Actress-politician Vilma Santos-Recto maintained that she will honor her prior commitment to ABS-CBN in spite of having negotiations with rival network TV5. The Batangas governor told PEP in a recent interview that she is slated to do a TV show with the Kapamilya network, as well as a movie with its film outfit, Star Cinema.
“Even before ‘yung meeting ko with TV5, okay na kami ng Channel 2. Baka isang movie lang ang magawa ko sa taon na ito, and that is ‘yung sa Star Cinema,” she said, adding that while she’s open to the possibility of doing two films this 2011, “naka-focus ako for one movie a year.”
As for the TV show, where she will be its main host, the award-winning actress said it might be a combination of her two worlds: showbiz and public service. She also revealed that her husband, Senator Ralph Recto, might be part of the show.
“Medyo ipa-finalize pa, pero naka-ready na at pinag-uusapan na namin,” Vilma said in the same PEP article.
Meanwhile, she also related that she has met with TV5 Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) and other executives of the Kapatid network for possible projects, one of which is a movie.
“Sabi ko naman, eh, wala namang masama kasi wala naman akong exclusive contract. Lalo na, sila, 'pag gumawa ng pelikula, talagang ginagastusan din, kagaya ng ‘Rosario.’ Kaya sabi ko na lang sa kanila, antayin ko lang ang good script from them. 'Pag may script na, then pag-usapan na namin,” she said.
She was also offered to do a TV show, some commercials “at parang telecommunications,” Vilma added. The 57-year-old veteran, however, clarified that “wala pang finality ang lahat.”
But her dealings with MVP could possibly go beyond the realm of entertainment, as the TV5 honcho is willing to extend assistance to Vilma for her constituents.
“Last na napag-usapan namin ni Mr. Pangilinan, to help me as the governor of Batangas... Puwedeng hospital, sa tourism namin dito...” she revealed.
Amid these negotiations concerning her showbiz career, Vilma maintained that her political duties remain her top priority.
“Ayoko namang mapagsabihan na naman ako na 'absentee governor’,” she quipped, which may well refer to the controversy she got embroiled in when she did the Star Cinema film “In My Life” back in 2009.
