Published Mar 4, 2024 09:56 am

The Senate joined the Filipino community on Monday, March 4 in expressing grief over the sudden passing of award-winning actress Jaclyn Jose.

Senate President Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri said during the plenary session that the Senate extends its sincerest condolences to the family of Jose. He added that as soon as possible, they may pass a resolution honoring her.

Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva noted the "overwhelming support" from senators to extend their deepest gratitude and condolences to Jose's family.

"In the proper time, we will tackle and pass a resolution of commendation celebrating the life of the award-winning actress Ms. Jaclyn Jose," he added.

Sen. Jinggoy Estrada filed Senate Resolution No. 942 expressing profound sympathy and sincere condolences on the death of the veteran actress, born Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck, popularly known as Jaclyn Jose.

Estrada said that as a prominent figure in the country’s movie and television industry, the actress' untimely passing is a "tragic loss" to the entertainment industry as she has made a remarkable imprint for her unique and world-class talent.

“Nakaukit sa kasaysayan ng pelikulang Pilipino ang mga parangal at pagkilala sa natatanging galing at talento niya at mahirap itong matumbasan (Her awards and recognition for her unique talent is embedded in the history of Philippine cinema and can never be replaced),” Estrada said.

“She brought life to her roles, making them feel real and relatable, transcending borders, and touching the hearts of those who watched. Her loss is a tragic one and will be felt deeply by the entire entertainment industry,” he added.

On the other hand, Sen. Robinhood Padilla filed Senate Resolution 943 where he sought to have the Senate express "profound sympathy and sincere condolences" on the passing of Jose, who is Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck in real life.

"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," he said.

He added Jose became the first Filipino and Southeast Asian in 2016 to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress in 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.

During his manifestation, Padilla said that Jose also acted as a teacher to younger actors like Coco Martin and Padilla's daughter Kylie Padilla.

"Hinihingi ko po sa aking mga kasama dito sa Senado na maging kasama po kayo sa pakikiramay sa kanyang pamilya sa biglaang pagyao po ng ating hinahangaan at minamahal na si Jaclyn Jose (I ask my colleagues here in the Senate to join in expressing sympathy to her family for the untimely passing our beloved Jaclyn Jose)," he said.

"Kasama ko po dito sa manifestation na ito ay sina Sen. Bong Revilla Jr, Sen Jinggoy Estrada, Grace Poe, at lahat na mga senador na may puwang sa puso ang mundo ng pelikulang Pilipino at telebisyon (Included in this manifestation is Senators Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada, Grace Poe, and all who have a space in their heart for the Filipino television and movie industry," he added.

Born on Oct. 21, 1963, Jose is the first Filipino to win Best Actress in the Cannes Film Festival for the movie "Ma'Rosa" in 2016.

Jose was last seen in the Kapamilya TV series "FPJ's Batang Quiapo," where she played jail Chief Dolores Espinas. Her last movie appearance was for the movie "Pieta" starring Nora Aunor.
