Roces was the wife of Fernando Poe Jr., another prominent actor who died in 2004. Grace Poe is their only child.

Roces, often known as the “Queen of the Philippine Movies,” rose to prominence in the 1950s as one of the most sought-after leading women in local cinema.

Her most recent role was as ‘Lola Flora’ in the long-running ABS-CBN sitcom “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.

Susan Roces Career

Apart from the riveting action scenes and the thrilling love story of Cardo (Coco Martin) and Alyana (Yassi Pressman), our primetime viewing habit will be incomplete without the sound advice of the morally upright Lola Flora (Susan Roces), which she delivers in nuggets of wisdom and in an endearing tone.

But, before we meet one of the most outstanding and admired characters in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, the seasoned actress has performed more meaningful parts in real life, proving that she’s more than simply a pretty “Face that Refreshes.”

She’s a showbiz icon

Being in the profession for over seven decades and active till her 77 and appreciated today is a difficult achievement to match.

At 80, the award-winning actress has a long list of successful films and television programmes under her belt. She began her acting career in 1952 with the film “Mga Bituin ng Kinabukasan” and has since acted in a slew of films, earning her the moniker “Queen of Philippine Movies.”

She first appeared on television in 2006, when she co-starred with Maricel Soriano and Comedy King Dolphy in the comedy “John En Shirley.”

She’s a loving yet fierce matriarch

Susan was a loving wife to the late Da King Fernando Poe Jr. and a caring mother to their unica hija Senator Grace Poe-Llamanzares before she became everyone’s, Lola Flora.

We’ve watched a mom defend her daughter from criticism many times, especially during recent national elections when her citizenship and birth origin were called into doubt. Moreover, despite the fact that the politician has her own family, she nevertheless takes on the role of mother to her.

We were able to see her tenacity in the midst of the controversial 2004 presidential election when she expressed her dissatisfaction over the suspicious results.

She’s an inspiring woman

Susan is a role model not only for younger actors but also for Filipinos in general. She reaches out to those who are unwell or in need in a humble manner. That was confirmed when she and Grace sent Christmas gift packs to 150 families at the Manila North Cemetery to commemorate FPJ’s 13th death anniversary and to fulfill his promise to the kids before he died to give them gifts. Furthermore, she demonstrates that we may confront tyrants in a benign manner while never losing trust in God.
