The Crown - "We look through the winners of the five biggest film awards: FAMAS, Urian, Luna, Star Awards, Young Critics Circle in the country, and of the Metro Manila Film Festival–to come up with this list of local actresses with most wins for ‘Best Actress’ from 2000 to 2020. The most talented actor wins the prize. That may not be true in every occasion, and for every actress, but taking home the top acting honors more than once, is surely a legendary feat. We look through the winners of the five biggest film awards: FAMAS, Urian, Luna, Star Awards, Young Critics Circle in the country, and of the Metro Manila Film Festival–to come up with this list of local actresses with most wins for ‘Best Actress’ from 2000 to 2020...(1). Vilma Santos, won nine times...The crown belongs to the Star for all Seasons for having the most wins for Best Actress in the last two decades. In 2001, Santos won Best Actress from Philippine Movie Press Club during Star Awards for Movies 17th awarding ceremony. She won for her performance in the film, Anak. She earned four more best actress trophies from Star Awards, for her performances in Dekada ’70 (2003), Mano Po 3: My Love (2005), In My Life (2010), and Everything About Her (2017). For her performance in Anak, she earned a Best Actress trophy, each from Gawad Urian, Luna Awards, and the Youth Critics Circle. For her role in Mano Po 3: My Love, the Metro Manila Film Festival, gave her another Best Actress trophy in 2004...Take note that the list tallied wins from these award-giving bodies: Youth Critic Circle, Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards ‘ FAMAS Awards, Film Academy of the Philippines (Luna Awards), Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino’s Gawad Urian Awards, Philippine Movie Press Club’s Star Awards for Movies, and the Metro Manila Film Festival." - JE CC, Lionheartv, May 2021

He Can Keep A Secret - "...There was a time na nag-away pa kami ni Ricky...Kasi si Cory Vidanes, napagkamalan niyang si Ma’am Cory (Aquino), ‘yung president natin. Ina-arte ko kasi si Cory, ‘Who am I daw para siraan ko ang presidente? So in my next live show, hinila ko talaga si Cory Vidanes. I told Ricky on air, ‘Ricky, this is Cory Vidanes, ito ang ginagaya ako.’ But did you know what he did? He apologized also in his article. Since then, we became friends...We became very, very close hanggang halos kapamilya ko na siya. Kasi alam niya lahat ng sikreto ko. Alam niya ‘yung susulatin niya at alam niya ‘yung sa aming dalawa lang. Ang huling sikreto namin, ‘yung kasal ni Lucky. He was one friend who could keep a secret...Siya rin ang nag-advice sa akin kapag galit ako sa mga tumira sa akin sa article. I would tell him, ‘Ricky, magpapa-presscon ako. Lalaban ako. Sasagot ako.’ Siya nagsasabi sa akin, ‘Huwag na. Stay put ka lang. Just keep quiet. Kilala ka naman ng mga tao.’ Basta the last time magka-text kami noong birthday niya, kasi ka-birthday niya si Lucky, April 21. I greeted him, ‘Happy birthday.’ It was just so sudden na bigla siyang nawala. I will never forget that Ricky is family. I love him and I will really miss him. Definitely. Lahat ng happenings ko sa career ko, sa artista, sa pulitika, he always featured it. Our condolences sa Lo family..." - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, Reported by Leah C. Salterio, The Philippine Star, 18 May 2021

Nagalit si Tita Midz - "...In-offer sa akin iyon ni Tita Midz. Si Olivia De Havilland iyan, e. Ipinadala niya sa akin iyong tape, if I’m not mistaken ha, na gusto niyang i-adapt namin sa local na production ni Tita Midz ang magpo-produce, si Carlitos pa magdidirek. Unfortunately, what happened was ginagawa ko kay Regal Films iyong Sinungaling Mong Puso...Ang nangyari noon, sinabi ko kay Tita Midz, alam niyo naman, very organized sila Tita Midz, di ba? Kapag sinabing 15 days, you’re done, 15 days you’re done. "Oh, can we start after New Year?" naalala ko sabi ni Tita Midz noon. What happened was hindi natapos iyong shooting ng Sinungaling Mong Puso, nasira iyong schedule ko.”“'Vi, huwag mo naman akong iiwan ng ganito. Tapusin mo naman iyong movie kasi may problema nga ako...'Tita Midz, baka hindi po ako makaumpisa ng January sa movie natin. Naku, nagalit si Tita Midz. Nagalit po sa akin. Kasi organized sila, e. Ayos na iyong crew, ayos na iyong location, so ako ang makakasira. Kaya sinabi lang niya, ‘I didn’t expect this from you. I thought you’re professional. Sabi ko, ‘Tita Midz, I’m sorry.’ Naku, umiyak po ako noon at sinabi ko kay Mother Lily, ‘Mother Lily, kausapin mo si Tita Midz...Anyway, after a week, sorry sorry pa rin. Sabi niya, ‘Don’t worry, I gave the script na kay Maricel. At si Maricel, mabilis nagdesisyon dahil nagustuhan niya iyong role...Ang ganda naman talaga noon, ang suwerte ni Marya doon. If I’m not mistaken, nanalo si Marya noon ng Best Actress..." - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, reported by James Patrick Anarcon, PEP 17 May 2021

Staying Power of Ricky Lo - "...His columns as the “first drafts of the history of Philippine cinema. Compile them and the results are the authoritative annals of the local film industry, by someone who penned it with a keen eye and a sense of fairness from his front row seat. His daily reportage, if pieced together into a film reel, would tell the complete story of an industry whose impact on people and influence on society are great...Lo’s way of writing comes like moving pictures and as entertaining as the acting on the silver screen which he spent 50 years writing about. Stars come and go, film companies rise and fade, but Ricky Lo had staying power because of the respect he earned from the admirable practice of his craft..." - Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto, Reported by Hana Bordey, GMA News, 5 May 2021

Kind, Professional, Good Actress - "I didn’t watch the premier. In fact, I just watched it in a theater somewhere in Bicol a year after it was released, but Vilma [Santos] is very professional, a good actress and she’s very kind. I don’t know if she will still remember me. It was a long, long time ago." - Eugene Torre, Reported by Josef Ramos, Business Mirror, 25 April2021

Mr. & Mrs. Manzano - "...Sorry but I promised not to say anything...Anyway, they are adults na and besides, event nila ‘yon, eh...Siempre I was teary-eyed, I just felt so happy seeing my son getting married. Sabi ko nga, ‘Totoo na ba ito?’ Of course, I knew about the civil wedding pero they are both adults at sila ang mga nag-desisyon at nagplano ng lahat. What’s important is that mayroon nang Mr. and Mrs. Manzano.” - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, Reported by Ricky Lo, The Philippine Star, 07 April 2021

Hindi Nagmamadali - "...Nagpapasalamat ako, pero tanungin ninyo sila, wala akong hinihinging endorsement o ano man para maging national artist. Palagay ko kasi hindi naman sa endorsement iyan eh, depende sa body of works at walang ibang mag-aaral niyan kundi ang joint committee ng Cultural Center of the Philippines at National Commission on Culture and the Arts. Sila lang naman ang pipili at gagawa ng recommendation. Tapos ang Presidente ang huling mag-a-apruba...Di ba nagkaroon pa nga ng kaso iyan sa Supreme Court nang magdagdag si dating President Arroyo ng mga ‘national artist’ na wala sa listahan ng CCP at NCCA, at nagkaroon na ng ruling. Binasa ko nga iyan eh at sinabi ng Supreme Court na “by power of control”, puwedeng ideklara ng presidente ang lahat, ang ilan, o wala man sa mga inirekomenda sa kanya para maging national artist na wala siyang kailangang ipaliwanag. Kaya ang desisyon, wala sa mga endorsement at walang kampanya iyan. “Kaya sinasabi ko nga nagpapasalamat ako sa mga taong naniniwala sa mga naipakita kong kakayahan bilang artista, pero hindi man ako makasali riyan ok lang sa akin kasi ang feeling ko marami pa akong gagawin para sa pelikula hindi lang bilang artista, gusto ko ring mag-direk. Gusto ko rin mag-produce ulit...Iyong ibang award, kagaya ng best actress, manalo ka man ngayon, tapos may nagawa kang mas maganda pa puwede ka ulit manalo. Ang national artist basta natanggap mo na, hindi na mauulit iyan. Kaya ako, kalokohang sabihin na ayoko. Lahat ng artista nag-aambisyon niyan, pero hindi ako nagmamadali. Wala naman sigurong dahilan para ako magmadali...” - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, Reported by Ed de Leon, Pilipino Star Ngayon, 04 April 2021

NCCA's full statement about National Artist - "On articles circulating about the National Artists Award nominees...The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) wish to clarify that both organizations have not released any official list or made any announcement of an official list of nominees for the Order of National Artist (ONA) as implied in several social media posts circulating online. The Selection of National Artists is a lengthy process that is undertaken with utmost care and diligence, ensuring the integrity of the whole process..." - Reported by Bong Godinez, GMA News, 30 March 2021

Movie after the pandemic - "...Isa pa ang shooting ngayon o taping ay naka-lock in bilang bahagi ng pag-iingat nila. Tama naman iyon. May tes­ting sila bago magsimula, at may test din pagkatapos. Kasiguruhan iyon na una, walang mahahawaan, tapos iyong sa pag-uwi naman, at least alam na hindi ka nahawa habang nasa location...At kung lock-in, lalong imposible sa akin. Hindi naman maaaring hindi ako umuwi ng bahay dahil may pamilya ako, at kailangan ko rin silang asikasuhin. Ok lang sa akin kahit na magdamagang shooting kagaya noong araw pero iyong wala talagang uwian, iyon ang malabo...Isa pa, wala pa namang mga sinehan. I hope they open soon. Pero hanggang walang sinehan, ano ang gagawin mo sa pelikula mo? Ilalabas mo sa internet na hindi pa rin talaga nakakasanayan ng mga tao, lalo na ang fans ko na aaminin ko, karamihan may edad na rin. Hindi na sila sanay sa bagong technology. Tapos mas mabilis pa raw mapirata ang pelikula, kasi video na eh. Noong araw, iyong pelikula ikino-convert pa nila pero napipirata, ngayon mas mabilis kasi mai-download lang nila iyon na. Kaya naman ang ginagawa ng producers ngayon para makabawi, low budget lang, pero kahit na anong ingat ang gawin mo kung low budget ang pelikula, hindi rin magagawang kagaya nang dati, Kaya para sa akin, hintayin na sigurong maging normal ang lahat bago ko sabihing gagawa na ulit ako ng pelikula. Siguro naman hindi na tatagal itong pandemic na ito dahil may bakuna na..." - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, reported by Ed de Leon, Pilipino Star Ngayon, 01 March 2021

Of Love and Revolutions - "...CCP Arthouse Cinema's “Of Love and Revolutions,” a special Valentine’s Day cinematic offering that features stories of love and revolutions in different types and forms, runs from February 12 to 26, 3 p.m. via CCP Vimeo Channel https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ofloveandrevolutions/510996790...Love for the country rules in “Signos,” “Sister Stella L.,” “EDSA People Power: The Philippine Experience,” “Revolutions Happen Like Refrains in a Song,” and “In the Middle of the Night...” Most of the personalities shown and interviewed in "Signos" became the inspiration behind the characters portrayed in the acclaimed film "Sister Stella L," starring actress Vilma Santos and also directed by Mike De Leon. It won the Gawad Urian’s Best Picture in 1984, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actress (Vilma Santos). "Sister Stella L" tells the story of the social and political awakening of a nun as she becomes involved in a labor strike and becomes engaged and empathizes with the plight of the workers and their fight for justice and freedom..." - Kathleen A. Llemit, Philstar, 13 February 2021

Career Reinvention - "In showbusiness, there will always be the one hit wonders, those people who hit mainstream popularity usually for only one piece of work and become known to the general public solely for that momentary success. Of course, those of this type are, sooner or later, gone from the public eye and then eventually forgotten. Then there are the lurkers, as in the online world, they are those who just quietly stay afloat in the sidelines, not hitting it big but somehow able to prolong their presence in the showbiz realm. Then come the real superstars, those who are able to prolong their relevance by not being boxed in by their past successes and are not afraid to explore and reinvent themselves for a more “current” image. When one talks about reinvention, favorite pop icon of the 80s, Madonna, always comes to mind. Locally, there is Vilma Santos-Recto, who has, throughout her career, taken on a lot of image makeovers from her days as a childstar, a teenstar, a dramatic star and now as a star legislator—truly stamping her mark as a Star For All Seasons..." - Joee Guilas, Manila Bulletin, 17 January 2021
