Gloria Anne Borrego Galla (December 16, 1933 – January 25, 2025), known professionally as Gloria Romero (Tagalog: [ˈɡloɾja ɾɔˈmɛɾɔ]), was an American-born Filipino actress.[1] With a career spanning 70 years, she appeared in over 250 motion pictures and television productions. Often referred to as the "Queen of Philippine Cinema", she was known for her sophisticated screen persona and restrained acting style.[2] Romero was the Philippines' highest-paid movie actress in the 1950s and was one of the top box-office draws for nearly two decades, making her one of the major stars of the first Golden Age of Philippine Cinema.

Romero began appearing as a background actor at the age of 16. After a series of minor film roles, she launched a career with a secondary role in Madame X (1952) and won her first FAMAS Award for Best Actress for playing a wacky tobacco-smoking maiden in Dalagang Ilocana (1954). She continued to gain success for her starring roles in romantic comedies, characters popularized in comic strips and remakes of pre-war musical films. Romero's other FAMAS-nominated leading roles were in Alaalang Banal (1958), Ikaw Ang Aking Buhay (1959) and Iginuhit ng Tadhana (1965).[3][4]

After parting ways with Sampaguita Pictures in the mid-1960s, Romero continued playing lead and supporting roles of varying genres in the succeeding years and played darker, more morally ambiguous characters in Condemned (1984), Saan Nagtatago ang Pag-ibig? (1987), Nagbabagang Luha (1988) and Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit (1989), all of which earned her nominations for the FAMAS Award for Best Supporting Actress; she won for the romantic drama Nagbabagang Luha. During this period, she began appearing on numerous television productions through sitcoms and dramas, including Palibhasa Lalake (1987) and Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko (2017), which was her last television project. Romero received newfound attention and success in the 2000s for her roles in Tanging Yaman (2000), Bahay ni Lola (2001), Magnifico (2003), Beautiful Life (2004) and Fuchsia (2009), including Tarima (2010) and Rainbow's Sunset (2018), the latter being her last film appearance.

Romero was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by government agencies and major award-giving bodies, including the Luna Awards in 2002, FAMAS, Gawad Urian (both in 2004), the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) in 2009 and Film Development Council of the Philippines in 2024. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts also presented her with the PAMAAS Gintong Bai in 2005 for her contributions to the preservation and development of Philippine arts and culture while the Philippine Postal Corporation honored Romero with a commemorative stamp in 2022 for dedicating her life and talent to the Filipino people.

Life and career

[edit]

1933–1948: Early life and background

[edit]

Gloria Romero was born as Gloria Anne Borrego Galla on December 16, 1933, in Denver, Colorado, to Pedro Galla and Mary Borrego. Her father was a Filipino who went to the United States to pursue his education. There he met Mary, an American of Spanish descent. In 1937, they went to the Philippines to visit Pedro's parents in Mabini, Pangasinan. The family's plan of returning to Denver was always postponed, and the supposed vacation was extended.[5][6]

When World War II broke out, the Gallas were trapped in the Philippines. During the war, they learned how to farm. In 1943, a troop of Japanese soldiers arrested and interrogated Romero's mother. Days before the war ended, her mother died after falling down the stairs inside their residence. Gloria's father decided that the family would stay in the Philippines for good.[5][6] Romero's three siblings became successful as they reached adulthood; the eldest sibling Louise became a nurse, her brother Tito Galla (1935–1979) became a popular actor, and the youngest, Gilbert, was a US-based doctor.[7]

Romero attended Mabini Elementary School and Riverview High School, also in Mabini. She did not finish her studies in high school.[5]

1949–1954: Early career and breakthrough

[edit]

At age 11, Romero started aspiring to become an actress. After she left school, her family moved to Manila and with her father's consent, tried her luck in show business. She first appeared as an extra in the 1949 film Ang Bahay sa Lumang Gulod, as well as in two other films under Premiere Productions, Prinsipe Don Juan (1951) and Bahay na Tisa (1951).[8] She was eventually dismissed from the film production company and transferred to Sampaguita Pictures with the help of her distant uncle, Nardo Rosales, who was the studio's chief editor. She appeared in more films as an extra in Kasintahan sa Pangarap (1951), Bernardo Carpio (1951), Barbaro (1952), Dugong Bughaw (1951) and Prinsesa at Pulubi (1950).[9]

After playing several other minor roles Romero finally bagged her first supporting role in Madame X (1952) and as lead actress in the film Palasig opposite Cesar Ramirez.[6] After her breakthrough role in Monghita (1952) opposite Oscar Moreno she started to gain a massive following. In 1953, she starred in another blockbuster film Cofradia opposite Ramon Revilla.[10] Her films also launched the careers for actors such as Lolita Rodriguez, Ric Rodrigo and Luis Gonzales for the films Pilya (1954) and Despachadora (1955).[11][12]

She received her first acting award in 1954 at the FAMAS Awards as Best Actress for the film Dalagang Ilocana. It was the first time an actress from a comedy film won the award. The same year, she starred in another blockbuster film Kurdapya[13] and won the title Miss Visayas during the Boys Town Carnival and was styled by national artist Ramón Valera.[14]

Upon Romero's death, many people released statements honoring her including Philippine President Bongbong Marcos, who wrote in part: "I first met Gloria Romero on the set while filming Iginuhit ng Tadhana, and have been an admirer of her work as an actress ever since. She was always a great lady with the dignity of a true star," adding, "Not just a brilliant artist but a very fine person, the world of Filipino cinema and all of entertainment will never forget her."[92] Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna declared a three-day mourning period in honor of Romero, who wrote: "Manila is grateful to Gloria Romero for having served as a guiding star of Filipino performing arts, culture, and family values."[93] Her wake was attended by former Philippine President and actor Joseph Estrada.[94] Media executive Charo Santos-Concio wrote: "Tita Glo had this remarkable way of making everyone around her feel valued and respected.

Legacy

[edit]
Romero, as depicted in a PhilPost commemorative post stamp

Described by The Manila Times as one of the most iconic figures in Philippine film industry, Romero was one of the last surviving stars from the first Golden Age of Philippine cinema.[98][99][100][101] She was the most successful and highest paid leading actress of the 1950s, earning a reported $45,000 in 1956 (around ₱30 million in 2024 Philippine peso).[102][103][104][105] Critics named her the longest reigning Philippine movie queen for her lasting commercial appeal and acclaimed performances.[106][107][108][109] Jose Javier Reyes, chairperson of Film Development Council of the Philippines, stated: "There is absolutely no better way of defining the Filipino movie queen than Gloria Romero. In her 90s right now, [she] has become the epitome not only of professionalism but everything that Filipino cinema was before in the past decades."[110]

I think she is at par with some of the world's best actresses.

—Filipino director Laurice Guillen on Romero (2001)[111]

Often referred to as the "Queen of Philippine Cinema",[112][113] Romero was cited by a number of critics as one of the greatest Filipino actresses of all time.[114][115] Writing for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Behn Cervantes described her as an "underrated dramatic actress" and credited her with setting high standards in acting, noting that she "would quietly listen and deliver her lines with ease and surprising depth".[116] Laurice Guillen commented that she "always looked forward to Gloria Romero's movies. She's truly a great actress but this is seldom noticed because her style is light and restrained."[111] Writer Nestor Torre Jr. also added that "only an actress of Gloria's experience, sensitivity and age could have come up to the role's rigorous demands", referring to her performance in the 2000 family drama Tanging Yaman.[117]

Fred Hawson of ABS-CBN News notes her "powerful screen presence" in the 2018 family drama Rainbow's Sunset, stating that "a mere sad look or crack in her voice could already make tears well in my eyes ... Anne Curtis and Kim Chiu still have miles to go to even hope to reach Romero's level of acting for the big screen."[118] Romero's other films such as Bahay ni Lola (2001) placed second on When in Manila's list of the "10 Most Unforgettable Pinoy Horror Films".[119] Spot PH included her scene with Nora Aunor in Condemned (1984) on their list of the "Top 10 Most Epic Dramatic Showdowns in Pinoy Movies".[120]

Public image

[edit]

Romero was described as the Grace Kelly of the Philippines for her "modest", "quiet and gentle gestures".[121] The Philippine Star described her as one of the most revered and recognizable actresses in the Philippines.[122] Filipino hairdresser Ricky Reyes noted that Romero "epitomizes great character, good values, everything that makes a woman beautiful not just physically but spiritually as well".[123]

Romero was referred as a "fashion icon".[124] She was Ramón Valera's signature model and appeared in numerous fashion shows, including the Calendar of Stars fashion show at Rizal Memorial Stadium, the Oka-Valera fashion show at Fiesta Pavilion of the Manila Hotel, and the first Kariligan fashion show at Philam Life Theater, among many others.[125] Amrie Cruz of Preen PH also named her one of the most stylish actresses of the classical Philippine cinema.[126]

She was also featured three times on Yes! Magazine's annual list of 100 Most Beautiful Stars in 2007, 2009 & 2016.[127] Filipino actor Dingdong Dantes named Romero among the most beautiful women in Philippine entertainment.[128] In 2004, the Philippine Daily Inquirer commented on Romero's career longevity and dedication to her craft:

Gloria serves as an important beacon of abiding love and resolute hope for the current beleaguered Filipino movie industry ... May we all learn to be as lovingly committed and passionate as she has been.[129]

Romero was an influential figure to generations of actors and actresses in the industry. Iza Calzado expressed her desire to emulate Romero, saying: "I like to be like Ms Gloria Romero who started young but look at her now—still energetic and very much around", further adding: "Actually, it's not just about her aging, it's how people respect her. You know when people talk about Gloria Romero, they talk about how nice she is."[130]

Film producer Violetta Sevilla also revealed that she has been a long-time fan of Romero, saying: "I like Gloria because of her enduring beauty, timeless, and her being a queenly lady, nice at respectable. A role model of everything."[131] Susan Roces revealed that Romero was her favorite actress.[132] Roces stated that at age 15 she would travel to Quezon City in hopes of seeing her at the compound of Sampaguita Pictures and getting her autograph.[133][134] Vilma Santos cited Romero's longevity during her speech at the Gawad Urian Awards, expressing her desire to continue acting until she becomes a grandmother like her.[135]

In a 2007 interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Lorna Tolentino expressed her desire to emulate Romero's career durability.[136] Cherry Pie Picache also praised Romero and Eddie Garcia in a 2006 interview, saying: "I wish I was already an actor during their time. In them you'll see the aura, elegance and dignity of being an actor."[137] In 2024, Boy Abunda praised Romero during a special tribute saying: "Tita Glo is the longest reigning monarch of Philippine Cinema".[138]
