Facifica Falayfay (1969)- One of Dolphy's best gay movies/ Stars Dolphy, Pilar Pilapil, Panchito and Rod Navarro/ Directed by Luciano B. Carlos
Starting way, way back at the very beginning, Dolphy was first noticed by moviegoers in 1953 in Sa Isang Sulyap Mo, Tita, starring the then popular love team of Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran. Dolphy was also featured in 1954’s “answer” to the “Tita” movie, Sa Isang Halik Mo, Pancho.
That early, Dolphy was clearly on his way, because in 1954, he acted in five other films, the most significant of which was Jack en Jill, where he played the “male” (gay) lead, opposite Lolita Rodriguez in a tomboyish role.
Dolphy’s first lead performance clicked with moviegoers, and set the pattern for quite a number of his subsequent starrers in the 60s in such movies as Susanang Daldal, Pepe en Pilar and Facifica Falayfay, where he also played flamboyant crossdressers.
Thus did Dolphy prove anew that gay can become gold at the box office. But, he didn’t rest on his sequined laurels. Quite smartly, he realized that the way to a long and stellar career was in not being typecast in gay roles—no matter how popular they were. He did spoofs on James Bond and other hit
In 1978, Dolphy, in a rare dramatic role, delivered a tour de force performance as Coring, a gay beautician, in this unforgettable Lino Brocka movie, Ang Tatay Kong Nanay. In 2000, he put his advanced age to good advantage by playing the tragi-comic title character in Markova, Comfort Gay.

Simon, meron ka ba kopya ng Kangkarot? Gusto ko ulit mapanood ito kasi natatandaan ko, gumugulong ako sa katatawa at sumakit ang tiyan ko kay Dolphy dito, lalo na yung eksenang nagkunwari siyang manikin tapos merong bubuwit na pumasok sa loob ng damit niya, grabe talaga, halos magiba yung sinehan sa Del Monte nung pinanood ko ito.
Hi James r! Sorry, wala tayong kopya na Kangkarot. Sayang!, one of Dolphy's best. Napansin ko may mga mga vivid memories ka sa mga movies na napapanood mo. Hope you can share some more. Thanks for the visit!
Merong mga eksena kasing tumatatak talaga sa isipan natin sa mga napapanood nating pelikula, tulad nung sa Facifica Falayfay, nang magsuot si Dolphy ng see-thru na damit made of plastic, tapos nakabikini lang siyang panloob, pati yung payong niya, see-thru din. Kaya nga bawat postings mo dito sa website mo ay talagang inaabangan namin dahil bumabalik yung mga memories. (Ibig sabihin di pa napi-feel yung pagtanda! he-he-he!).

okay thank you. I'll just have to call them first. :)
HI! :) I was wondering if you could recommend any academic citation as to the chronological order of these gay films. I've been meaning to credibly quote that Jack n Jill was the first Gay film in the Philippines.
