MANILA – “Ang Babaeng Humayo,” which stars ABS-CBN chief content officer Charo Santos, won the top prize at the 73rd Venice Film Festival held in Italy over the weekend.

The Lav Diaz film marks Santos’s acting comeback after nearly two decades.

Younger Filipinos probably know Santos as the former president of ABS-CBN (she retired in 2015 upon turning 60) and the host of the long-running drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”

Before joining the corporate world, she is an acclaimed actress who has worked with some of the country’s best filmmakers like Lino Brocka, Mike De Leon, Eddie Romero and Marilou Diaz-Abaya.

Let us take a look back at some of her most memorable big screen projects.
