VILMA SANTOS & EDGAR MORTIZ
The love team of Vilma and Edgar started in a TV show entitled The Sensation, says an article by Tito Mads, "Santos Manages to Stay On Top." The pair became a twosome, on and off the small screen. Although producers attempted to pair Bobot, the popular name of Edgar, with Nora Aunor, the public still clamored for Vi and Bobot.
Vi and Bot’s love team was dubbed “Subok na Matibay, Subok na Matatag” by their fans. They appeared in 30-plus successful movies in less than five years-a record in Philippine showbiz for a love team. Some of their box-office hits were: Love is the Two of Us (1970), Edgar Loves Vilma (1970), My Pledge of Love (1970), Vilma My Darling (1970), Renee Rose (1970), The Sensations (1971), Our Love Affair (1971), Dulce Corazon (1972), Now and Forever (1973), Biktima (1974), Kampanerang Kuba (1974), Karugtong ng Kahapon (1975).
