Santa Santita (released internationally as Magdalena, The Unholy Saint) is a 2004 Filipino film directed by Laurice Guillen. The film stars Angelica Panganiban and Jericho Rosales. It follows Malen, the daughter of an intercessor, her love affair with a hustler and gigolo, and her confrontation of the evil within her life.
Based on a script by Jerry Gracio, the film was picked up by Guillen in 2000, but did not start production because an appropriate actress for Malen could not be found. After picking Panganiban, Guillen began work, and the eventual film was released in the Philippines on November 17, 2004 and internationally on March 11, 2005. Receiving good reviews from Variety and the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Santa Santita was one of only two films to be rated as Grade A by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines, and represented the Philippines at the Asiaticafilmediale festival in Italy and the Bangkok International Film Festival.
