The Luna Award for Best Supporting Actress is an award presented annually by the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP). Before 2005, it was called the FAP Awards.[1] This has been awarded to actresses who have delivered outstanding performance in a supporting role.[2][3]
In 1981, the Executive Order 640-A signed by President Ferdinand Marcos mandated the Film Academy of the Philippines to recognize excellence in Philippine filmmaking annually. However, due to recurring financial difficulties, the Luna Awards were not held in certain years or were sometimes postponed to a later date.[4]
Ana Abad Santos currently holds this title for her role in Third World Romance. Gina Alajar and Nida Blanca both hold the record for the most wins in this category (3).
