Vilma Santos nominated for 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 (with Moira Lang).
MANILA, Philippines — Veteran actress and "Star for All Seasons" Vilma Santos-Recto received a nomination to be part of the next batch of National Artist recipients.
The Cultural Center of the Philippines confirmed to Philstar.com that Vilma was among the National Artist nominees, the full list of which will be available at the end of June, the deadline for nominations, but will not be announced to the public. The winners, however, would be announced.
Vilma previously called the National Artist award bestowed on her fellow actress Nora Aunor was "the highest" honor an artist could receive.
"You know, if it's meant for you, it's meant for you," Vilma also said when asked if she also wants to be hailed a National Artist as well.
"'If it didn't go to you, it's not meant for you. So for those who were given, it's meant for them, like Ate Guy's. So if I have space there, the time will come when that's it, that's it for me."
Ate Vi also told Philstar.com last year she was willing to work with Nora again, given the right material, "If we can offer something new and something different, why not? Especially at our age now, right?"
