her grand return to the newly renovated Manila Metropolitan Theater in Manila, where she shot her long-running weekly variety show &quot;Vilma&quot; back in the &#x27;80s and &#x27;90s.</p><p>Santos was joined by her &quot;Vilma&quot; co-host Roderick Paulate, choreographer Maribeth Bicharra, and executive producer Chit Guerrero. </p><p>Their visit was featured in Santos&#x27; latest vlog uploaded on Sunday.<br/> <br/>&quot;It’s been 27 years since I’ve been to this special place. Sobrang dami pong happy memories na nangyari sa lugar na ito. And I felt so many emotions when I returned. I can’t help but reminisce the good old days with friends who became family to me,&quot; she wrote in the description of her vlog.</p><p>According to Santos, &quot;Vilma&quot; was the first-ever live variety TV show mounted at the MET. </p><p>&quot;15 years siya na tumakbo. So dito kami sa Metropolitan Theater for 8,9 years,&quot; Santos shared.</p><p>Aside from touring the theater, Santos, Paulate, Bicharra and Guerrero also shared stories about their experiences at the MET.</p><p>Santos recalled how her fans showed their love and support for her during her &quot;Vilma&quot; days.</p><p>&quot;Ganun ko kamahal &#x27;yung mga fan. Parang hindi ko alam kung paano ko susuklian &#x27;yung pagmamahal nila sa akin. Para magtagal ako sa industriya talaga. I just miss my life in showbiz. Nakikita ko silang nahihirapan. Imagine, minsan &#x27;yung iba hindi pa nagla-lunch, nakapila na, you know umaga para makita ka lang. Bumibiyahe, may mga nanggagaling sa mga probinsiya, na dala &#x27;yung bus nila. Hindi kumakain... just to see you. So, every time dumarating &#x27;yung sasakyan ko, talagang malaking bagay na &#x27;yung makamayan ko sila, &#x27;yung makita nila ako nang malapit at mahawakan,” Santos reminisced.</p><p>Santos also added that her son, Luis, also appeared in the show as a young boy.</p><p>&quot;Every time matatapos ang show ko, dito po &#x27;yung &#x27;I love you, Lucky.&#x27; Dito rin nagsayaw si Lucky for the first time,&quot; said Santos referring to her son with former husband Edu Manzano.</p><p>In the vlog, the screen veteran also admitted that she really misses her life in show business.</p><p>&quot;Nandidito na naman lahat &#x27;yung emosyon sa puso ko. Kaya bawat makita ko nagiging sentimental ako parang naiiyak ako palagi. When I see this, when I see you people, I miss this life. Imagine matagal akong wala sa showbiz because of my job as a public servant. Nag-COVID pa, na nakatago ka talaga sa bahay, work from home ako. Maski sa constituents ko sa Lipa, video call ako palagi. So now I am starting to go out. And then ito pa &#x27;yung nararamdaman ko. I&#x27;m with mama Chit, mama Bechay and my friend Dick. Kaya siguro ganito ka-sensitive ang emotion ko at shini-share ko ito sa kanila,&quot; Santos said.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/06/01/21/change-of-name-of-historic-met-theater-causes-uproar-in-arts-community">Change of name of historic Met Theater causes uproar in arts community</a> </li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/06/13/21/ncca-manila-metropolitan-theater-cultural-treasure">NCCA risks lawsuits with change of name of Manila Metropolitan Theater</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/12/10/17/look-a-peek-into-metropolitan-theaters-restoration">LOOK: A peek into Metropolitan Theater&#x27;s restoration</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/ancx/culture/spotlight/01/12/21/25-years-after-shutdown-the-metropolitan-theater-is-reopeningheres-what-we-can-expect">25 years after shutdown, the Metropolitan Theater is reopening—here’s what we can expect</a></li></ul><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1986789" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
