In addition to the Fiat Car which she has already received from Weekly NATION, Tagumpay and Movie Confidential, Miss Susan Roces received another coveted prize: a house and lot in Marikina, above the cool, sweeping Marikina Valley. Miss Roces announced that her fans are invited to join her at the house.
The house and lot are part of the over P200,000.00 valuable prizes which the Makabayan Publishing Corporation gave away at the conclusion of the Miss Philippines Movies contest of 1967. Susan won the top prize.

Susan's fans have started to visit the house and to rest, on Susan's invitation. It was her fans that worked to make Susan win the top prize in the contest and feels indebted to them.
