Lee or Tita Angge or Tita A was a movie fan who became a radio, television and film talent who later went on to become a talent manager and casting director.

 

She was president of the fans club of reel and real-life Philippine showbiz A-listers Fernando Poe Jr and Susan Roces as well as the fan clubs of Ricky Belmonte and Rosemarie Sonora and the popular 60s teen tandem of Edgar Mortiz and Vilma Santos.

It was the late film director Pablo Santiago who gave Tita Angge a break in the movies by casting her as a tourist in the film "Continental Playboy" that starred Helen Gamboa.

She was then taken in as an "extra" at Sampaguita Pictures to play the role of an African woman in the movie "All Over The World" that featured Rosemarie Sonora and Ricky Belmonte.

Tita Angge also had roles in films such as “Way Out in the Country,” “May Tampuhan Pa-minsan-minsan,” “Sitting in the Park,” “Pogi,” “Joaquin,” “Petrang Paminta,” “Servillano Zapata,” “Wrong to Be Born,” among others. — APG, GMA News
