Hey, guys --- si Ronnie Nathaliesz ba e also the sri lankan actor sajid khan?

===================================================

 

Nope, magkaiba sila. I think Sajid is older than Ronnie. Pero pareho silang Sri Lankan, Ronnie being a converted filipino citizen by virtue of a presidential decree.

After Arsenio (aka "Arsenic") Lacson, was it Antonio (Yeba) Villegas who took over as Manila Mayor? I recall his Yeba 1 and Yeba 2 fire-fighting boats docked at Pasig River right at the back of what was once PLDT bldg. in Intramuros. Dumi ng Maynila during his reign as Mayor.

Thanks for the info, bro. Kasi, if I'm not mistaken, in one TV appearance in the early 80's, I think Ronnie N. jokingly alluded to himself as being sajid khan. But I think sajid khan visited the Philippines at one point in the late 60's.

Pilar Pilapil was the girlfriend of Dolphy shortly after winning Ms. Philippines in 1967...her romance with Dolphy was shortlived..then after, Doy Laurel came into the picture...as everybody knows..and sired a daughter named Pia.

 

The romance between Dolphy and Pilar Pilapil started on the set of El Pinoy Matador, a movie shot entirely in Spain. One of the biggest box office hit of the decade.

Yeah, one of the best. I remember my mom and I watched the movie after view the moon rock exhibit (rock was shown at a Science fair sa Pasay taft - ang haba ng pila just to see a glimpse of that small piece of rock which became a celebrity that year). I also purchased a 34 rpm record of the song sang by Panchito in the said movie. I think it was shot in Spain. Nahuli pa daw si Pidol kasi naglalaba sa kalye (shooting a scene).

Villegas - a poor man from Tondo daw then when he became mayor biglang natira sa Forbes Park! It was during his administration that the Quiapo "freeway" (the one in front of Roman Super Cinerama then) was constructed. I was studying then sa Quiapo Parochial School, ang hirap sumakay. parating puno ang jeepneys dahil sa tapat pa lang ng old Life theater, naghahabulan na mga passengers. I have to make "round trip" pa from Quiapo to Pier then back to Quiapo papunta sa Dapitan. Super trapik nuon. Imagine from Quiapo straight to Dapitan (near Albert Elementary School), it took us around 2 hours dahil nga sa construction. Re routing pa. That was the first time I got a glimpse of the steel church - San Sebastian.

Sajid visited the country late 60s and early 70s. He was paired with Nora Aunor. Alam mo naman, hit na hit si La Onor nuon. There movie was "The Singing Filipina"

It was rumored then that he was either a pedophile or a gay.

The fiesty Labor Leader, Roberto Oca, during his campaign for the Manila mayoralty vs. Villegas challenged the incumbent at a fist fight at Plaza Miranda mano-a-mano. Villegas laughed at ang ignored Oca who eventually lost the election. :upside:

Yeah, nakakatakot hahaha. ang dami na sigurong nasirang la mesa nuon sa kababagsak ng kamao. He was a nationalistic freak. There was this proposal of his na palitan ang mga bus and jeepneys ng "karitela bus" para daw walang pollution. Yung dumi ng kabayo puwede daw kunin pang fertilizer. Prophetic comments. Patay na siya, no? May mga gumagaya pero hindi na sumikat.
