Susan Roces, Pumanaw na sa Edad na 80!

Pumanåw na ang Philippine film icon na si Susan Roces, na ang karera ay tumagal ng 70 taon at nanatiling aktibo hanggang kamakailan. Siya ay 80-anyos. Si Roces, na magiging 81 na sana ngayong Hulyo 28, ay nam@tay ngayong Biyernes ng gabi matapos kumpirmahin ng kanyang anak na si Sen. Grace Poe sa isang pahayag.

"With great sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved Jesusa Sonora Poe, whom many of you know as Susan Roces. She passed away peacefully on a Friday evening, May 20, 2022, surrounded by love and warmth, with her daughter Grace, her nephews Joseph and Jeffrey and many of her family and close friends.

"She lived life fully and gracefully. Remember her in her beauty, warmth and kindess. She is now with the Lord and her beloved Ronnie — FPJ. We will miss her sorely but we celebrate a life well lived. Susan Roces — daughter, mother, grandmother, a true Filipina and a national treasure," ani ni Grace Poe.

Nabiyuda si Roces matapos pumånaw ang kanyang asawa at kasamahang screen veteran na si Fernando Poe, Jr. (FPJ) noong 2004. Ang incumbent na senador ay ang kanilang nag-iisang anak na babae.

Tinaguriang "Queen of Philippines Movies," sumikat si Roces noong dekada '50 at naging nangungunang leading lady ng lokal na sinehan.

Bilang isang beterano sa screen, nanatili siyang nakikita sa screen, pinakahuli bilang ang pinakamamahal na Lola Flora sa long-running primetime series na "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano."
