Posted by Brenda Moya on Saturday, May 4, 2024

On Wednesday, December 6, Gia Allana Soriano, the daughter of Direk Gil Soriano, made an announcement on her social media platforms.
Hermenegildo “Gil” Soriano, the director of Anna Liza, passed away on Wednesday, December 6 at the age of 81, according to his daughter Gia Allana Soriano.

Gia explained that her father has not been well since September in a lengthy social media message.

“Hello, it took me a while to write about this, but my father–Director Hermenegildo “Gil” Soriano–passed away. He wasn’t doing well already back in September, and was in critical condition around October – November. Still, we hope to make his last moments a time for him to be remembered for his contributions to the entertainment industry,” she added.

Since Direk Gil was already dormant when she was born, she also hopes to connect with his colleagues and friends in the entertainment industry via her post.

“As I never got to meet any of his showbiz contacts and colleagues (he was already inactive when I was born), I’m a bit not sure who and how to reach out. If anyone could let people who worked on the dramas and the noontime show he directed before, would appreciate it if we could get in touch with them, as his wake will be held this Friday to Sunday. (They could message to ask for further information about the location.)

“My father directed and co-wrote the original Anna Liza (starring Julie Vega) from 1980 to 1985–back in his prime years. The series had a remake back in 2013 (starring Andrea Brillantes and Kyline Alcantara). He also directed Anna Luna (1970s) and Chibugan Na.
