Vilma Santos on box-office queen title: "Kahit papaano naman, e, grumadweyt na ako diyan.”

“But again, at the end of the day, importante pa rin yung box-office. Kasi foundation iyon ng isang artista, e.

“So ang ano… kumita muna yung pelikula. Kapag nagka-award ka, bonus! Di ba?”

Umaasa pa rin ba siyang magkaroon ng award bilang Box-Office Queen?

Apat na beses ginawaran ng Box-Office Queen of Philippine Movies si Vilma ng Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (GMMSFI): noong 1977, 1982, 1984, at 2001. Bukod pa rito ang box-office queen titles na iginawad sa kanya ng iba’t ibang award-giving bodies.

Sagot ni Ate Vi, “Hindi na. The mere fact na… I’ve been there, I’m very thankful.

“And the mere fact lang na kumita yung movie mo, panoorin ito ng marami, at mabawi ng producer yung kanyang pinuhunan, that’s good enough. ‘Yon lang!

“But aside from that, hindi na.

“Ibig kong sabihin, kahit papaano naman, e, grumadweyt na ako diyan.”

Kawawa naman si Nora Aunor, napag iwanan na ni Vilma Santos ng milya milya. Hayun, pagkatapos tanggapin ng TV5 at makakuha ng advanced payment, ay biglang tumalilis na naman at lumipad pa Vegas para lang mag casino na naman, at napapabalitang nangungutang na naman sa isang showbiz reporter na si Pilar Mateo, para lang may panustos sa bisyo. Kalaunan ay makukulong na ito dahil sa d pagtupad sa tinanguang mga kompromiso sa kontrata. Haayysss... tsk.tsk.

Vilma Santos has nothing to prove anymore when it comes to box office and awards. She paid her dues and if somebody has to prove themselves, it has to be the starlets of today. That's why we should not undermine the accomplishments of other veteran artists like herself, and Nora Aunor, Sharon Cuneta, and Maricel Soriano because they all have made their marks in Philippine showbizness. Regardless of where they are now, they are still living legends and icons of the industry which a lot of stars of today should envy.

To rickymagsino, SINUNGALING KA! Paano mo sasabihin na walang kwenta ang pelikulang ito, eh hindi pa napapalabas ang movie sa sine. Pare-pareho lang tayong di pa nakakapanood nito at this point. Obvious na nanghuhula ka lang. Gamitin mo ang pinag-aralan mo.

ikaw ang SINUNGALING chevalier. di mo kasi matanggap na SUPER - LAOS na ang VELMA mo, di ba Alfie Lorenzo? kaya tanggapin mo na sa puso mo na WALANG KWENTA tong pelikulang to, BASURA yang movie na yan.

Sobra ang support na ABS sa movie...lahat ng shows halos nandun ang cast at si Vilma din. Tagal na ding walang movie na kumikita kaya sure hit na ang The Healing.

Correction pls , si Nora Aunor po ang longest reigning Box Office Queen dahil mula pa noong early 70's ay puro box office hits na ang mga pelikula nya...May mga record of hits din si Vilma noon pero hindi kasing lakas ng mga pelikula ni Nora...Medyo nakaangat lang ng konti si Vilma kay Nora noong 1983 dahil nag lie low si Nora sa pelikula noong taong yun! Kung magbibilangan po tayo ng mga flop movies ng dalawa di hamak po na mas madaming movies si Vilma na nag flop noong dekada 70 compared kay Nora. Noong 80's karamihan sa mga pelikula ni Vilma ay mga flops like Sister Stella L, Alyas Baby Tsina, Ikaw Lang, Relasyon, Broken Marriage, and more...Nadala lan sya ng ilang mga blockbuster movies nya from Viva films na pawang mga komiks materyal na naging favorites ng mga panahong yung tulad ng Paano Ba ang Mangarap?..But when it comes to serious movies , tanging si Nora Aunor lang ang may box office power para kumita ang mga ganitong klaseng pelikula. The Flor Contemplacion Story , Bilangin ang Bituin sa Lan

This is a sure blockbuster Ate Vi. Based on the response ng tao sa trailer siguradong papatok ito sa takilya. Lalo ng dumami ang humanga sa iyo Ate Vi matapos nilang mapanood ang tribute sa iyo ng ASAP, SIR, at the Buzz. Nakakapanindig balahibo ang mga papauring ibinigay sa iyo na sadyang deserve mo.
