"STARS OF THE 60s" PLEDGE SOLID SUPPORTS FOR ANSON-ROA
April 2, 2004
The "Stars of the '60s" got together the other day to agree
on a common objective of campaigning actively for KNP presidential
candidate Fernando Poe Jr. and KNP senatorial bet Boots Anson-Roa.
Former President Joseph Estrada himself expressed oneness
with the group in a message via a phone patch.
Among those present during the gathering were Susan Roces,
Amalia Fuentes, Pilita Corrales, Robert Arevalo, Barbara Perez, Eddie
Gutierrez, Annabel Rama and Pete Roa.
Over 200 celebrities showed up at the affair, which was
enlivened with entertainment numbers by Pilita, Willie Nepomuceno,
Ariel Ureta, Dingding Avanzado, Chiqui Roa, Robbie Puno and Ricky Davao.
"Perhaps, we will feel sad over the prospect of losing Boots
in the industry with our solid support for her victory in the senatorial
poll. But we know she will be playing a greater role for the people as a
senator," said Estrada in his phone message.
Anson-Roa, a multi-awarded actress, had served as executive
director of Mowelfund, a welfare organization of the entertainment
industry, and as president of IBC-13 during Estrada's administration.
The former president believed the KNP senatorial bet will
make it to the "magic 12" in the senatorial election not only because
she is a popular and talented actress but also because of public
admiration for her person and full potentials as a senator.
"We are all behind you and we will pray for your success in
your bid for a Senate seat," Estrada told Anson-Roa.
