PUGO IN "ANG TATAY KONG KALBO" (1963)

I was a bit surprised to see this 1963 black-and-white movie, Ang Tatay Kong Kalbo on TV-cable Cinema One several months back. Popular TV host-comedian Pepe Pimentel, of Kuwarto O Kahon fame, was one of the lead stars who played one of the sons of legendary comic Pugo. Pepe played the role of a bumbling boxer trained by his father Pugo, who happened to have a formulated lotion, the smell of which would make their opponents groggy. Several named stars appeared in cameo roles, including boxing legend Gabriel 'Flash' Elorde.
