Dr. Ciriaco Santiago Memorial Award

The Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences, on behalf of the Santiago family, bestowed the Dr. Ciriaco Santiago Memorial Award to performers, producers, and directors of productions that have gained international recognition for their cinematic excellence.

The award was given in honor of Dr. Ciriaco Santiago, studio chief of Premiere Productions. The earliest record of its awarding was in the 7th FAMAS Awards (1958) in 1959, when Susan Roces received it for representing the country in the 1959 San Francisco Pacific Film Festival.

The Santiago family provided the award. However, the family became uninterested in awarding the annual special award, so it was last given in the 50th FAMAS Awards (2001) in 2002.[1]
