko naalagaan.”
Muhlach highlighted that he made an agreement with Boss Toyo to ensure the trophy would be well-maintained and not sold to anyone else.
“Ang usapan namin ni Boss Toyo, I’ll sell it to you pero may deal. Kailangan i-restore mo na magmumukhang bago and idi-display mo sa museum at hindi mo pwede ibenta. Idi-display niya sa museum niya na forever makikita ng mga tao,” he said.
Muhlach began his acting career in the 1970s as a child actor, becoming known as a “child wonder” in the local entertainment industry. His notable performances include the films “My Father, My Mother” and “Tahan na Empoy, Tahan,” for which he won the FAMAS awards for Best Child Actor and Best Child Performer, respectively.
