Veteran actress Boots Anson-Roa Rodrigo, long admired for her work since debuting under Sampaguita Pictures in 1968, has earned equal recognition for her unwavering dedication to the welfare of the Philippine movie industry's unsung heroes.
For nearly two decades, Rodrigo has been serving as president of the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation (Mowelfund), a non-profit organization that provides health benefits and educational opportunities for marginalized workers in the entertainment industry.
