Now let's hear it for the gents. In the history of Philippine award giving bodies, only 13 actors have received individual acting awards in the main acting categories from the Big 4: 🏆 FAMAS (established in 1952) 🏆 Gawad Urian (established in 1976) 🏆 Luna (established in 1982) 🏆 PMPC Star Awards for Movies (established in 1984) Some notes: ⚪️ These are strictly for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories only. New Movie Actor/Child Actor/Breakthrough/Hall of Fame/Special Awards are not included ⚪️ This is the reason why Jiro Manio, who swept all four trophies for 2003's Magnifico isn't included in the list. While he has won Urian, Star, and Luna for Best Actor, his FAMAS win was relegated in the Best Child Actor category. ⚪️ Among men and women, Phillip Salvador seems to be the first one to complete all four acting trophies after winning the Star and FAMAS for 1985's Bayan Ko. He achieved it one year ahead of Nida Blanca who completed hers for 1986's Magdusa Ka. ⚪️ If we want to talk about grand slam wins, there's four in this bunch: - Philip Salvador - Best Actor for Bayan Ko (1985) - Christopher de Leon - Best Actor for My Other Woman and Biktima (1990) - Ronaldo Valdez - Best Supporting Actor for May Minamahal (1993) - Piolo Pascual - Best Supporting Actor for Dekada '70 (2002) ⚪️ Piolo's run for Dekada '70 is even more impressive when you factor in that he also won both the Metro Manila Film Festival and the Young Critics Circle for the same performance. Only Elizabeth Oropesa for Bulaklak ng Maynila had the same record. ⚪️ Speaking of grand slam, five actors in here would have belonged to the same list by winning 3 of the 4 trophies: - 1984: Tony Santos for Sister Stella L (won all except Luna which George Estragan won for Sa Bulaklak ng Apoy) - 1989: Tirso Cruz III for Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit (won all except Urian which Daniel Fernando won for Macho Dancer) - 1991: Christopher de Leon for Ipagpatawad Mo (won all except Urian which Richard Gomez won for Hihintayin Kita sa Langit) - 1995: Richard Gomez for Dahas (won all except Urian which Aga Muhlach won for Sana Maulit Muli) - 2004: Dennis Trillo for Aishite Imasu (won all except Urian for which Wendell Ramos won for Sabel) ⚪️ Fortunately for Dennis, he is the latest addition to this list after he finally completed the four trophies with his Urian Best Actor win for Green Bones, exactly 20 years after his first Urian nomination. ⚪️ Outside of the grand slam sweeps, probably the most interesting case here is Jay Manalo who completed his in three consecutive years. He has won one apiece for all four award-giving bodies but for four different performances. Talk about range! - 2002 Urian Best Actor for Prosti - 2003 FAMAS Best Actor for Bayaran - 2004 Luna Best Supporting Actor for Aishite Imasu - 2004 Star Best Supporting Actor for Mano Po 3 He really said I'll win one each and call it a day.

The latest (and youngest) member of this club: Maris Racal sweeping Urian, PMPC Star Awards for Movies, and now FAMAS for her role as the titular character in Antoinette Jadaone's Sunshine. #FAMAS2026
