FPJ COLLECTION--- A RARE 1955 "ANAK NI PALARIS" MOVIE ADVERTISEMENT

Being a big fan, this is worth owning.

In his video post, collector Jhen Macalinao shared his collection of FPJ memorabilia. One of the items is an extremely rare 1955 double-page spread magaziine movie adverisement of "Anak ni Palaris," FPJ's first movie.

Did you know that for his first movie role, Poe, only 15, got a thousand bucks and top billing with Rosita Noble. Unfortunately, the picture proved disappointing. “One thing I know, it didn’t make money,” Poe once recalled.
