MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now it can be told.

When 1Sambayan announced on June 12 that Vilma Santos-Recto was one of their choices for President or Vice President in the coming 2022 Philippine elections, the Congresswoman and former film star immediately declined the nomination, saying there are other people more qualified to run for the top positions of the land.

But in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Miss Santos disclosed her real reason for declining the nomination.

She has signed a contract to play the lead role in the remake of “Thy Womb,” originally played by her arch rival Nora Aunor. The Aunor film won many local and international awards.

We obtained a leaked copy of movie sequel’s promotional poster and we are publishing it here even without permission from the film’s producers.

Could Aunor then be nominated under the Duterte administration’s list of potential Presidents or VPs?
