Rosa Vilma Santos started as a child actress at the age of 9 in
Trudis liit (1963). The same movie that gave her first FAMAS best child actress
award. She was married to Eduardo Manzano, with whom she has a son
named Luis Philip. The birth of her son gave more success to her movie
career; the reason why she calls him "Lucky". Several years afterwards,
her marriage with Eduardo Manzano ended with divorce. In the middle of
the 90s, her second marriage, to a rich politician, Ralph Recto who is
now a senator, took place. She was blessed with another son, Ryan
Christian. Vilma, now in her late 40s, entered into the political arena
when she won in the local elections as city mayor of her husband's home
residence. She has proven to her detractors that showbiz people can
also be an effective public servant. She enjoys the title, 'Star for
all seasons' of the Philippine Movie Industry as she continues to shine
by reaping more acting awards and box office success.
