Hands down that Nora’s version is way better!
Vilma Santo looks cuter and her voice sounds cuter.
Way way far better Nora’s version
Nora’s version is more way off than Vilma’s version
Nora’s the real singer, how come Vilma’s more entertaining?
this a blast ! vilma’s version is more entertaining - childlike , very innocent - more apt to the song
how can i download these songs, it’s very entertaining and relaxing both is very funny
vilma’s version no doubt……..santa klaws ano ba yan ate guy……..
jun is correct….the song if for kids in general even though nora sings well, medyo baduy for me. However Vilmas song sounds like lata but it cute and childlike at mas bagay sa song. Sofor me vilma is better on this particular song….
its a children song, and vilma sang it well this time. Nora’s version is a bit baduy.
Voice quality wise, definitely Nora’s voice is superior. I beg to disagree about nora’s diction, re: “santa klaws”, that’s the correct way to pronounce it.
Although vilma has never been a good singer, the song fits to her perfectly. It’s funny, hilarious child like. Her diction is something to make you laugh!
hey where did you get this files? I want them on my blog too if its ok with you guys.
To answer the question
Vilma nailed it, she is soo entertaining, I could just imagine the big ribbons and pigtails.. Well as for Nora, I’m a fan but what happened?
I like Vilma’s version. Very entertaining.
Ano nangyari kay nora para siyang namatayan
sa kantang ito.
My God…I like Ate Vi’s version of course though shes not a singer but her way of rendering the song makes it very christmas like…very jolly and cute. agree ako na yung kay nora para syang namatayan…
Mas gusto ko ang version ni Vilma, ang saya2x pakinggan, buhay na buhay ang pagka-kanta, nakaka-indak. Yung kay Nora naman ay bakya ang dating ng boses nya at walang kasigla-sigla.
VILMA’s version is FAR FAR better. This is supposed to be a children’s song and Vilma sounded cute and innocent UNLIKE Nora who sang it as if she was singing at the WAKE of her DEAD CAREER!!! Bravo VILMA!!!
honest opinion, and no fan mentality Nora is supposed to be the better singer, she’s the GIRL WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE,as they say,but I can’t understand VILMA’s version is much much better,(at saka parang hindi naman out of tune,dinoktor kaya?)more entertaining and perfect for the song,if they gonna release this song as a CD, I think GOLD RECORD yung ke ATE VI… HEHEHEHEEHE…… baka simula na naman ito ng GYERA ng mga VILMANIANS AT NORANIANS.
I like Vilma Santos’version it’s more lively. I agree with Gina and others nora sounded like she was singing at the wake.
Vilma sound so cute here and it fits her vioce….really perfect for her…mapapaindak ka sa kanya.
Wow! Nasurprisa ako ah, may naitago pa pala kayong ganitong mga lumang kanta noong bata pa sila, hehehe. As a singer, I am focus to the voice of NORA which I expect her to sing well.Pero iba ata ang narinig ko-ang daming “shssshh” sa pronounciation niya. And to my surprise kay VILMA na hindi singer, ehem….Entertaining, with Good Voice Projection….with feelings and Style, hehehe. Sana buhay na ako noon para naging manager ni Vilma (uso na ba noon ang Vilmanians? sali ako) hahaha! -jokejokejoke.
Ginamit na tong files na to sa accent training namin sa call center.
of course Ate Vi’s version is much better, hindi na pinagtatalunan yan. jamby, pwedeng pakibigay ng reference tungkol sa tamang pronunciation ng ‘clause’, hindi kaya ykw version yan? just asking!
nora’s a good singer but what happened….. “santa klaws” daw!? vilma’s version is more better, the way she pronounced those words in the song however medyo “exag” lang ng konti bcoz of her voice……
Thumbs up for Vilma Santos’ version and thumbs down for nora aunor’s version. Akala ko ba singer si nora? Baka high na rin siya noon pa man!
I like Vilma’s version. She is much prettier too.
both are gems of opm history when these two stars were literally untouched by anything like starstudio or talent center - magaspang pa - real diamonds in the rough - these babies have gone a long long way since then - kudos to them and their role in pinoy pop history.
Vilma’s version. Beautiful then until now. The one and only Star for all Seasons.
I just have to post my comment this time. Definitely Vilma’s version. Eversince I found out about this site. Vilma makes me visit this site over and over again and listen to her sing. Very refreshing! She has magic and you just get addicted to her. Indeed pretty even then until now.
Vilma is cute but Nora has the voice. Don’t be cruel guys, the arrangements and technology have improved a lot since then - both recordings are dated.
Definitely Vilma’s version. Nora a singer? Not with what I heard.
Panalo si Vilma! Platinum… wonder where you could get her songs?
Nora? Oh well…
vilma’s version is cute & better than
nora’s version.
Nora’s voice was put into waste.Good voice, wrong choice of song! Vilma’s rendition was a lot better…full of life.It suits her childlike voice.As to the pronunciation of the word “Santa Clause”,Vilma was right on the mark.Remember, this is an American English song, so “Santa Klos” is the right way to say it.Most Europeans though, pronounced “Claus or Klaus” as “Klaws” like we, Filipinos do.
oh well, vilma’s version is cuter. and you guys are so keen on nora’s pronunciation on the word “Claus”, that you failed to notice vilma’s way of saying creep. i think she said “CREP”.
I like Vilma’s version. Tama yun pronunciation ni Vilma ng creep. Ikaw yata ang nagkamali nag pagdinig. She is a beauty even then hanggang ngayon.
Nora pa rin! sino ba si santa close ate vi?
Definitely Vilma! Who is this nora? Is she the same person caught in LA with drugs? How shameful! You call her a singer with the way she sing that song? Sound like she’s singing at a wake. The song supposed to be jolly.
Its definetely VILMA’S version. Its more entertaining than that of nora.
i like the way ms. vilma santos sings! nakaka-inlove!
Bakita ganun…mukhang walang kaclass class yung kay Ate Guy nakakaloka…nakakatuwa yung kay Ate Vi parang nilampaso yung version ni Ate Guy…kaya siguro sikat parin si Ate Vi hanggang ngayon…nandito ang proof…yun lang po!!!
nora: worse
vilma: better
as frankly as that. just be honest to what you feel hearing them, that’s is if you know what is rendering a song is all about. period. walang aangal!
cute yung kay ate vi. nora’s has a beautiful voice no doubt about it
Nora’s version, very professional. Vilma’s version, very amateur. Para lang siyang kumakanta sa banyo.
Thumbs up for Vilma’s version. Beautiful voice ba matatawag yun kay nora, parang kumakanta siya sa isang wake.
Of course, Vilma’s version.
Happy Birthday Vi, and many more…
Wishing you all the Best.
Love you.
tinatanong pa ba yan? Vilma’s version siempre is much, much better than Nora’s. Vilma’s version is full of life and energy. Nora’s version sounds as dead as her career.
Happy Birthday Ate Vi, the Greatest Actress of All Times!
Tama! Di na dapat tinatanong yan. Mas maganda pakinggan ang version ni ate Vi. Kasing ganda ni ate Vi. May tama ka ulit,
dead na yun career ni nora.
Happy Birthday Mayor/Ate Vi, you’re THE BEST!
Professionally speaking, it should be Ate Guy’s version, no doubt. The issue here is who’s version is better, but some respondents were basing their answers not on the song but on the other aspects.
your’e 100% right ijicon THE ISUUE HERE IS WHO’S VERSION IS BETTER? kaya nga nagtataka ako NORA AUNOR is much much better singer even the most avid VILMANIAN aaminin iyan, and even VILMA herself at alam ng buong mundo that VILMA is not a real singer pero bakit nga mas maganda ang version ni VILMA? and base sa mga reactions halos lahat enjoy at agree na VILMA’S version is better so mas magaling lang ba sigurong mag interpret si VILMA? or na emphasize lang na magaling na singer si NORA noon kasi nga ke VILMA lagi ang comparison na boses ek ek nga(hehehehe) same thing din na sinasabi nila na maganda si VILMA kasi nga ke NORA din kinocompare?
sa PINOY kasi basta maputi maganda ke sa maitim? maganda yatang case study ito ano?
even if you stick to the way they sung the song, definitely Vilma’s version is way way better than Nora’s.
Nora’s version was professionally sung. You can hear the singer. “Klaws”, so???that is what we say in the Phil. Vilma’s is cute but almost out of tune, like a child’s, similar to my baby’s karaoke songs already stored on my memory file. And what did Vilma say, where did Mommy tickle Santa Claus????
Yes that’s the way we sing it in the Philippines if we pronounce it in Pilipino. But since it is an English song it should be pronounce the way the Americans say it which is “clause”.
I will take Vilma’s version of the song anytime over Nora’s version na pamburol. It’s a Christmas song not a funeral song for crying out loud!!!
I prefer Nora’s version. The comments about it being baduy and pamburol, I don’t get it.
hahahaha! nakakatawa naman yung nagsabing bakya ang version no nora, madam yung mga bakya ang gusto ng mga pinoy. . hahahahaha
Although I’m usually partial to Vilma, I’d say Nora’s is a better version by just a tad. I don’t see why people say she sang like she was at a wake. Yeah, Nora mispronounced Claus and a few other words, but Vilma couldn’t get the long e sound (creep, sleep,etc). But that’s typical of most Filipinos anyway.
In any case, great find. Very entertaining!
nakakalokah!!! napa tumbling ako sa tuwa yun lang!!!!
pinoy ako pero di ko gusto ang pagkabakya ni nora. mas nakakaaliw ang version ni vilma. christmas is supposed to be a celebration, full of joy and life. the way nora sung this song, christmas seems to be a wake service. vilma by a mile here.
With this song, Vilma sang it better than Nora. Nora’s voice is musky, low, alto. To sing a kid’s song with this voice does not give it justice. Para mong narinig si Darius Razon na kumanta nang “Feliz Navidad”. I wish I can download these songs.
Are you guys deaf? Nora Aunor’s version is really great compared to Vilma’s irritating version. Vilma can’t even pronounce and enunciate properly. Vilma very amateurish. Nora very professional.
Narinig ng anak ko itong mga kanta nila
Vilma Santos at Nora Aunor ng pinakikinggan ko ito. Maski anak ko gustong gusto niya yun version ni Vilma Santos. Gusto niya ulit-ulitin yun kanta ni Vilma Santos. Hindi marunong mag sinungaling ang mga bata. Just like my daughter, I like Vilma Santos’ version.
Nora should learn how to sing, really. di lang pala a better actress si Vilma compared to Nora. she is even better in putting the right emotions into a song. An what’s the matter with Nora? Santa Klaws? Give me a break.
What do you mean better actress? well maybe Vilma has managed her career very well but nora aunor is the real artist here. Vilma has yet to do a stage play and Nora has done several. The problem with some gays, masyado sila fixated sa feeling”fabulous” na looks ni vilma (na halata naman na retokada) Yes i am a noranian and proud of it because may basis ang choice ko. Sa version na ito, what is wrong with “claus” version of ate guy? sa europe that is how we pronounce it….
pwedi ba may plaka kami nyan di ganyan ang version ni ate guy something went wrong sa pagkaka gawa nito sa computer..
We are talking about who’s version is better Vilma’s or nora’s. Paano pumasok ang retokada dito? Nakita mo ba with your own eyes na Vilma did it? What about nora ? Maski balitarin mo pa ng ilan paulit ulit, Vilma’s version pa rin talaga ang mas maganda at mas entertaining. Nasaan na si nora mo? Nahuli sa LA airport with drugs. Nakakahiya siya! Pati ang bansang Pilipinas dinamay niya. Ang tanda-tanda na di pa natuto.
at di lang nahulihan ng droga, NUMERO UNONG PLASTIC pa sa showbiz according to Nanay Lolit. at di lang yan UTANGERA pa.
si nora real artist? i don’t think so. VILMA is the most awarded ACTRESS of them all. she is the GREATEST ACTRESS the Philippine Cinema has ever produced. VILMA is the real artist dahil marunong siyang magbigay ng halaga sa kanyang propesyon bilang aktres.
di lang better actress si VILMA. she is much much better compared to nora when putting the right emotion into a song. at yan ang totoo.
you know i never felt any emotion with vilma’s version. she never knows how to move the listeners’ feelings.nora is so fanstastic in her rendetion and effortless.vilma is nothing but a second rate trying hard copy cat.hindi sya nakakaaliw, nakakakilabot. and nora has a good pronunciation, with correct stress to every sound.sa lalamunan nanggagaling ang boses ni vi or should i say sa ilong, si nora sa diaphragm kaya nabavibrate.
nag voice lesson ba si vi? listen how nora say her lines in movies, walang himala,WA lang, HI mala. si vi i sow mommyeee kissinnnggg sangta kkklose….ano ba yan puro sa ilong nnnnggggg.
Vilma’s version is better PERIOD. Open up your ears. Obviously, it’s plugged just like your brain.
kawawa naman si nora, LAOS na, nag-droga pa. so what kung galing sa ilong ang boses ni Vilma at least di sumisinghot sa ilong tulad ni nora. nora’s interpretation of the song is too one dimensional tulad na rin ng kanyang akting. walang kalatoy-latoy. tulad ng kayang akting, di nagbago ang kanyang pagkanta. walang growth. tsk..tsk..tsk.
This is a x-mas song sung in the 1940’s by an american comediane entertainer for children, pinaiipit nya ang boses to sound more juvenile and entertaining, so this song is the wrong material for Nora to sing but bagay sa childlike voice ni Vilma.
Vilma is much better. Though she is not
a singer but she can entertain audiences
with her beauty and performance despite
she is not a real singer.
aliw.
may rivalry pa rin pala sa mga fans ni nora at vilma sa 2007.
Vilma wagi sa round na ito tska di ba star for all SEASONS sya! hawak nya din ang christmas SEASON! char!
vilma sounds like alyssa alano and rufa mae quinto…hahahaha vilma’s version is very funny….
Very nostalgic, this wells-up my eyes and starts a rivalry with my family. I liked both versions.
Vilma! Vilma! Vilma!
si vilma parang iniipit na ipis ang boses!
nora pa rin! golden voice talaga ang nagiisang superstar!
first of all, HINDI KO ALAM GANYAN ANG EXTENT NG RESOURCES NI MIGS! what’s next? judy ann’s songs? just kidding.
i think vilma’s version is better. i like them both as actresses.
pasensya na if maiba ako ng topic, who is the better gay idol? nora or vilma? for me si nora. just take a look at the many ate guy impersonators. hehehe.
si nora parang may palaka sa lalamunan! ang bigat bigat pakinggan. imbes na magsaya ka dahil christmas song, maiiyak ka pa sa inis. si Vilma cute ang boses at na justify niya ang emotion ng kanta which is supposse to bring joy in the spirit of christmas.
pati ba naman sa kantahan, talong talo pa ni Vilma si nora? kawawa naman si nora poor second na lang kay Vilma. ex-superstar na kasi siya, di ba?
eeeek! as a performer/singer, both of them sounded awfull and they doesnt even know how to pronounce the words. omg. i cant belive theyre the superstar and the star for all seasons. damn, im so SUPER upset for them. hehehe.
nora’s voice is a voice of a has-been star. never nag grow, never nag improve just like her acting.
vilma’s voice is cute at bagay na bagay sa song. like her acting, her singing has a depth, full of emotions. she continues to amaze us. no wonder she is still on top of her game.
to jamby: diction has nothing to do with it. perhaps u were pertaining to their ENUNCIATION. DICTION is the choice of words. go check ur dictionary and go back to Elementary English. half-wit.
naman,,,, siyempre si nora aunor ang the better, anu ba naman ung mga nagsasabing it’s vilma, you are insulting the intelligence of our music expert, wag kayong maging fan mentality kahit saan yo daanin NORA AUNOR PA RIN…NORA NORA NORA
YOU GOTTA HEAR LA AUNOR’S VERSION OF “JINGLE BELL ROCK”…WINNER.
yun na nga. nora is the singer between the 2 and yet Vilma’s version came out better. nakapagtataka na Vilma has beaten nora in her ballgame. aminin man ng mga noranians o hindi, talagang iniwan na ng milya milaya ni Vilma ang arch rival niya. napagiwanan na nga sa takilya, napgaiwanan pa sa musika. poor nora…
walang bago sa style ng pagawit ni nora. never nag-grow. Vilma’s version is way, way better than nora’s. period.
It’s two (2) thumbs up for NORA!
VILMA by a mile!
puwede ba! VILMA’s version is more entertaining than nora’s. VILMA’s version is way, way better than nora’s.
cute ang pagkakadale ni vilma sa version nya.maswerte talaga ang babaeng ito.bukod na pinagpala.talagang xmas spirit ang feeling ko when i heard her song.in fairness to nora’s version,ok din naman.kaya lang parang malungkot at di jolly ang pagkakakanta nya.para ba’ng alam na nya ang mangyayari sa career nya.parang yung xmas,naging holy week bigla.di tugma.imagine,siguro they were both teens when they recorded those songs,si vilma talagang bata pa ang boses,si nora,parang adult na.
di na ako bago sa mga kantang pamasko ng dalawa.when i was in the philippines,madalas i-play sa 3 FM stations ang mga xmas songs nila every sunday morning.kakatuwa.nostalgic baga.lalo na si vi kasi di naman sya talaga singer pero ang tempo ng mga songs nya,mapapaindak ka.ang alam ko hanggang ngayon,they have played all songs not only xmas songs but pati na yung ibang songs nila.yung mga songs ni vilma,mostly orig,yung kay nora,ginaya lang sa mga foreign female singers like doris day,bassey,etc.
i couldn’ agree more, cavalieron. Vilm’as version is full of joy and reflect the spirit of Christmas. yung kay nora…ay ewan!
i think ate vi’s rendition is better and more appropriate…nora’s version is way too old for my taste.
both interestingly amusing - moreso the comments that come with
it
klaws nga kay nora kay vilma naman yung “saw” ginawa niyang “so” anu ba yun? nora pa rin, hihihi^^
di ko to kinaya. haha!
parang pampatay yung versiojn ni nora. yung kay Vilma tamang tama sa spirit ng Pasko: masaya at jolly. Vilma pa rin, hehehehe…
Vilma by a mile! napagiwanan ng matagal si nora. yung version niya bagay na bagay sa kinahinatnan ng kanyang movie career. nakakalungkot. Vilma’s version naman is bagay na bagay sa kanyang career: masigla at buhay na buhay.
Very funny. Vilma’s version sound like that of a six-year old. Very funny
yes, it’ so funny. Nora’s version sound like that of a forty six-year old trying to be a six-year old. very funny indeed.
In this particular song, I like Vilma’s version than Nora’s. Vilma’s version is more entertaining! Nora’s version is a bit dull just like her present career.
Vilmanian ako FOREVER kaya bias na ako!
What I did was - pinarinig ko sa mga pamangkin kong aged 5 to 8 years old. Sobrang nakakatawa ang reactions nila - yung isa upon hearing Nora song, napapikit sa mata na parang inantok. Pero nung pinarinig ko dun sa version ni Vi, bigla ng napasmile at me konting indak. Say ng mga kids, better daw yung 2nd version, which is Vi’s.
Try nyo daw for yourself.
i enjoyed listening to ate vi’s version!
very cute! She owned the song! hehhee
DO WE HAV TO JUSTIFY WHO IS BETTER?THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE LEGITIMATE SINGER HERE?THINK BETTER?
JONAS alam ng buong mundo na si NORA ang tunay na singer.. kahit ang pinaka avid fan ni VILMA at mismong si GOV. VI aaminin yan..pero ang tanong nga which singer/actress sang the better version? kahit ikaw mismo hindi mo masagot na si NORA dahil kung magiging honest ka alam mong si VILMA nga ang may mas better na version, ngayon THINK BETTER?
yun na nga kung sino pa ang singer siya pa ang walang kalatoylatoy kumanta. siya pa ang hindi marunong magbigay na tamang feeling sa kanta. diyan ka hahanga kay Vilma she is the non-singer between the 2 and yet she was able to give justice to the spirit of the song.
now, who do you think is better? VILMA, of course!
Nora’s version: MONO
Vilma’s version: STEREO
wla lng.. hahaha
Kasalanan mo to Miggs,matagal nang di magkalevel ang 2 to.Matagal nang napag-iwanan ni Vilma si Nora,mapa-pelikula o pulitika.Pero hanggang sa kanta pa ba naman eh,llamado pa rin si Sister Stella L?
Vilma’s version is better and more lively. Nora is a good singer and an of experienced singer. I like her, specially when she sings “Pearly Shells” and “Tiny Bubbles”. Vilma amazed me with her “Sweet Sixteen” to think that she is not a singer and acting is her forte. Should she given a rigorous voice lessons, practice and good pieces of songs she could emerged as “The Brenda Lee of the Philippines”.Vilma is good in emoting and delivering dialogues, you don’t need to see her facial expressions or body movement to relate, truly a multi-media actress. She can voice act on the radio or on the stage with a huge crowd watching not merely focusing on her face. But Alas!!!She is not limited to this kind of acting, she can also be a “psychological” actress, meaning she can also use her eyes with less dialogue if the story, screenplay,script and situations ask for it as seen in “Dekada 70″. I like Nora too, specially in “Sidhi” I like this movie(I wonder why she did not win any award for this movie) and also worth mentioning “Flor Contemplacion”, “Ina Ka ng Anak Mo” etc. Also, I wanted to see Nora focus more on dialogue and body movement not just using her eyes. Don’t use to much “diin” on the words just to emphasize it or maybe you are like this in real life? Vilma and Nora or Nora and Vilma are the only high caliber actresses that the Philippine cinema ever produced to date. Please learn from one another’s acting ability. Try different approaches. Nora can adopt Vilma’s acting and Vilma can adopt Nora’s acting para naman hindi kayo branded. So no one can compare you with each other. Whether who is hysteric, subdued, soft or hard acting actress. Halo-halo lang po.
AY!!!! Ba’t saan napunta ang usapan. Sorry po…
I believe “Dekada 70″ is originally offered to Nora so the script, screenplay and maybe acting is patterned after Nora. But Vilma made it. She instantly was transform to a subdued- acting actress. See what I mean? No one canbe branded hysteric or subdued, it depends on the script, screenplay and the story. I wanna see Miss. Aunor do a monologue or a sort of delivering a Kilometric dialogue like what Vilma did in “Burlesk Queen” while talking to her dying father, Leopoldo Salcedo and also in “Pagputi ng Uwak, Pag-itim ng Tagak” when talking to Bembol Roco or in “Ibulong mo sa Diyos”. I definitely believe Miss. Aunor can do the same. Delivery of lengthy dialogue in one situation and effective use of eyes in another, in one movie will make a big revelation. Vilma’s acting in “Relasyon” is branded “hysteric”. But I don’t believe this claim. The situation in the movie calls for a hysteric reaction after being submissive for sooooo longgggg time to a very passive and dominating Emil (Christopher) ,the need to confront him when loosing her sense of self respect is essential scene in the movie, too much is enough!!! HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF YOU WERE IN HER SHOES? I remember the line “Bilang No. 2 wala kang legal personality, ang mamanahin ng mga illegitimate child kalahati lang o 1/4 ng mamanahin ng legitimate child, Iha mahirap yang pinasok mong yan, talo ka all the way”. If you use subdued acting here, how would you attack the role/situation ?Maybe your eyes will work alone here and then lost consciousness, fainting. But how would you communicate to let the aggressor- a very special person in your life knows that you are achingly and badly surprised and fed up. I saw Ate guy in “Bilangin ang mga Bituin sa Langit”, she is awesome in this movie, the only thing I don’t like is when she “diin” the dialogue like in one confrontation scene with Tirso “Ang hindi nakakakilala sa pangalang Magnolia dela Cruz ay AH-SU(aso) lamanggg…” Si Ate Vi naman I don’t like her scene with Gabby in “Bukas Sisikat din ang Araw”. Sino po ba ang gumawa ng script, screenplay and nag-direct nito, Naku!!!!. Supposed to be nag-agawan sila ni Gabby ng Baril and then instantly biglang naglitanya ng dialogue si Ate Vi, kulang at wala yung transformation of scenes and emotions. Sana medyo napagod muna si Ate Vi from that agaw baril scene, probably panting or tired- looking or nag-aapoy sa galit yung mga mata then look back to Gabby then the realization then dialogue. Instead tinalikuran nya si Gabby and face the camera then dialogue kaagad. Pag ako nag-direct nun mate-take 2 sila. Not convincing yung scene, I would never have a second thought of revising the screenplay and script. Sometines nagagago ang mga actors no matter how good they are gawa din ng director, script and screenplay. AYYYY sorry po saan na naman tayo napunta. Kakainip kasi yung topic natin ngayon. The better Rendition for the song ” I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause”. Produkto iyan nung mga musical arranger, voice mixer and sound Engineer nyan,isinama na rin sana nila yung proper phonetics and diction when conceiving this project. Naging lively yung kay Ate Vi kasi the musical arranger is thinking. Thinking happily because the song itself is a naughty child’s song talking during a very wonderful and happy season of the year!!!! Hindi lang masyadong umakma sa spirit ng Christmas yung kay Ate Guy, a little slow lang ang tempo. Although Ate Vi until now, amazes me with her rendition of “Sweet sixteen” thinking she is not a singer per se and never competed in any singing jamboree, nakikiuso lang sa wari. Practice and more Voice lessons lang ang kailangan ni Ate Vi (Sino ba ang manager ni Ate Vi at that time, kakainis sya, kung sino man sya!!!). Orig ang voice ni Wonder Vi and she can be lined up to the kind of Brenda Lee or Sue Thompson (yung nag sing ng “Sad Movies” ba yun?) should she given a rigorous voice coaching and lessons…. Hay naku!!!! humaba na naman ang usapan natin.. VIlma!!!!Nora!!!!Vilma!!!Nora!!!!hep,hep, Hooray!!!!!
Kung Magkaka-anak ako ng babae, ang ipapangalan ko ay:
1.Novilmara or
2.Vilnorama or
3.Livmaron or
4.Onramvil
To remind everyone to eradicate the showbiz epidemic disease called “Billingitis”.
Should a chance exist to remake Sister Stella L. and Himala. I would like to have Nora do Sister Stella L. and Vilma do Himala.
Should a chance exist to remake Atsay and Alyas Baby Tsina, I would like Vilma do Atsay and Nora do Alyas Baby Tsina.
Should a chance exist to remake Flor Contemplacion Story and Tagos ng Dugo, I would like Nora to do Tagos ng Dugo and Vilma do Flor Contmeplacion Story.
Should a chance exist to remake Dolzura Cortez Story and Burlesk Queen, Nora is my first choice no doubt.
Should a chance exist to remake Ang Totoong Buhay ni Pacita Macaspac and Ina ka ng Anak Mo, Vilma will be the best to play the title role, no doubt.
To remake Relasyon and Karma, no doubt my choice is Nora, of course.
Minsa’y isang Gamu-Gamu and Andrea, Paano Ba ang Maging isang Ina remake?
Wonder Vi can do it.
Broken Marriage and Ipagpatawad Mo remake?
Si Super Gee na kesa iba, of course.
Condemned and Bakit may Kahapon pa? remake? Syempre si Tondo Girl na kesa iba pa.
Bata-Bata Paano ka Ginawa? and Rubia Servios? Si Batang Iriga na syempre pa.
Merika and Tatlong Taong walang Diyos?
syempre pa di si Velma.
Ibulong mo sa Diyos and Karma remake?
syempre si Nura, walang duda.
at marami pang role reversal, etc. etc.

11. Kampanerang Kuba vs. Bakekang (both uses prothetics altering their looks)
12.Atsay vs. Anak ( both working as domestic helper)
13.Dolzura Cortez Story vs. Flor Contemplacion Story ( both true story,both with names of the person in the title, both died in the end, both left behind their children, both have social relevance and challenges social awareness)
14.Sidhi/Paru-parong Itim vs. Bugso/Ibulong mo sa Diyos ( both films, they tackle the role of a blind person)
15. King Khayam and I vs. Erap is my Guy ( both are paired with Joseph Estrada)
16.Little Christmas Tree vs. Batya’t Palu-Palo/Bato Sa Buhangin/Ikaw ang Mahal Ko ( both paired with FPJ )
17. Nora was teamed-up With Edu Manzano, and Vilma was teamed-up with Christopher, both estranged husband)
18.T-Bird At Ako vs. Relax ka Lang Sagot Kita ( both played litigation lawyers)
And many more….except that in extremes Vilma never played the ultimately abused domestic helper and Nora never played the gyrating, sexy, enticing Burlesk Dancer. Did Nora ever played the role of a mistress or did Vilma ever played the role of a low class farmer?
Alam nyo what is wrong kay Ate Vi? Super conscious sya sa look nya kaya di niya ma-dare gumawa ng mga film na deglamorized ang main character. Limited yung mga film nya na nag-fofocused sa real life na may cultural and sociological perspective na kung baga panlaban sa international award. Na-focused sya sa komiks-radio type of movie. Mabibilang sa daliri yung mga ginawa nya na masasabing may impact culturally. Yung mga ginawa nya na masasabing may cultural relevance:
1. Burlesk Queen
2. Pagputi ng Uwak,Pag-itim ng Tagak (kaya lang modernized parin ang character nya dito,city girl. Sana ginawa na lang syang barrio lass dito since most of the scenes here were shot in rural areas to depict filipino culture, like yung pabasa sa background/musical scoring, prusisyon etc.)
3. The Dolzura Cortez Story
4. Bata-Bata Paano ka Ginawa?
5. Sister Stella L.
6. Dekada ‘70
Siguro ang habol niya dito ay Box-office Hit, kaya naging Hall of famer sya as Box-Office Queen.
Masasabi rin siguro na it’s the trend and kasi naman hindi mulat ang mga Pinoy during those decades. Dapat may sampalan, may naaapi na lumaban, may iyakan na prolonged pa. Pang-komiks nga sus !!! o kaya Bomba pictures!!! I remember Sister Stella L. na sumemplang sa Takilya over Sharon Cuneta’s Komiks Film na “Bukas Luluhod ang mga Tala” ba yun?
In comparison to Ate Guy:
Si Super Bulilit, she don’t really care how she looks on the screen. Mas marami syang nagawang film na Culturally proud ako.Like:
1. Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos
2. Bona ( very filipino character, very submissive and fanatic)
3. Ina Ka ng Anak Mo(slum area, may radio soap opera pa sa background sound effect ba yun?)
4. Atsay ( hey don’t give the world an idea on how submissive we are!!!)
5. Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo ( nakarelate ako sa kanya dito, SSOBBRAA!!!!!)
6. Flor Contemplacion Story
7. Bakit May Kahapon Pa?
8. Sidhi
9. Minsan may isang Ina
10.Ang Totoong Buhay ni Pacita Macaspac
11. Himala
Nora I believe doesn’t care if magiging box-office hit ba ang mga films nya.At hindi glamorous ang mga characters na ginampanan n’ya dito. Kaya naman hindi sya masyadong naluklok as Box-Office Queen sad to say. Kasalanan iyan ng masa na hindi pa mulat sa tunay na Works of Art. Marami na akong napanood na pelikula, mostly foreign films from France, Iran, Germany, China, Japan, Italy, Tibet, Mongolia, Korea, Russia, Israel, South Americans, Spain, Portugal etc. hundreds and hundreds of them. Kaya si Ate Guy AND Ate Vi are on my list. France’s films are very realistic parang hindi pelikula, siguro mga 85% parang real life documentary walang kyeme ang maga artista, HINDI MASYADONG COMMERCIALIZED.
I hope to see Ate Vi and Ate Guy do more films like this. Palagay ko namumulat na ang sambayanang pinas ngayon. Look, they are now beginning to embrace Independent Films, WOWWW!!!, saludo ako.
The form of film making here in America to the likes of Ate Vi and Ate Guy films in comparison.Ito ang napapansin ko, they don’t focus on too much crying or prolonged crying to the point that may mga instances na it takes few seconds lang ang allocation nila for crying. Kung minsan yung main character pigil o restrained pa yung pag-iyak. Yun lng po ang napapansin ko. Kaya po ako if I watch Filipino films especially yung may namatay or namatay na nga hay sus ko ilang minuto yun na ibinabad makikita mo yung mukha na uhugin talaga.
To compare this two actress to foreign actresses? Here how it goes:
1. Vilma is more like Meryll Streep, excellent in dialogue, superb body movement required in the scenes,very natural especially in domestic drama like yung magbubukas ng cabinet to put something on the dining table then sasawayin yung mga anak, tawag sa katulong, sasagot sa phone and biglang magswi-switch yung emotions nya galit sya ngayon, then biglang tatawa nung may tumawag na iba. Yung dialogue nya the way she delivers it ang pamatay nya, very natural. Like yung scene sa “Relasyon” I remember the line “Magigising ka, Babangon ka, Maliligo, Magbibihis, Kakain Ka,then papasok ka sa Trabaho, Then pag dating mo magbibihis ka, Kakain Ka, Matutulog, yun lang ng yun walang pinag-iba, Ako Salita ako ng Salita pero Ikaw pag kinakausap kita di ka sumasagot puro ka lang UHHH, UHHH”, di ba napaka-effective and natural. Very Soft, superbly emoted dialogue delivery, a very realistic and highly effective acting, she needs to maintain this hwag lng nyang i-ooverrrr or excessive. She can also restrained act like in “Karma”,pigil, sinampal lang nya si Ronaldo Valdez after the rape scene. Walang masyadong dialogue and movement but then you can feel her pain and anguish.Sabi lng nya ” Ikakasal ako”
2. Nora is more like Jodie Foster or Hernanda (I forget the last name), she is a mexican actress.Very strong performance, di kailangan ang masyadong glamour. Very hard, intense ,restrained, pigil, effective acting. Kung minsan kasi you easily relate to someone who is trying to control herself to cry. Mas dama mo ang anguish kesa duon sa umiiyak ng todo-todo na akala mo mahihimatay. Pero in some remote cases kailangan din syempre yung para kang ginunawan ng mundo na talagang papalahaw ka sa iyak but you have to justify it why pumalahaw ka ng iyak, siguro in the beginning restrained, then restrained again then di mu na makayanan then palahaw.
