Susan Roces casts her vote in San Juan

MANILA, Philippines - Actress Susan Roces is one of the earliest voters at Xavier School in San Juan, Manila. Roces is the mother of senatorial bet Grace Poe-Llamanzares. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Roces said she had a small problem before she was able to cast her vote. "Ang naging problema kanina after pumila ako sa cluster na sinabi nila where I belong ay mali pala. So kinailangan kong hanapin muli ang aking cluster. Paalala lang po sa mga boboto pakidala niyo ang inyong Comelec-issued ID may photo po niyo yon at precinct number niyo," Roces said. "Ang nangyari sa akin noong nag-call sila for registration sa Comelec sabi nila imi-mail sa akin. Hindi nila minail. Wala kong natanggap. Mahalaga po yon kapag boboto kayo. Mas madali po ang pagboto niyo. However, chineck nila they just followed my family name at na locate naman nila," she added. Roces appealed to all Filipino to use their right to vote. "Mga kababayan mahalaga ang araw na ito. Ito ay karapatan natin. Huwag nating sayangin na humalal tayo ng mga taong alam nating makakapaglingkod sa ating sambayanan. Pumarito na kayo at bumoto at dalhin ang inyong ID na issued by Comelec," Roces said. Roces voted with her family including actress Sheryl Cruz.

Sabi ko nga sa kanya if I can do it, you can do it,” said Roces. Fuentes, for her part, said she is not worried about her comeback because she knows that Roces, who is her good friend in real life, will help her. “I know I can [do this again] dahil iga-guide ako ng kumare ko. Hindi tulad ng iba diyan na jealous sa akin (laughs),” she said. Fuentes also shared the role that she will portray in the series. “As usual, maldita ako dito. Ayaw ko siyang (Roces) awayin sa eksena dahil mabait,” she said. “Muling Buksan ang Puso” is part of ABS-CBN’s 60th anniversary celebration. – from a report by Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News

Susan Roces to star in new ABS-CBN series

MANILA, Philippines -- After the phenomenal success of "Walang Hanggan," Susan Roces announced Saturday that she will do another TV series for ABS-CBN. At the sidelines of an all-star dinner benefit hosted by Regal Films matriarch Lily Monteverde for the senatorial bid of Roces' daughter Grace Poe, the veteran actress said she is excited to do another project which will challenge her acting mettle in her senior years. Roces said the project will be a three-generational drama, which will start filming this summer. She declined to reveal further details about the new show, saying she does not want to preempt the network. Meanwhile, the 71-year-old movie queen said she is in good health and does not need stem cell treatment, which is an in-demand procedure in showbiz. "Harinawa, huwag na! I am in excellent health, at nakakatulong ang trabaho sa pagbanat ng buto," she told ABS-CBN News. Roces' appearance Friday night at her daughter's party marks her more active participation in the elections, which is much more intensive than her late husband's presidential campaign in 2004. She will have once-a-week provincial sorties with Poe. The veteran actress has set stiff conditions, however: no riding in small private planes, no helicopter flights, only big jets. She also specified short land trips and "palengke" tours in the provinces. "'Di siya demanding," Poe said, laughing.
