The Philippine film and television industry is mourning the loss of actress Sue Prado, whose passing was confirmed by her sister, May Shereen Prado, in an emotional social media post.

“Our dearest Sue M. Prado has become a constant star in the night sky,” her sister wrote, announcing the heartbreaking news. “It is with profound pain that we share Sue’s passing.”

In her tribute, May Shereen described Sue as someone who brought light into the lives of many—both through her work and her personal connections. She lived a life dedicated not only to her craft, but also to the people she loved.

“Sue brought light in anyone’s path throughout her life. A life lived for others, for the craft she nourished and for those who she loved most,” the post read.

The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time, with further details, including viewing arrangements, to be announced later.

Even as tributes pour in, many remember Prado for her strong and memorable performances across film and television. She built a reputation as a versatile and grounded actress, appearing in critically acclaimed projects such as Barber’s Tales, Oro, Area, Himpapawid, Dagsin, Thelma, Ilustrado, and Madrasta.

She was also part of select episodes of the popular series FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, marking one of her final on-screen appearances.

As the industry reflects on her body of work, Sue Prado is being remembered not just for the roles she portrayed, but for the quiet impact she made behind the scenes—an artist whose presence left a lasting mark on Philippine cinema.
