Mila del Sol & Santa Clara

It was a role akin to those she played during her LVN days in the ’30 and ‘40s. Lots of singing and dancing with some romancing.

Mila del Sol topbilled in the 1962 Santa Clarang Pinung-Pino where, garbed in terno, she sang and danced before the image of the saint, noted for her modesty and simplicity. As in pinung-pino.

The movie was inspired by the religious ritual in Obando, Bulacan, where childless couple prayed — accompanied by dancing and singing during a procession — to Santa Clara, imploring her to bless them with a child.   — RKC
