RIP, FPJ

Fernando Poe Jr., Da King of Philippine movies is dead.

He died last monday of the stroke that sent him to coma since Saturday. He had a career that lasted 50+ years, and is considered to be one of the greatest of Filipino actors. He was so popular that he attempted a bid a presidency and nearly won.

I don't fancy much his films, except Intramuros, but his demise is a big loss to the Filipino movie industry.

Requiescat in Pace, FPJ.

Etchie, have you seen Asedillo? I thought that was pretty good, worth remembering him for. Maybe Aguila, but I need to see that again. And I'd love to see Santiago.
