WARNING: "ANG MANGLILIGPIT" (1968) IS INCOMPLETE

This is to warn buyers that the newly released original VCD of the 1968 FPJ starrer, Ang Mangliligpit, which should be a two-hour movie" runs only for 57 minutes. The public is cheated of their hard-earned money knowing that the movie is complete and uncut. I myself was duped to buying it. The vcds must be recalled from the market immediately and the money returned and reimbursed.

Authorities concerned must do something to ensure the consuming public that such incident will never happen again.

FPJ IN HIS TURBULENT TEEN YEARS: HIS SIDE OF THE STORY

Fernando Poe, Jr. was barely 17 years old when he was launched to full stardom in 1956 as one of the members of the popular youth gang in Larry Santiago Productions’ Lo’ Waist Gang. The movie was such a huge hit that his popularity zoomed by leaps and bounds. He soon portrayed so many tough guy roles in his succeeding movies. Because of such roles he got himself into lots of troubles and oftentimes branded as the troublemaker. Most of the incidents he was involved in were lies and distorted. He became the target of bad publicity and he was deeply hurt. In reaction to the negative criticisms and comments hurled against him, the article below was published to tell “His Side of the Story.”

NAME THE MOVIE?

I got hold of this movie still. Sexpot Alona Alegre pointing a gun on the head of bandit's leader Max Alvarado. It's definitely a scene from a FPJ movie. The question: Is it from Santo Domingo (1972) or Esteban (1973)? I don't want to make an error again the one I did in my last post. Sorry for that.

MOVIE STILL FROM "AGILA NG MAYNILA" (1988)

Oppressed and humiliated, now its FPJ's turn to retaliate and the end is near for perennial villain, Paquito Diaz in this explosive scene from the 1988 movie, "Agila ng Maynila."
