Manuel “Jun” Urbano is 2023 Gawad Plaridel Awardee of the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communications.
In reviving the prestigious award post-pandemic, UP-CMC couldn’t have honored a better media man. Urbano mastered three fields. He produced films “Juan Tamad and Mr. Shooli” and “M.O.N.A.Y.” He directed ads, like San Miguel Beer’s notable “Isang Platitong Manê.” He starred on television as Mr. Shooli of “Mongolian Barbecue,” parodies of hot issues.
Urbano sent Mr. Shooli to read his acceptance speech Oct. 11th. The latter left the draft in the taxi and so extemporized.
