FPJ: RECIPIENT OF GAWAD DIREK 2003/ TV Clip UPLOADED

Here's a rare TV footage of FPJ receiving and delivering an acceptance and thank you speech during the First Gawad Direk held at the AFP Auditorium, August 15, 2003. Thanks to Tina for the copy.

In 2003, The Directors Guild of the Philippines, Inc. (DGPI) held its first Gawad Direk at the AFP Auditorium, with Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon as hosts. It gave tribute to five Filipino filmmakers for their impressive body of works in local cinema. The recipients were National Artist Eddie Romero ("Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon," "Sino'ng Kasiping, Sino'ng Kapiling," "Agila"), Celso Ad. Castillo ("Burlesk Queen," "Pagputi ng Uwak, Pag-itim ng Tagak"), Emmanuel H. Borlaza (for his well-crafted melodramas based on komiks novels like "Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin" and "Bituing Walang Ningning"), Ronwaldo Reyes (the pseudonym of Fernando Poe, Jr. who excelled in the action genre like in "Muslim Magnum .357," "Kapag Puno Na ang Salop"), and the late Luciano B. Carlos (a topnotch comedy director who directed Dolphy hits like "Facifica Falayfay" and "Fefita Fofonggay.")

Dealing what the local movie world later termed as a real “coup” and what the movie beat reporters pinned down as a “scoop,” Ronnie successfully made the first bid for Susan’s initial services as a freelancer. He did it by making a good offer, one of which was an astounding salary hike. The considerably measly fee per picture she formerly received from her home studio (Sampaguita Pictures) was multiplied by several times when Susan starred in FPJ’s “Ang Daigdig Ko’y Ikaw.”

From: Screen Stardom/ 1964

Susan played the role of a heiress who ran away from her father who wanted her to marry someone she didn't like (similar to the storyline of 1934 classic "It Happened One Night"). She jumped off from a yatch where she was being detained, and swam nearby.

 

She was able to hide at the rear of Ronnie's delivery truck while Ronnie and his two buddies, Pablo (Virtuoso) and Dencio (Padilla) were busy doing some repairs on their always troublesome truck. Her presence was finally discovered and their (mis)adventures began.

Troubles began to pop up now and then when they were being pursued by Susan's father henchmen. This was aggravated more of the truck's mechanical troubles.

Ronnie found out her real identity.

ANG DAIGDIG KO’Y IKAW

Music by Tony Maiquez

Lyrics by Levi Celerio

Wala nang ibang ligaya pa sa buhay

Ang daigdig ko’y ikaw kailan pa man

Sana’y iyong dinggin

Ang daigdig ko’y ikaw

Buhay kong madilim

Ikaw lang ang ilaw

Nuong una pa ay aking nabatid

Na ang sulyap mo ay mayroong pagibig

Habang naninimdim lalung nagmamahal

Ang puso kong baliw

Ang langit ay ikaw

Wala nang ibang ligaya pa sa buhay

Ang daigdig ko’y ikaw kailan pa man

Huwag magtataka ang daigdig ko’y ikaw

At kung lilimot ka ako’y mamamatay

Wala nang ibang ligaya pa sa buhay

Ang daigdig ko’y ikaw kailan pa man
