FPJ'S EARLY MOVIE ADS: HIGHLIGHTS

On and off camera, Fernando Poe, Jr. is known simply as Da King, a title he rightfully deserves. As an icon and living legend in movie industry, he ruled the local movie scene for five decades until his untimely death on December 14, 2004. He was proclaimed National Artist for Film. As a tribute to my idol, I want to share in this blog some of his selected movie ads which I compiled thru the years. Enjoy them!



"Anak ni Palaris" (1955) - His First Movie

"Lo' Waist Gang" (1956) - Poe's First Taste of Fame and Stardom



"Kamay ni Cain" (1957) - His First Nominated Film for Best Supporting Actor. He played villain to lead actor, Zaldy Zshornack. His first with Director Gerardo (Gerry) de Leon.


"Pepeng Kaliwete" (1958) and "Laban sa Lahat" (1958) started his colorful career as an action star.


"Tough Guy" (1959) - His Biggest Break



"Markado" (1960) - Established him as the country's Top Action
and Box-office star.



"Apollo Robles" (1961) and "Ako ang Katarungan" (1962), both directed by Gerry de Leon
