“Thank you for recognizing our effort to provide ‘serbisyong totoo’ especially during trying times,  calamities, and instances that the public deserves to know what’s happening in their surroundings and for them to know the ‘truth,’ hindi ho ‘yung fake news. Maraming salamat po sa inyong suporta sa SONA o State of the Nation. Maraming salamat, mga Kapuso,” Soho said in a video message sent to De La Salle University Dasmariñas Alumni Association, Inc. (DLSUDAAI). 

Enriquez likewise thanked DLSUDAAI for their trust and confidence on him and GMA Network. “Thank you very much, alumni of De La Salle University Dasmarinas lalo na ngayon, your grand alumni homecoming. Thank you for supporting and for trusting the programs of the Kapuso Network, GMA. Maraming salamat po! Animo La Salle,” he said.

Just recently, Enriquez also received the Gawad Lasallianeta Zeal for Lasallian Excellence as Media Communicator at the 2nd Gawad Lasallianeta of De La Salle Araneta University.

A total of 2,050 alumni of the De La Salle University-Dasmarinas participated in the manual and online voting held from March 18 to May 31. ‘Animo’ is chosen as the name of the accolade as the term embodies vigor that every Lasallian student and graduate share.
