Before she left, Gov. Vi taped for the final episode of “100 Days to Heaven”. She’ll soon resume shooting her new Star Cinema movie, “The Healing”, directed by Chito Rono for a March release. Since the film concerns a faith healer, much of it will be shot in Lipa, Batangas where there are faith healers. A suspense-thriller, her co-stars include Kim Chiu (who played a tomboy in My Binondo Girl), Maria Isabel Lopez, Mark Gil and Martin del Rosario. Her fans believe she’s the local counterpart of Hollywood’s much respected Meryl Streep, but we daresay she has more accomplishments than Ms. Streep (who only two Oscar awards) not only in acting but also in public service. Meryl is also older at 62 while Ate Vi is only 58.
