I WAS shocked and aghast at Batangas Governor Armand Sanchez’s comment that it would take Vilma Santos-Recto three hours to apply makeup before being able to face people.
I am a married man, and I think such a comment before his loyalists and constituents was an insult to womanhood. I couldn’t believe I was hearing a politician say that in this 21st century, when there are successful women politicians all over the world. How politically incorrect!
Obviously, Sanchez needs better education, and obviously he needs to apologize to Ms Santos-Recto and to everybody. Such a blow below the belt, against a woman at that, has no place in our civilized society.

i am no vilmanian but i like vilma for being an honest woman. Maybe she can run for public office as a governor but not as a president. To be a president needs a lot of knowledge and i think vilma is not knowledgeable enough to be a president. Sorry vilma but am just honest to myself. we love you as an actress and infact, you and Miss Alma Moreno have the most beautiful face in philippine cinemas…thank you and more power ….

Congratulations to you Vilma Santos. You deserve to win. But what’s with the constant wearing of dark sunglasses? it’s rather not becoming of you. It’s really irritating to see a public figure ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. You have such a beautiful and refreshing face, and your eyes always showed your inner beauty, show them! Or are you hiding something? Good luck!

The loser cried loud! No wonder Vilma Santos-Recto won the election as Governor of Batangas. Mr. Sanchez needs to apologize and concede to his consituents regarding his comments to Vilma. Batanguenos are smart people to let Sanchez go…Congrats to Vilma, and looking forward for President of the Philippines in the near future!

Ms. Vilma Santos is the only actress who has been very successful in the political arena because she is diligent and her desire to learn has never halted. She is really star for all seasons not only in the film industry but also in the new era of Philippine politics. You’ll never know, someday She will be president, and why not?
