100 Years of Cinema in the Philippines
June 17-23, 1998
(Souvenir Program)

  

Movies of Ms Charito Solis like Manila by Night (City After Dark), Batch '81 and Malvarosa were included in the festival. Other memorable movies like El Filibusterismo, Rose Tattoo Ng Buhay Ko, P10,000 Pag-ibig, Kisapmata, Juan Tamad Goes to Society and Walang Sugat were also featured in the souvenir program.

Trivia - Malvarosa (1958)

Malvarosa (1958)

Nine years before Ms Charito Solis won her Asian Film Festival Award as Best Actress in 1967, she had already been up for best actress at the 1958 Asian Film Festival held in Kuala Lumpur. At that time, Malvarosa, produce d by her home studio, LVN, was a Philippine entry, and Charito lost by a half point to Hong Kong actress, Lin Dai.
Movies entered in the Asian Film festival are disqualified from the FAMAS derby especially when they are winners. If they were not, Charito could have won her first FAMAS Best Actress Award in 1958.
Fortunately, the two succeeding years were banner ones for Charito. In 1959, she got her first FAMAS Best Actress Award for her fine performance in Bert Avellana's classic Kundiman ng Lahi. And in 1960, Charito won her second FAMAS for her tour de force acting in Emily under the tutelage of Gregorio Fernandez, the same megman who directed her in Malvarosa.
