i-Listen, features an unforgettable and deeply moving episode spotlighting Krystel Go, the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Best Actress, who continues to break barriers and redefine what it means to dream with Down Syndrome.

In the episode, Krystel sits down with Kara David alongside her mother, Mommy Amie, for an honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, faith, and unconditional love. From facing hurtful labels and online bashing to standing proudly on the MMFF stage as a Best Actress winner for the film I’m Perfect, Krystel’s story is one of courage, grace, and quiet strength.

When asked how she responds to hateful comments, Krystel’s answer is simple yet powerful:

“God bless you na lang po. Never akong lumalaban.”

Mommy Amie shares the realities of raising a child with Down Syndrome, emphasizing that acceptance must begin at home.

Beyond her acting success, Krystel speaks candidly about her dreams — from continuing her film career to launching her own lipstick collection — reminding viewers that ambition has no limits.

Krystel’s message resonates throughout the episode and beyond:

“Yes, you can dream. Yes, you can shine. Yes, you can inspire others.”
