Vilma Santos has shared her honest reaction on the clamor of fans that she be declared National Artist.
Vilma Santos graces the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Cine Icons event at University of Sto. Tomas to lead the special screening of her restored classic film ‘Anak,’ which is directed by Rory Quintos and written by National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee
When she was asked why she thought she was deserving of such an honor, she said it was not her place to say it. “Yun na nga, nagpapasalamat po talaga sa sobrang ginagawa niyo — mga Vilmanians — sobra, sobra. For that alone, panalo na ako nun. Sinabi ko na nuon pa, naniniwala ako na if it’s not meant to be, it will not happen.
As per NCCA, recipients are entitled to the following privileges: the rank and title of National Artist; gold-plated medallion minted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and citation; and a lifetime emolument and material and physical benefits comparable in value to those received by the highest officers of the land.
“Then her nuances… she’s effective in delivering dialogue, she’s excellent at delivering lines, she knows where to pause,” added the screenwriter. “And hearing their questions, you could feel their enthusiasm to learn and to know about your origins, what entertainment really is, and for that alone, napakalaking fulfillment maybe also because of my ongoing advocacy, which is payback time. I want to share and I want them to know anong meron sa movie industry or in the arts. So to be in front of them, it’s heaven.
