Let's play a game.. I have five names who changed their names when they started showbiz. On my next post, his/her screen name will be displayed. Anyway, here is trivia #1:
Among the several sons of well-to-do families, I was one of those who were drawn to the movies after World War II. I was persuaded by a friend named Wilfredo Ma. Guerrero to play the male lead in Wanted: A Chaperone. After that, I was convinced by my friend to audition in LVN pictures and start a career in showbiz. At first Dona Narcisa De leon a.k.a. Dona Sisang wasn't interested in me because I did not have that what we call, 'X-factor'. But later on, I got the call and did supporting roles until I became a full-fledged actor.
I have done roles such as Kapitan Kidlat (1953), Tiya Loleng (1953) with Ms. Tessie Quintana and other movies under LVN. I was married to the first Camay soap model Francisca Roces with whom I had seven daughters and a son and 28 grandchildren. Two of these are my grandsons, Bernard Palanca and Miko Palanca and one of my granddaughters, Bianca Araneta.
I have also appeared later on in movies such as Eskapo (1995) as Eugenio Lopez Sr. and Yamashita: The Tiger's Treasure (2001). Now, I am 82 years old, fit and active as I go to the gym twice a week.
Who am I?
