In 1970, the Vilma Santos- Edgar Mortiz love team was launched in Young Love. Young Love was the only movie uniting the two popular love teams [Nora-Tirso or Guy and Pip and Vilma-Edgar or Vi and Bot] of the 70s. Though their first two movies together were in 1969, My Darling Eddie and Jukebox King, Vilma was paired then with top recording artist and singing sensation Eddie Peregrina. Young Love, which was extended due to public clamor during its theater run, saw the birth of Vilma- Edgar love team. They starred in 14 more movies in 1970 and all did well in the box-office--- The Young Idols, Songs and Lovers, Sweethearts, Sixteen, Love Letters, Love is for the Two of Us, Mga Batang Bangketa, My Pledge of Love, Renee Rose, Baby Vi, Because You Are Mine, Edgar Loves Vilma, From the Bottom of my Heart, I Love you Honey. Vilma and Edgar became real-life sweethearts and their screen tandem extended up to several more years. (Video 48)
