Senator Robin Padilla joined Filipinos in expressing sympathy and condolences over the passing of Jaclyn Jose, who he described as an “icon of professionalism, grace and talent in the entertainment industry.”
Padilla filed Senate Resolution 943 where he sought to have the Senate express “profound sympathy and sincere condolences” on the passing of Jose, Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck in real life.
“Ms. Jose has received various recognition for her work locally, including five Gawad Urians, two Luna Awards, the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Award, and a Movie Icon Award from the Eddys.”
“Since she started her career in the 1980s, Ms. Jose has received various recognition for her work locally, including five Gawad Urians, two Luna Awards, the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Award, and a Movie Icon Award from the Eddys,” the legislator said.
The lawmaker added Jose became the first Filipino and Southeast Asian in 2016 to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for her exemplary performance in “Ma’Rosa.”
She was also honored by the National Commission on Culture and the Arts at the Ani ng Dangal Ceremony in 2017 for this achievement.
Citing an announcement by PPL Entertainment Inc., Padilla said Jose died inside her home in Quezon City.
“Resolved by the Senate, as it is hereby resolved, to express profound sympathy and sincere condolences on the passing of multi-talented Filipina actress Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck, popularly known as Jaclyn Jose,” he said.
