What Urban Legend? Vilma Santos Flying Maybe

I consider it an error of heroic (as in Darna!) proportions if Gov. Vilma Santos' life incidents are subjected to probe and labeled as URBAN LEGENDS!

An urban legend, if we want to be strict to its meaning (and we should be, since a universally accepted definition of a word or phrase is the basis for correct word usage), is an apocryphal, secondhand story told as true, plausible enough to be believed, and likely to be framed as a cautionary tale, about some horrific, embarrassing, ironic, or exasperating series of events that has supposedly happened to a real person.

This blogger chose some aspects of Gov. Vilma's history and treated them as if they were apocryphal or cautionary.

Come on!

Anyway, here's part of the post:

And now, PEP probes not only one, but three urban legends about Ate Vi:

1) During the late ‘60s, in an attempt to match her chief rival’s career, she also came out with music records. Critics of hers swear she used a ghost singer or singers for these albums.

(What is so apocryphal or horrific about Ms. Vilma Santos using a ghost singer? Maybe Ate Vi actually used a real ghost as in mamaw.)

2) In her first Darna movie, Lipad Darna Lipad, since she was still in her teens, she refused to don the Darna costume without body stockings. So, the producers had to use a body double for some of the scenes.

(Hmmm, if I understand your article correctly, the producers used a body double. In showbiz lingo: ganun talaga iyan, gamitan!)

3) She had a nose-lift and other work done on her face.

(If THAT is a cautionary tale, then what do you call those works done on Regine V?)
