At 74, no one can stop Susan Roces from working. Currently, she is playing Lola Kap in ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano.

The one-time queen of Philippine movie said she enjoys working with younger actors, like Coco Martin who is currently the toast of the town.

“I am happy na nakakapag-interact ako sa kapwa artist ako. Nakakasama ko rin ang mga baguhan, mga bata, so I get updated.” Susan said in Iloilo when she went with her daughter in her campaign sortie on Feb. 6.

“Ang nilalabasan ko senior citizen na rin ang character kagaya ng Ang Probinsiyano, si Lola Kap ako ni Ador at Ricardo,” Susan added.

It jives well with her advocacy for senior citizens like her that she’d like her daughter Grace to espouse if she would be elected and become the next president.

Susan said that the elderly must have something to earn their keep.“Huwag mag-give up, tuluy-tuloy kung nagtatrabaho ka tulad ng larangan namin bilang artista, patuloy akong tumantanggap ng trabaho… Hindi naman ako nagpapakapagod, I continue to be useful I keep healthy in that way and I am happy that way.” 

Grace says she’s like her mom to stay home and rest, but Susan insists on working and become productive. “Ang sabi sa akin ng nanay ko, alam mo kahit na nagkaka-edad na kami gusto pa rin namin maging produktibo. Gusto pa rin namin na kahit sa mga community centers, kahit na sa mga munisipyo, kahit mga taga-bati o kaya mayroong mga office work na kaya naming.”

She feels sad when she hears stories about elderly who are trying to keep both ends meet with the small amount of the monthly pension they each receive.

Gloc 9 ditty inspires Grace Poe

Kapamilya actor Coco Martin

Gloc 9’s “Upuan” inspires Senator Grace Poe. The presidential aspirant mentioned that in Cagayan De Oro City.

The song, she said, reminds her of her being a public servant. She might be the newest in Philippine politics compared with her opponents but she sees this as an advantage because she knows what the Filipinos feel.

“Talagang hindi ko pinagkakaila, sa lahat sa kanila, ako ang pinakabago rito. Pero sa ating mga kabataan, alam kong alam ninyo ang kanta ni Gloc 9. ‘Kayong nakaupo, subukan n’yonamang tumayo para maramdaman ninyo ang aming kalagayan, ang kinalalagyan ko,’” Grace said while quoting from the song’s lyric.

“Sa tinginko, sa lahat sa kanila, ako nga ang pinaka maikli ang karanasan. Pero ang nakikita ko bilang isang nanay ay ang pangangailangan ng isang pamilya,” added the senator.

According to Grace, in the short period of her being in the government service, she was able to accomplish a lot, foremost of which is the investigation she did in graft and corruption and in pushing the Freedom of Information act, and seeking for enough funds for farmers and the nutrition of children.

“Para sa akin, ang aking karanasan bilang isang teacher bagamat minamaliit ng iba, hindi po tayo makakarating sa puntong ito kung hindi dahil sa isang guro na nagmalasakit at nagturo sa atin kung ano ang tama at mali at kung anong naaayon para sa ating mga paksa,” Grace said.

“Pare-pareho lang naman ang problema ng Pilipinas eh, pare-parehong nandyan. Wala pong proof na kapag matagal ka na sa pwesto mas magaling ka,” she concluded.
