In addition, she has received two Grammy Award nominations for Best Musical Theater Album, for the Broadway cast recordings of Flower Drum Song (2004) and Once on This Island (2019). In 2025, Salonga was honored with the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award at the 91st Annual Drama League Awards. Salonga has also been recognized by the Philippine government for her cultural contributions, receiving the Presidential Merit Award in 1990 and the Congressional Medal of Achievement in 2007, and being appointed Commander of the Order of Lakandula in the same year. Salonga also became a Disney Legend in 2011. She is the first Asian actress to win a Tony Award, and in 2026, became the first Filipino to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
