"Ligaw na Bulaklak" (1976)- Alma's first starring role- Stars Alma Moreno, Vic Silayan, Marissa Delgado, Yvonne, Charina Alonzo, Anita Linda and Jun Mariano/ Directed by Ishmael Bernal

Alma Moreno is a popular movie and television personality in the late 70s and 80s. She was born Venesa Lacsamana on May 25, 1959 in Cervantes, Ilocos Sur to Frank Lacsamana and Jean Moreno, a couple who lived a simple, yet noble life.

She appeared in her first movie as a dama in Urduja with Amalia Fuentes. Her first starring role was Ligaw na Bulaklak with Vic Silayan, which launched her to full stardom. The 1976 film was directed by Philippine National Artist Ishmael Bernal.

From then on until the late '80s, Alma starred in a number of skin flicks that were big hits at the box-office. Thus, Moreno reigned as the "Sex Goddess of Philippine Movies" in the '70s and '80s.

Bernal also directed her in one of the best Filipino films of all time, City After Dark (1981).

  1. i just wonder why 'LARUANG APOY' is not included in Alma Moreno's filmography? she did a good job in a dual role as vic vargas' other woman & their daughter.

  7. I believe she was once the reigning Bold Queen of her time.Adding a face of innocence' in her makes her one of The Most Beautiful Actresses of Phil.Cinema.She must have been a great actress too.Sana binigyan lang sya ng chance.I actually saw her film Mrs.Eva Fonda 16 at dun sa breakdown scene nya mag isa sa theater stage...Ang Galing-galing nya dun!She shoud've won an acting trophy for that scene.Siguro hindi lang talaga sys lucky sa mga acting trophies..Anyway,I'm really happy for her new achievement sa a Public Servant(Councilor)of Paranaque City.I wish her more power!Goodluck Ms.Alma and always stay Beautiful!!!

  8. No offense meant to Ms.Lorna Tolentino.I really admire her too.She is one of the best Actresses this country has today!But the fact is between the 70's and the 80's it was really Alma Moreno who reigned stardom!REal Score yan.Lorna on the other hand really gained talents and later on emerged as a very good actress.Alma prceeded to become a public servant.And i love them both for that!Both Actresses are dear to me as i was looking forward growing up with such love ly Actresses.I think i've said enough.Goodluck to both of them.Beauty is Timeless.'
