IPINAKIKILALA: "JULIO MADIAGA"

“Siya ang lalaking karaniwang matatagpuan sa probinsiya: sunog ang balat sa araw, maitim ang buhok, hindi maganda ngunit hindi naman masagwa, malaki ang kaha, malakas ang mga braso, magaspang ang mga palad. Siya si JULIO MADIAGA. Matatagpuan siya sa lunsod, nabubuhay sa burak na katotohanan ng Maynila.”

"Sa bawa’t latay kahit aso’y nag-iiba.
Sa unang latay siya’y magtataka.
Sa ikalawa, siya'y mag-iisip.
Sa ikatlo, siya’y magtatanda.
Sa ika-apat, humanda ka!
"

Gagampanan ni Rafael ‘Bembol’ Roco, Jr. ang papel na Julio Madiaga sa pelikulang “Maynila Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag” ni director Lino Brocka.



Young Rafael “Bembol” Roco, Jr was a facilitator at a drug rehabilitation center (DARE) when Director Lino Brocka spotted him in 1974. Brocka was filming an episode in the movie he was currently doing, Tatlo, Dalawa, Isa. Bembol had undergone treatment at the center being a drug user. He was offered a role. The young man, serious and intense, accepted the challenge. An actor was born. Bembol soon replaced Jay Ilagan in Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag (1975), listed as one of the 100 best films in the world, for which he won the Famas Best Actor Award.
