TWO VERSIONS OF "PEPENG KALIWETE"

FPJ did two versions of Pepeng Kaliwete. The first one in 1958 when he was only nineteen years old while under contract with Premiere Productions. It was one of FPJ's earlier action movies before his landmark movie, Markado, which he made two years later. This was the start of the young actor's climb as the country's top action and box-office star. The second version was in 1982.
