“Hindi maitatanggi na nakaukit na ang pangalan na Gloria Romero sa mundo ng pelikulang Filipino maging sa daigdig ng telebisyon. Mahirap tumbasan ang higit sa dalawang daan at limampung pelikula at TV shows na nagawa niya sa loob ng mahigit na anim na dekada at tumatak sa mga manonood,” Estrada said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

(We cannot deny that the name Gloria Romero has been engraved in the world of Filipino movies and even in the world of television. It is difficult to match the more than 250 films and TV shows that she starred in over six decades and left an impression on the audience.)

He also highlighted the impact of Romero’s work that extended beyond the television and film industry, which also earned her the title “Queen of Philippine Cinema.”

“She was also known as the ‘First Lady of Philippine Cinema’ for starring as the on-screen partner of major actors of her time. My father, former President Joseph Estrada, was fortunate to be among them as she was his leading lady in the film Patria Adorada, which was named as the best picture in the 4th Manila Film Festival held in 1969,” Estrada said.
