Though their first two movies together were in 1969, My Darling Eddie and Jukebox King, Vilma was paired then with top recording artist and singing sensation Eddie Peregrina. Young Love, which was extended due to public clamor during its theater run, saw the birth of Vilma- Edgar love team. They starred in 14 more movies in 1970 and all did well in the box-office--- The Young Idols, Songs and Lovers, Sweethearts, Sixteen, Love Letters, Love is for the Two of Us, Mga Batang Bangketa, My Pledge of Love, Renee Rose, Baby Vi, Because You Are Mine, Edgar Loves Vilma, From the Bottom of my Heart, I Love you Honey. Vilma and Edgar became real-life sweethearts and their screen tandem extended up to several more years.

    Hi there! I came across your site in my search for my father's movie. He played the role of the young edgar mortiz in renee rose and another movie Im not so sure of the title but it's like Dulce Corazon (is there such a movie?) I would just like to ask if you have copies of this movies and how much do we need to pay if we want a copy? He's screen name is Dino Festin. The whole family really wants to see these movies and I would really appreciate it if you can help me out. ( I just hope and pray that the price is not that difficult in the pockt) Thanks and I am looking forward visiting your store. :) Con Festin

    I am a fan of your blog about old Filipino movies.
    It has now become my source of information.

    We were assigned to study a list of old Filipino movies and I studied some information of your blog. :)
