At the 47th Gawad Urian Awards held on June 8, 2024, the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino bestowed its highest honor, the Natatanging Gawad Urian (Lifetime Achievement Award), upon the legendary Hilda Koronel—a tribute to her unparalleled artistry and enduring contributions to Philippine cinema.
Widely
regarded as one of the country’s finest actresses, Koronel’s career spans
decades of acclaimed performances that helped shape the golden age of Filipino
filmmaking. She is best remembered for her iconic collaborations with National
Artist Lino Brocka, including Insiang—the first Filipino film to screen at the
Cannes Film Festival—and Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag, hailed as one of the
greatest films in Philippine cinema.
Throughout
her career, she has been recognized with numerous awards from FAMAS, MMFF,
Luna, YCC, and PMPC Star Awards, in addition to five Gawad Urian nominations.
In 2005, she won Best Supporting Actress at the Urian for her remarkable
performance in Nasaan Ka Man.
Even as she made her last screen appearance in 2012 with The Mistress, Koronel’s legacy continues to shine brightly, inspiring generations of artists and audiences alike. Her recognition with the Natatanging Gawad Urian not only honors a lifetime of cinematic brilliance but also celebrates her place as a timeless icon whose work has carried the Filipino spirit onto the global stage. ~ Cielomar
