The "New Gen Supreme" has done it again. In a star-studded evening celebrating the pinnacle of cinematic performance, Heaven Peralejo took home the prestigious Best Supporting Actress award at the NDM+ Acting Awards 2026 for her compelling performance in the legal drama-thriller Out of Order.
The ceremony, held on February 17, 2026, at the "Not For Everyone" Gala in Quezon City, recognized Peralejo's nuanced portrayal in the film, which also marked the directorial debut of Asia’s Multimedia Star, Alden Richards.
A Powerhouse Performance in 'Out of Order'
In Out of Order, Peralejo plays Atty. Jennifer Templo, a pivotal role alongside Richards and veteran actor Nonie Buencamino. The film follows a struggling young attorney (Richards) who must defend his estranged father (Buencamino) in a high-stakes murder trial. Peralejo's character—a brilliant and formidable public prosecutor who happens to be the lead's ex-girlfriend—serves as the emotional and intellectual foil to the protagonist.
Critics and fans alike have praised Peralejo for her ability to hold her own against seasoned actors, delivering a performance that balances professional steeliness with underlying personal vulnerability.
"I used to say kung hindi ako naging actress, I would become a lawyer and good thing dito sa Out of Order I played a lawyer. So kahit papaano natupad ang pangarap ko... To NDM+, maraming salamat for recognizing my work. To Boss Vic and to Direk Alden for giving me this role. And to my mom, this is for you!" Peralejo shared during her acceptance speech.
Heaven is unstoppable since 2023
This win further solidifies Heaven Peralejo’s status as one of the most decorated actresses of her generation. Her recent trajectory includes:
* 2023 Luna Award for Best Actress (Nanahimik ang Gabi)
* 2023 Asian Academy Creative Awards National Winner for Best Actress
* 2025 Jinseo Arigato International Film Festival Best Actress (Lilim)
* 2026 NDM+ Acting Awards Best Supporting Actress (Out of Order)
The Global Success of the Film
Out of Order has not only dominated the local awards circuit but also made waves internationally. After premiering at the Da Nang Asian Film Festival in Vietnam, the film achieved massive success on Netflix, peaking at the No. 1 spot in the Philippines upon its release.
As Heaven continues to take on "socially relevant" and complex roles, the industry eagerly anticipates her next move. Whether she's playing a victim of circumstance or a high-powered attorney, one thing is clear: Heaven Peralejo is a force to be reckoned with.
