A Tribute To The Movie Queen Carmen Rosales "Ang Tangi Kong Pag-ibig"

A Tribute To The Movie Queen Carmen Rosales "Ang Tangi Kong Pag-ibig"

by Manny F. Fernandez

"Looking back, until the '70s, most movie queens came from Sampaguita Pictures. But no one was more colorful, more free-spirited, and more exciting than Carmen Rosales. My apologies to Gloria Romero and Susan Roces, gracious ladies whom I love so dearly, but compared to Carmen they were too correct, too prim and proper, too ladylike.

If I were to be asked to advise our younger start today, I would tell them: As an artist, you are entitled to your quirks, your tantrums, your idiosyncrasies. But love your art, love your craft, and love your camera. Always have a little Carmen Rosales deep within you and you can look forward to a long-lasting, exciting relationship with your viewing public

Yes, Carmen will live in our minds and hearts for a long, long time."

(Excerpts from Marichu Vera-Perez Maceda's speech delivered during a tribute to Carmen Rosales on February 28, 2005 at the Tanghalang Leandro Locsin, National Commission for Culture and the Arts building, Intramuros Manila)
