  2. Ibong Adarna was first shown on October 17-28, 1941, and Pearl Harbor was attacked on 7 December 1941, you just use your common sense... if you have one.

  4. Minsan tumitingin ako ng mga libro sa may NBS Harrison Plaza, at may nakita akong isa na may kinalaman kay Vicente Salumbides (nakalimutan ko na po yung title). Mabilisan lang po yung pagtingin ko dun, at evident namang filmmaker siya. Pero hindi lang po talaga pamilyar ang pangalan niya... Tapos, nakita ko po itong blogpost na ito, dun ko na lang nalamang iisa lang pala si Vicente Salumbides at Manuel Conde.
