Vilma Santos, inalala ang mga araw na nag naghihirap na siya dahil wala ng laman ang kanyang bank account

Award winning actress turned politician Vilma Santos talks about handling money and how important it is not to drown on your fame and your status as a celebrity.

In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) via Zoom last April 28, 2021, the 67-year-old Star For All Season revealed that whenever she works with younger celebs, she make it a point where she will share her experience where her bank account went “back to zero” so they can learn a lot from it.

“During break, lagi ko po silang kinakausap at nag-she-share po ako sa kanila ng mga experiences ko bilang isang artista at bilang isang artista na nagkaroon ng problema financially.

“Literally, back to zero. Nagka-utang-utang and everything, shine-share ko iyon sa kanila lahat kung papaano nangyari sa akin iyon.

“So even actors who are earning a lot, ang laki ng pera diyan, I always tell them please, please learn how to take care of your money.

“Kasi tomorrow is another day. Baka bukas, hindi ka na sikat. Ang dami mong pinagbibibili nang wala ka nang pambayad. Talagang lulubog ka financially.

“And it happened to me nung I was financially back to zero. So shine-share ko iyon sa kanilang lahat. How to recover, how to take care of their money, kung papaano nila dapat mahalin iyang career nilang iyan.

“Things like that na nashe-share ko po sa mga co-stars ko.” she stated.

Added the actress-politician, with the fast paced technology we are currently exposed in, the competition is much harder for everyone.

“Lalo ngayon, ambilis ng palitan ng mga artista. I mean in a month or two, may bago na namang mukha ang lalabas.

“That’s not good actually, mahihirapan kang umangat dahil ang dami niyo. Kailangan talaga may X factor ka para ikaw ang umangat sa dami niyo.

“Unlike noong panahon namin, nung generation namin, iilan ilan lang kami kaya naalagaan kami.

“At saka hindi pa ganyan ang technology. So kami lahat, talagang trinabaho namin para makilala kami.

“Umiikot-ikot kami sa mga probi-probinsiya physically para ipakilala iyong mga sarili namin. Wala pang social media noon.”
