Ms. Susan Roces - Poe : The First Lady of Philippine Cinema
She has the name that surpassed time. Shining with glamour, she is one of the highly respected actresses in Philippine History.
Ms. Gloria Romero says: "She is loved by everybody around her" and Sharon Cuneta adds: "she must be emulated by everyone, very gracious, she's way up there, a class all by herself". Ricky Lo states that she has retained "The Face That Refreshes", all sweetness and light, the paradigm of things bright and beautiful.

Born in July 28, 1941, Jesusa Porifcacion Sonora also known as 'Ms. Susan Roces' started her career just by admiring her favorite actress, Ms. Gloria Romero. One day, her uncle told her to come to Sampaguita Pictures and see her idol in person. Through her amusement in finally meeting her idol, she re-enacted a scene in which a man in mustache approached and was amazed of her talent. He said to send in her audition tape. This man is none other than Dr. Perez, owner of Sampaguita Pictures.
Her very first movie is 'Mga Bituin ng Kinabukasan' by Nepomuceno Films. From then on she partnered with Luiz Gonzales in their first tandem movie, Boksingera. Followed by other loveteams with famous names such as Romeo Vasquez, Jose Mari Gonzales and the very handsome Eddie Gutierrez. But it was a man of action who had the tall, dark and handsome features that bagged the heart of Susan Roces, the King of Philippine Movies, Fernando Poe Jr. (+). Emerging herself in unforgettable movies such as to Susan with Love, Mga Ligaw na Bulaklak and Maruja, she earned the title as the Queen of Philippine Movies.
Today, she still continues to dazzle everyone. She is still supported by her loyal 'Susanians' and is a highly respected figure in the industry.
Her legacy is continued by ABS-CBN's Susan Roces Cinema Collection where they have showcased two of her best horror films of all time. (Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara & Maligno). Along with her friends, Amalia Fuentes, Delia Razon, Lilia Dizon, Gloria Romero and many more, she remains to be the "Face that Refreshes" that no one can equale or replace.

And Sir Bing's short advice for my thesis:
Just keep a positive outlook, you will reach your dream. I fulfilled one of my dreams, Susan Roces considers me her friend now, may bonus pa, her family is also very very nice to me. Sharing w/ you some memorable moments I had w/ the Queen of All Movie Queens
-- Bing C. Manalo, GMA Program Analysis - Office of the President
I wish I could also meet them.. I can feel that my destiny is getting crystal clear. I might after all belong to this industry. But that's too soon to tell.. Hope I could probably say it 5 years from now. :p
Hope you enjoyed this mini-tribute to the Queen.. Wait until you see her in my event! oops! I mean.. Theoretical event.. :D
Til next! :)
