MOTHER LILY feels proud that town officials of Taal, Batangas made her their Adopted Daughter. The recognition rights were held last Tuesday night. “It’s an honor,” says the Regal matriarch. “I fell in love with the old town ambiance of Taal after we shot the movie ‘Oh My Girl’, so when they offered me to build a resort, I didn’t have any second thoughts. I now have the Imperial Palace Resort Hotel there nearing completion that will give jobs to its people. I love Taal kaya kahit busy ako ngayon with our filmfest entries, ‘Super Inday and the Golden Bibe’ and ‘Shake, Rattle & Roll 12’, panay pa rin ang punta ko dun to personally supervise the resort’s construction. It will be an ideal vacation place when it’s finished and I’m proud to be a Taalenia. Pareho na kami ni Gov. Vilma Santos na Batanguenia.”
