TANGHALANG PILIPINO (TP) emerged as the big winner of the 15th Gawad Buhay Awards, which was held on July 30 at the Aliw Theater. The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ resident theater company took home 17 of the 26 competitive prizes for its productions of Balete and Pingkian: Isang Musikal last year.

Balete, a new play drawn from National Artist for Literature F. Sionil José’s novel Tree and his autobiography Promdi, won 10 awards — the most for a single production. Meanwhile, Pingkian, a new musical on the life and works of the Katipunero Emilio Jacinto, bagged seven awards.

Balete won the Gawad Buhay equivalent of best production of a play using new material, as well as prizes for stage direction (Chris Millado’s fourth); ensemble performance; Nonie Buencamino’s lead performance; and its script which was credited to 11-time winner Rody Vera, Mr. Millado, Sabrina Basilio, Delphine Buencamino (who also won Outstanding Choreography), and the TP Actors Company.

Meanwhile, Pingkian won the equivalent of best production of a musical using new material, as well as trophies for stage direction (Jenny Jamora’s second), Vic Robinson’s lead turn as Jacinto, book of a musical (for Juan Ekis), and original score (co-credited to Mr. Ekis and Ejay Yatco, who also nabbed his second musical direction award).

Repertory Philippines picked up the two prizes for production of existing material, for Harold Pinter’s Betrayal (play) and the Off-Broadway hit I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (musical). Moreover, the company’s children’s theater arm won Outstanding Production for Children for the new musical Jepoy and the Magic Circle.

Theater scholar Dr. Nicanor G. Tiongson, a Gawad Buhay winner for his libretto of Mabining Mandirigma, received the Natatanging Gawad Buhay, the lifetime achievement award.

This year’s roster of winners boasted 11 first-time Gawad Buhay recipients, including seven who won on their first nominations.
