BATANGAS GOV. VILMA SANTOS does not have an entry in the Metro filmfest but her presence is very much felt because two Star Cinema entries pay tribute to her past films. Ai Ai de las Alas, after learning she has brain cancer in “
Tanging Ina Mo Rin”, apes her scene in “Dolzura Cortez Story” where she told the doctor who said she’s dying of AIDS: “Anong karapatan mong sabihin yan? Diyos ka ba?” In “
Dalaw”, Gina Pareno plays a diehard Vilmanian who often utters lines from past Ate Vi films like “Relasyon”, “Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa” and the famous line “Kundi ngayon kailan pa” from “Sister Stella L.”
