Susan Roces, 80: Iconic in film, low key in charity

Roces’ first film appearance was in the 1952 comedy-drama “Mga Bituin ng Kinabukasan” directed by Jose Nepomuceno.Among her most memorable roles are in the Efren Reyes rom-com “Ang Daigdig Ko’y Ikaw,” where she starred opposite FPJ; Lino Brocka’s “Gumising Ka, Maruja,” Celso Ad Castillo’s “Patayin Mo sa Sindak si Barbara” and “Maligno”; and Joel Lamangan’s “Mano Po.”

“Susan never blew her own horn about the things she did for other people. She helped a lot of charitable institutions; the latest was the Rivers of Living Water . They are raising funds for their elevator. Pempe was surprised because Susan donated a rather hefty amount,” Rodrigo told Inquirer Enterainment on Saturday.

“She and FPJ had been a big help to Mowelfund . Even when FPJ died, Susan’s help had been very substantial,” said Rodrigo, the current Mowelfund chair.More actors whose lives were touched by Roces paid their tribute on social media. In a message addressed to Roces’ daughter, Sen. Grace Poe, Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan said: “It had been a real privilege to have known Tita Swanee and to have shared a wonderful friendship with your family.
