MANILA, Philippines — Veteran actress and "Star for All Seasons" Vilma Santos-Recto received a nomination to be part of the next batch of National Artist recipients.
The deadline for nominations for National Artist is set for the end of the month, but the list of nominees will not be announced to the public. The winners, however, would be announced.

Vilma previously called the National Artist award bestowed on her fellow actress Nora Aunor was "the highest" honor an artist could receive.
"Alam mo, if it's meant for you, it's meant for you," Vilma also said when asked if she also wants to be hailed a National Artist as well.
"'Pag hindi napunta sa'yo, it's not meant for you. So d'un sa mga nabigyan, it's meant for them, like 'yung kay Ate Guy. So kung meron akong space d'yan, darating 'yung panahon na 'yun, para sa akin na 'yun."
Ate Vi also told Philstar.com last year she was willing to work with Nora again, given the right material, "If we can offer something new and something different, why not? Lalo na sa edad namin ngayon, 'di ba?"
