Is Gov. Vilma Santos Moving Back To The Kapuso Network?

IS GOV. VILMA SANTOS moving back to GMA-7? It’ll be recalled that her musical variety show then, “Vilma”, ran on GMA-7 for so many years. Talks that she’ll be a Kapuso again stem from her being the special guest of Ryzza Mae Dizon in her morning talk show today and tomorrow. Then after that, she’ll also be in the pilot show of Marian Rivera’s own dance shown that starts on June 22.

“Guest lang ako sa shows na ito, hindi ako regular,” says Gov. Vi. “Pareho lang hindi ko matanggihan sina Ryzza at Marian at nag-enjoy naman ako when I was a guest in their shows. Sana panoorin nyo.”

Is it true she’s doing a movie with Ai Ai de las Alas that will be an entry in the next Metro filmfest? “Narinig ko rin yan pero wala pa namang pinadadalang script sa’kin. Ang script na pinadala sa’kin is a drama na makakasama ko ang anak kong si Luis at si Angel Locsin. But I doubt kung makakagawa ako ng movie this year kasi matatapos ang last term ko sa Batangas at dito ko gusto mag-focus. Marami akong pending projects na gusto kong makumpleto bago ako matapos sa pagiging governor. Yun ang priority ko. Ang dami ko ngang invitations abroad that I turned down. Meron sa States for Independence Day celebration this month. Ang daming international film festivals na entry ang movie ko, ‘Ekstra’, like sa Rome. Libre airfare, accommodations, pero hindi rin ako puede. Sayang nga, e. Batangas talaga ang priority ko.”

And after Batangas, she’s said to be running for higher office? “Naku, wala akong plano. Kami mismo ni Ralph, hindi namin napag-uusapan yan. Merong nagsasabing sa congress daw ako tatakbo at merong for vice president daw, but bale 18 years na ko sa serbisyo sa gobierno. 9 years as Lipa mayor and now, 9 years as Batangas governor. Puede bang magpahinga naman muna ako? But then, as I always say, everything is destiny. Hindi ko binalak mag-mayor or governor and yet, ibinigay sa’kin. Sa awa ng Diyos, I’d like to think na nagampanan ko naman ng maayos kasi nitong last election, yun ang pinakamalaking boto na natanggap ko so far, which means gusto naman ng mga tao ang paglilingkod ko sa kanila.”
