Quotes From The Stars 1/2

Angel Locsin: “Ang aking future mother-in-law, ike-claim ko na po siya...Nakakatuwa na naisipan ng Star Cinema na kami ‘yung opening salvo. Hindi basta-bastang posisyon ‘yun, so maraming salamat sa tiwala. Of course happy na ma-share ‘tong experience na ‘to, of course kay Tita Vilma. Ilang artista lang ba ang makakapagsabi na nakatrabaho na nila si Vilma Santos...” (Ador V. Saluta, Balita, 04 Nov 2015)

Angel Locsin: "...Iba yung ano, para sa akin kaseh, hindi makukumpleto ang iyong career kung hindi mo makaka-trabaho yung mga Greats...Kasi, Tita Vi, hay naku si Tita Vi, parang Greatest of Greats, parang iba talaga siya, professionalism, ang galing...ganda actually, iba yung...saka yung charisma niya...meron palang ganung tao, yung bang nagglo-glow kahit sa malayo...sobrang loveable, charismatic, iba talaga siya, iba yung precense niya." (Jeepney TV, You Tube, 11 August 2019)

Ai-Ai de las Alas: "As a kid in Tondo, Ate Vi was already my idol. My cousins, aunt and I would wake up early to watch the first screening of her movies on the opening day. My mom used to be protective of me. She didn’t want my legs to get bruised. But one day when I went to the store to buy pictures of Ate Vi, I fell down so my legs got wounded. My mom scolded and spanked me but I didn’t mind her. What was important was that I had new pictures to add to my Ate Vi scrapbook. When I was working as a secretary in Bulwagang Gantimpala, I finally saw Ate Vi in person. I was starstruck. She was very accommodating when I asked to have a picture with her. Even now that I’m already in show biz, I am still in awe of her. I found more reasons to admire her as an actress, public servant and friend. There are only two people whose advice I follow—Tito Boy Abunda and Ate Vi." (Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Michael de Mesa: "What really struck me was Vi’s humility. She’s down-to-earth. I remember during our acting workshop, I asked her to come alone instead of arriving with her usual entourage. And she did. I saw a true artist who was very open to learning and her being a gigantic star didn’t hinder it. Even to this day when we work together, she still asks me: “Did I say it right?” She has not changed. Such a genuine and sweet human being. That’s why she is sincerely loved by many." (Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Jose Mari Chan: "If there’s a Peter Pan, then Vilma Santos is Tinker Bell. She has this endearing quality that elicits joy in others. From when she was a child star, Vi could play practically any role on screen. As a public servant, she has maintained an impeccably clean reputation. I have not heard anyone who has said an unkind word about Vilma." (Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Aiko Melendez: "When we were shooting “Sinungaling Mong Puso,” Ate Vi was late for five minutes. That was the first time I saw an actor apologize so humbly to the crew. We had a scene where I had to humiliate her. I was hesitant at first, but she told me not to be intimidated and just do what I had to do. She even gave me tips on how to deliver my lines. Luckily, I got nominated in that movie for best supporting actress. I did well mainly because of Ate Vi’s pointers. She has no hang-ups in life that’s why I am a certified Vilmanian." (Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Joel Lamangan: "What I can’t forget about working with Vilma Santos is her remarkable professionalism. She comes to the set prepared. The moment she hears the director say “Action!” she spontaneously becomes the character needed in the scene. She is not “gimmicky.” She avoids fuss when preparing for a serious scene. She does not need extra attention to be able to do what is required of her. She is an actress par excellence."(Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Tommy Abuel: "Vi and I portrayed husband and wife in Danny Zialcita’s “Karma.” In one scene, I had to beat her up. It was difficult emotionally and physically but because Vi was cooperative and uncomplaining, the shoot went without a hitch. I won best supporting actor in Famas for that film. I would not have won if my leading lady was not as brilliant as Vi."(Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Lloyd Samartino: "Early in my career, Vi and I worked together in “Good Morning Sunshine” under Direk Ishmael Bernal. She was a delight to work with. The movie was very campy and we used to laugh at the dance routines we had to do… I would love to work with her again. I have admired her greatly from afar as to how she has transformed her career from show biz to politics." (Dolly Anne Carvajal, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 04 Nov 2015)

Vice Mayor Ina Alegre: “I’ve been idolizing her since I was a kid...Actually, I am taking the same path that she did.” (Ricky Lo, The Philippine Star, 06 Jan 2018)

Yul Servo: "...Magaling siyang magpaliwanag at maglatag ng solusyon sa mga problema...Mas nae-enjoy ko ang mga gawain ko sa kongreso dahil gaya sa TV at pelikula na may script o direktor, may mga tulad ni Ate Vi at iba pang kaibigan kong nasa House na very open at willing mag-share ng mga karanasan nila sa governance at suportahan ang mga advocacy namin para sa mga tao..." (Ambet Nabus, Bandera, 11 Dec 2017)

Roderick Paulate: : "...Hindi naman sa movies lang nagstart, di ba, ang pagkakaibigan ng Paulate at Santos, kasi kaibigan na nila ang sister ko at si Ate Emily, Loida, si Mommy, magkakaibigan na sila, iyon bale parang lumalabas, second batch na lang ako, di ba?...tapos nagsama kami nuon, naging magkapatid kami sa Kasalanan Kaya...kami ni Vi, two years din di nagkita pero I think si Vi yatam di sa pambobola, parang magkadikit na talaga 'yung dugo, parang hindi kailangang magkita, parang na-prove na namin sa isa't isa 'yung friendship...there was a time nagalit si Vi, perfectionist pa 'yan ha, nakikialam sa production, nakikialam sa set niya, kasi gusto niya, ayaw niya yung dinadaya yung fans niya eh, di ba? Nahihiya 'yun sa mga Vilmanians kapag nagperform ng half-baked, hindi puwede, hindi puwede basta na lang, kung mag-rehearse, tatlo-apat na araw para duon sa number na 'yon, nagbibigay siya ng time for that, nagbibigay siya ng time for that...there was a time, parang mainit ang ulo niya, tinawagan ako ni Chit Guerrero, alam mo kahit anong itsura ko, tumakbo ako mula sa kama, tumakbo talaga ako naka-short, purontong, nakunan pa ako ng TV, ngiti-ngiti, kasi talagang, o sige kaseh ganito ang mukha niya...but after awhile alam mo makikita mo talaga ang pagmamahal galing sa Vilma Santos, mahal niya ang trabaho niya, mahal niya ang mga fans niya, hindi niya dinadaya ang mga fans niya...kaya kita mo naman, hindi ka magtataka, Vilmanians mula nuon, hanggang ngayon nandidiyan pa rin sila, nakikita ko pa sila..." (ABS-CBN Entertainment, 26 Oct 2017)

Raymond Isaac: "...My friend, Ate Vi ang Darna ng buhay ko!...whenever, wherever you are, we Love you, I love you, mahal ka naming lahat, and my only wish is huwag kang titigil uminom ng bato ni Darna, para maganda ka pa rin at malakas ka pa rin at thank you rin sa lahat ng tinulong mo sa mga tao, out in the open and I'm talking to, I personally, would like to thank you for all the people that you'd help..." (ABS-CBN Entertainment, 26 Oct 2017)

Kim Chiu: "...Thank you for being an inspiration, idol na idol talaga kita, nagartista, sing and dance, acting and now politics, and the good family, masayang buhay, so gusto ko ring maging ganyan, pangarap ko rin yung life mo, but I just want to say thank you sa pagiging mabait mo sa akin during nang nagka-work tayo sa The Healing and I hope to work with you sa mga future projects..." (ABS-CBN Entertainment, 26 Oct 2017)

Kim Chiu: "...Sobra siyang empowered woman and ang galing niya sa mga tao. Hindi mo siya makikitaan na napagod na siya kahit ang dami na niyang kinausap na mga tao..." (Brooke Villanueva, Metro, 14 December 2019)

Maja Salvador: "...Ako ang iyong baby, si Baby April, nagsama po tayo sa MMK, at hinding-hindi ko po iyon makakalimutan, dahil mas na-inspire pa po ako sa trabaho ko nang dahil po sa inyo, iyong mga pag-uusap po natin sa set ng MMK dahil sobra-sobra dami ko pong natutunan, maraming-maraming salamat po, kung anuman po ang mga na-achieve ko ngayon ay isa po kayo sa mga dahilan n'yon at sana po ay makatrabaho ko kayo, I love you mommy..." (ABS-CBN Entertainment, 26 Oct 2017)

Xian Lim: "...We had a talk sa room lang...nagusap kami, kami-kami lang...sabi niya sa akin, I've been so long in the industry for so long, so long, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin alam ang ginagawa ko, don't feel pressure in whatever you are doing kasi ang kailangan mo lang isipin ay ang mahalin mo ang lahat ng taong nasa paligid mo, 'yung lang and everything will fall into places...last na lang konti, kasi lang opportunity na ganito, to actually tell you mom, na ang laking bagay talaga nung nagkasama tayo, it was actually during the press conference po talaga na hindi ko na nakayanan, napigilan ang sarili ko talagang ang sakit po kasi talaga na magkaroon ng mga negative comments na sinasabi po talaga na sinasabi po talaga ng mga tao tungkol sa akin, and yet nandiyan po si mom Vi na to tell everyone na...iba po yung nakita niya sa akin, I was in the point na dina-doubt ko na talaga ang sarili ko na napakasama ko bang tao, kasi yun ang point na ganuon ang tingin ng lahat and yung nagsalita na si Mama, ng press com na it make me question, and made me drop everything na maybe merong, theres is light, and there is that hope, and so thank you mama, malaking bagay talaga iyon..." (ABS-CBN Entertainment, 26 Oct 2017)

San Jose del Monte Bulacan House Representative Rida Robles: "...Idol na idol ko si Ate Vi. Very passionate siya sa kanyang position at dahil artista muna siya bago naging politician marami na siyang experience sa pakikitungo sa tao and very humble pa rin siya..." (Jun Nardo, Bandera, 31 March 2019)

Hon. Rep. Alfred Vargas: "... Ate Vi is my ninang sa kasal...she is a model for all of us...I wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not for the opportunities and breaks given to me in showbiz. I owe a lot to this industry and I will forever be grateful. And this is my own small way of trying to give back, by advocating sustainable policies for the general welfare of our beloved industry..." (Ronald Constantino, Tempo, 02 May 2018)

Quezon City (5th District) Rep. Alfred Vargas: "..One movie is fine with me. You know, Ate Vi is my idol. She has proven that actors can be good public officials, from being mayor of Lipa to governor of Batangas and now congresswoman. Masipag siya. We hold office close to each other in what is known as the Showbiz Wing. That’s also where Congressmen Christopher de Venecia, Yul Servo, Lucy Torres, Edward Maceda and Dan Fernandez have their offices. Someday, I hope to do a movie with Ate Vi..."

Happy To Get Vi - "...maganda ang feedback sa ‘Happy ToGetHer’ sitcom ni Lloydie sa GMA-7. Ayon kay Direk Edgar ‘Bobot’ Mortiz, naka-four episodes na sila at sa January na uli ang resume ng taping nila. Samantala, tinanong din namin ang direktor ng ‘Happy ToGetHer’, kung kinukulit na ba niya ang dati niyang ka-love team na si Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto para mag-guest sa kanilang show? “Hindi pa. Holiday kasi. After na ng Kapaskuhan,” sey ni Direk Bobot, pero maraming mga fan si Ate Vi ang excited na mag-guest ang actress-politician sa ‘Happy ToGetHer’. Dahil sinabi nga ni Direk Bobot na kakausapin niya ang Star for All Seasons, marami nga ang nag-e-expect. Eh, sa tindi ng pinagsamahan nina Direk Bobot at Ate Vi, umaasa ang mga fan na hindi tatanggihan ng huli kung sakaling pakikiusapan siya ng una, huh!..." - Jun Lalin, Abante News, 28 December 2021

PEP YEARENDER 2021: 13 simple, solemn celebrity weddings - "...Intimate weddings are now the new normal. These celebrities and their partners proved that even a pandemic could not stop them from celebrating their love and commitment to one another. PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) lists simple and solemn celebrity weddings that happened this 2021...JESSY MENDIOLA AND LUIS MANZANO - Actress Jessy Mendiola and actor-host Luis Manzano got married on February 21, 2021 at The Farm at San Benito in Lipa, Batangas. Luis' parents, Edu Manzano and Lipa City Congresswoman Vilma Santos, and his stepfather Senator Ralph Recto were in attendance. Only 20 guests were invited to witness the civil wedding ceremony. The bride looked sophisticated in a white gown and her hair tied back in a low neat bun, while the groom was dressed in a pink suit. While many know Luis as a man of humor, he was teary-eyed and overwhelmed with joy when he saw Jessy walking down the aisle. The couple started their relationship in 2016 and got engaged in December 2020..." - Elle Faraon, PEP, 25 December 2021

Casting Coup - "...On our first year, we produced four Sharon films (“P.S., I Love You,” “My Only Love,” “Forgive and Forget” and “Cross My Heart”), and every single one of them was a blockbuster. We started producing our hit Vilma Santos starrers (“Sinasamba Kita,” etc.) in between. We were very lucky because during our first three years, halos walang mintis sa box office...If we find the right script, why not? Pero kailangang naiibang kwento talaga s’ya. Nora did the classic “Flor Contemplacion” film with Viva, while Vilma has had so many big hits with us. I know that Sharon has always wanted to do a movie with Vi. If that happens, that will definitely be a casting coup, ’di ba?..." - Vic del Rosario Jr., Viva Entertainment, Reported by Rito P. Asilo, Philippine Daily Inquirer

Gritty and Real Darna - "...I want ‘Darna’ to be less soapy, more real — but retain the character to be bigger than life, and obviously different from everybody else...Si Vilma Santos ang Darna ko. Lumaki ako na iyon ang Darna na nakikita ko. Ako, ilang beses ko pinanood ang Darna before, kasi nga enjoy na enjoy ako...(I wanted to) bring the same experience to the kids today, that they would be excited and would love watching Darna..." - Director Chito Roño, Reported by Miguel Dumaual, ABS-CBN News, 05 October 2021

Can't Zoom to an Electiion - "...After careful consideration of the present situation, especially the limitations in conducting a campaign during a pandemic, I have decided not to seek any elective post in the May 2022 elections...I have been serving the public for more than 23 years and will continue to serve, in the best way I can, even in my private capacity. Tuloy pa rin ang trabaho at serbisyo!...Just taking a back seat. I don’t want to be unfair to the voters, to my supporters...A senatorial run requires a nationwide campaign. It is important to go around key cities and conduct face-to-face consultations to lay down one’s platform, to listen to the voices on the ground. Masa pa rin ang importante. But I don’t think kaya ko to do this in the middle of a pandemic. Di p’wede pa Zoom-Zoom lang or via social media. Sa lahat ng nagtiwala at patuloy na sumusuporta sa akin, maraming, maraming salamat po. Pagpalain nawa tayo ng Poong Maykapal!" - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, Reported by Tina Ganzon-Ozaeta, Rappler, 7 Oct 2021

Still Hoping - "...What are the nearest future plans of the “pambansang director”? He replied in conclusion: “I still hope to do a movie with Vilma Santos. I already had a project for her before but the actress-turned-politician couldn’t accommodate it owing to her busy schedule so another actress took her place. I hope I get to work with Joshua Garcia. This young man, I believe is a very good actor. And if there is no legal impediment, I have a beautiful horror script that I’d like Nadine Lustre to star in. Nagagalingan ako sa kanya and I like na ang beauty niya, Pilipinang-Pilipina...” - Brillante Mendoza, Reported by Alwin Ignacio, Manila Standard, 15 August 2021

Vilma Santos’ classics @ 2021 Cinemalaya - "...Four unreleased films are featured under the Premieres section, including Highest Peak by Arnel Barbarona; He Who Is Without Sin by Jason Paul Laxamana; Love and Pain In Between Refrains by Joselito Altarejos; and Tao Po by Mae Paner, a.k.a. Juana Change. Meanwhile, two of actress-turned-politician Vilma Santos’ classics are featured in Cinemalaya’s Digital Classics section. They are Langis at Tubig and Karma, directed by the late Danny Zialcita. In partnership with the ABS-CBN Film Archives, the special section was added in 2015 to “showcase films that have been restored and present them to the new generation of cinéastes. Established in 2005, Cinemalaya is “an all-digital film festival and competition that aims to discover, encourage and honor cinematic works of Filipino filmmakers.” - Charmie Joy Pagulong, The Philippine Star, 10 August 2021

Not so fierce ‘critics’ - "...The other not-so-fierce “critics” of the administrations who were nominated by 1Sambayan as potential candidates are Poe, Santos-Recto, and Villanueva...Another candidate on the coalition’s list is (Vilma) Santos-Recto, who has recognized the extrajudicial killings in the country. She denounced the decision of the House to cut the budget of the Commission on Human Rights in 2017. The actress turned politician also stood against the rejection of the franchise of ABS-CBN in 2020. In 2017, she voted against the death penalty, which is one of the policies being pursued by the administration. Despite her previous dissenting votes in controversial proposed laws, she faced criticisms after she voted for the anti-terror law “with reservations.” The anti-terror law is one the most challenged laws in the Supreme Court’s recent history. In 2019, Santos-Recto ran under Nacionalista Party. This paved the way for Santos-Recto’s deputy speakership as her political party had come together with other political parties to join Duterte’s PDP-Laban and become the dominant political force in the Congress. Like (Grace) Poe, Santos-Recto expressed her disinterest to run for the presidency..." - James Partick Cruz, Interaksyon, 19 June 2021

Director Vi? - "...Isa pa, may ibang plano pa rin naman ako sa buhay ko. Hindi ako pulitiko habang panahon. Hindi ko pa rin nakakalimutan na artista ako...Nagpapasalamat naman ako sa kanila dahil naroroon ang kanilang pagtitiwala sa akin, pero sinabi ko naman sa kanila na wala akong plano para sa 2022. Sa bahay, ni hindi pa namin napag-uusapan ang pulitika. Ang haba pa ng panahon, halos isang taon pa. At dito sa Lipa, ubos na ang oras ko dahil tumutulong kami sa pagbabakuna, tulong kami sa ibang kailangan, mabuti nga hindi pa nang-istorbo ulit ang Taal dahil iyon talaga ang kinatatakutan ko. Kung may pandemya nang ganito tapos magiging problema pa namin ang Taal, hindi ko na alam kung papaano nga ba ang gagawin namin. Sinasabi nila problema iyan ng mayor, pero hindi kami maaaring magpabaya hindi lang dahil kaibigan namin si Mayor Eric Africa, kundi mga kababayan naming mga Batangueño ang nangangailangan, papaano ko sasabihing problema na ni Mayor iyan...Sa ngayon talaga wala akong ambisyon sa mas mataas na posisyon. Parang ang gusto ko na lang ngayon kumpletuhin ang term ko sa Congress para matapos ko ang lahat ng mga proyekto ko, and after three more years magre-retire na ako at mag-aartista naman. Balak ko ring magdirek ng pelikula at mag-produce...” - Honourable Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto, Representative of 6th District, Lipa City Batangas Philippines, Reported by Ed de Leon, Pilipino Star Ngayon, 14 June 2021

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
