TUMANGGI na nga raw ang Star For All Seasons at Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto na magkaroon ng ca­meo sa remake ng kanyang pelikulang Miss X na pagbibidahan ni Katrina Halili.

Hindi naman daw sa tinanggihan nito na makasama si Katrina kundi masyado raw ma­raming trabaho ngayon ang butihing gobernador ng Batangas at imposible raw na maisingit pa nito ang mag-shoot ng pelikula.

Pero natutuwa naman daw si Gov. Vilma na ire-remake na ang mga lumang pelikula niya mapa-TV man o pelikula tulad nga ng Miss X, Dyesebel, Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan, Sinasamba Kita, Kampanerang Kuba at marami pang iba.

Sabi nga ni Gov. Vilma, wala raw siyang ma­gagawa kung feel ng mga producers na i-remake ang mga pelikula niya dahil magaganda nga naman daw lahat ng mga ginawa niya.

“Pass muna ako sa paggawa ng pelikula,” simpleng sagot lang ni Gov. Vilma nang tanu­ngin siya tungkol sa ba­lak ni Direk Gil Portes na mag-cameo siya sa remake ng Miss X.

Self-explanatory na iyong sagot niya.

Si Direk Gil Portes din ang nagdirek kay Gov. Vilma sa original na Miss X na pinalabas noong 1980.

Speaking of Vilma, ang kanyang mga anak ang itinuturing niyang greatest achievement, at ang pagiging ina, ang sinasabi niyang greatest role.

“Being a mother is not easy. It’s very physically draining, for one. And, just imagine, you are responsible for the deve­lopment and nurturing of this new life. It’s quite a challenge, I tell you.

“My two boys have been a source of great pride and joy. Both Luis and Ryan are smart, res­pectful and very consi­derate persons. And I’m glad that Luis has been a good role model.

“My work as milk ambassadress for Bear Brand has allowed me to rediscover the many benefits of milk. It has given me the opportunity to share with other mothers all the insights I have learned and gained through the years.

Every time I promote Bear Brand, I convince mot­hers to get their kids back to the milk-drinking habit. I truly believe in milk education.

“Milk drinking should be made a habit, especially for kids, to optimize their growth and deve­lopment.

And for mot­hers like me, let us nurture our children with not just one but two glasses of milk everyday.

“I believe that milk drinkers have more to offer in life and to our society in general. Children who grew up drinking milk are more well-rounded, well-grounded individuals,” say ni Ate Vi.
