When Mother Lily Monteverde faced the members of the press last night, July 20, she reminisced about the humble beginnings of Regal Films five decades ago.

"I started in 1960, when the dollar rate was one dollar equivalent to two pesos. I bought All Mine to Give for $500," recalls Mother Lily during the presscon held at the Imperial Palace Suites. "Then yung re-issue ng Solomon and Shiva. Ang unang production ng Regal, Kayod sa Araw, Kayod sa Gabi starring Elizabeth Oropesa and Gina Pareño."

Regal also released Japanese movies like Ultraman and Godzilla.

When asked to name the Top 5 films that she produced in the past, the matriarch of Regal enumerated: Relasyon, Broken Marriage, City After Dark, Sister Stella L, and Mano Po 1. Interestingly, three of these movies were topbilled by actress-politician Vilma Santos (Relasyon, Broken Marriage, and Sister Stell L).

Which celebrity brought the most income to her film production outfit? Mother Lily quickly said the name of Maricel Soriano. But when she was asked to specify the celebrity who caused her the most headaches, she declined to give a name. "I can always forgive them," she says about her Regal babies.
