This awards season, as new champions are crowned, these Filipino films’ triumphs remain the gold standard to which all aspire
Awards season in the Philippines is more than red carpets and acceptance speeches. It is a celebration of artistry, storytelling and the dedication that brings local cinema to life. Across prestigious platforms such as the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Awards, PMPC Star Awards for Movies, Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) and Gawad Urian, a few exceptional films have done more than simply win—they have swept the night.
These are the most awarded Filipino films in history, productions that dominated acting, directing, writing and technical categories all in one evening. From the record-breaking José Rizal to the Grand Slam triumph of Himala, each title redefined what it means to achieve awards-night glory.
