SISA (1951)

The classic Gerardo de Leon film Sisa gave viewers a different perspective of the Noli Me Tangere character created by Jose Rizal.

The titular character, who goes crazy looking for her children Crispin and Basilio, was portrayed by Linda who transformed the character into someone moviegoers felt sorrow and melancholy for instead of being seen as a laughing stock.

The role earned Linda the distinguished Maria Clara award for Best Actress. The award-giving body preceded the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Award, which would become the oldest existing award-giving body in the Philippine film industry.

TATLO, DALAWA, ISA (1974)

In this three-part film by acclaimed director Lino Brocka, Linda played Lucia in the second story titled Hellow, Soldier.

It shows the compassionate story of a mother and a daughter (Hilda Koronel) living in the slums and the return of the former’s American soldier lover returning for the first time in 17 years since they parted ways in World War II.

The soldier’s return marks his formal adoption to their daughter, Gina, who dreams of living the American life and getting out of the world of poverty.

During his lover’s return, Lucia gets drunk for the first time and goes off on him on an anti-American tirade. This performance was well-acclaimed by critics that it earned Linda a FAMAS Award for Best Supporting Actress.

ANG BABAE SA BUBUNGANG LATA (1998)

This Mario O’Hara film saw Linda play a role close to her heart at the time, which is an aging actress, as she was 74-years-old when she did the role.

The movie, based on a play written by Agapito Joaquin in the 1970s, follows a recently-hitched stuntman (Mike Magat) taking his wife (Aya Medel) to a hangout in a cemetery, which they reside, and become closely acquainted with colorful characters such as Ampola (Linda), a billboard painter named Nitoy (Frank Rivera), and his stuntman lover Eric (Renzo Ruiz).

The role of Ampola earned Linda her second Best Supporting Actress trophy in the FAMAS, earning the record of becoming the oldest actress to win an award from the famous award-giving body. She bagged the same award in the Star Awards.

The two grandmothers solicit money to earn for the funeral of the victim grandson and the bail bond of the grandson behind the crime.
