POST-WAR TAGALOG MOVIES # 87: CARMEN ROSALES AND ROGELIO DE LA ROSA IN "KAMPANANG GINTO" (1949)

Kampanang Ginto was a triumph for Carmen Rosales who was earlier refused a screen test at LVN. She became a star in Sampaguita Pictures where she had a feud with Rogelio de la Rosa. She refused to speak with him for many years, during which he had become an LVN star. She agreed to make this film for LVN with Rogelio de la Rosa for a fee that made her the highest paid movie actress at that time. She turned in a shining performance and went on to make other films with the actor. (Source: Dona Sisang Filipino Movies)

  2. What about this Carmen-Rogelio feud? I have heard about it a number of times but no one seems to know what it was all about. Any info on what kept them on non-speaking terms for so long? :)

  3. I think it has something to do with the issue regarding their talent fees. Carmen Rosales found out that Rogelio dela Rosa's talent fee was higher than hers and so she demanded to have her TF raised. I believe it was mentioned in the book "Ang Tang Kong Pag-Ibig: A Tribute to Movie Queen Carmen Rosales". Will check the portion of the book regarding this matter. :)
