(Intro by Amparo Pe, Film Program Head)
Dimples Romana is a multiple award winner, she has been a fixture in the local entertainment industry for over 20 years. She has played the best friend in romantic comedies, the mother in tearjerking teleseryes, and more recently, a mob boss in designer outfits in a top rating action series.
But perhaps her most iconic role to date has been that of the cruel but impeccably dressed Daniela Mondragon- Bartolome, the contrabida you love to hate in Kadenang Ginto. Her character, with her signature red lipstick, red outfits, proved to be extremely popular - that lines that Daniela uttered would often trend in social media. Her Dani character even spawned several memes.
Her performance in Kadenang Ginto would earn her a National Winner, Best Supporting Actress Award from the Asian Academy.
She was selected as a juror to the International Emmys in 2020 and again in 2022. She is also an official member of the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Off screen, she is an accomplished cook, restaurant owner, endorser, author, motivational speaker and educator. She is a savvy businesswoman with investments in, among others, a commercial building and a farm.
And, on top of all of that, she is a wife and mother to three children, the youngest of whom just turned one recently.
This beloved actress who comfortably wears several hats, this seasoned thespian who has played both heroines and villainesses, this performer who is equally at ease displaying on screen her maternal instincts, and her tough action hero skills - has shown us that graciousness and tenacity can go hand in hand in reaching one’s dreams.
