Congratulations, Amado Arjhay Babon!

CONGRATULATIONS, SIR AMADO BABON! 🎬🎭

The LNU Supreme Student Council and the whole student body proudly congratulate Sir Amado Arjhay Babon, an esteemed LNU alumnus and member of the LNU Sirang Theater Ensemble, for his nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 49th Gawad Urian Awards for his remarkable performance in Lav Diaz’s Magellan!

From Sirang to the world of Philippine cinema, Sir Amado continues to show how the discipline, passion, and artistry nurtured through theater can reach even greater heights.

In Magellan, Lav Diaz revisits the story of Ferdinand Magellan and the complex history surrounding the Spanish expedition and its encounter with the Philippines. Sir Amado portrays Enrique, the slave-interpreter who becomes an important figure in the film’s retelling of this chapter of history.

Being named among the nominees of the Gawad Urian, one of the country’s most distinguished film awards organized by the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino, is a remarkable recognition of his craft and contribution to Philippine cinema.

Congratulations, Sir Amado! Padayon ha pag-sirang!🏆🎭✨
