10. Pugo and Togo were a Filipino comedy team in Philippine movies during the 1940s up to 1950s. Composed of Mariano Contreras (1898–1978) and Andres Solomon (1905 – November 3, 1952), their brand of humor consisted of short skits, slapstick, and funny dialogues presented in Manila's theaters, most particularly Clover Theater and Avenue Theater. Mariano Contreras starred as Pugo, while Solomon portrayed Togo. They were both bald headed.

9. Palito (September 4, 1934 – April 12, 2010) was a veteran Filipino slapstick comedian and actor who was at the height of his career in the 1970s and 80s. He was well known for his unusually light and thin anatomy, thus earning him the self-deprecating screenname Palito, which is Spanish for stick, understood in Filipino as matchstick or toothpick.

8. Panchito Alba (born Alfonso D. Tagle, Sr.; February 25, 1925 – December 18, 1995) was a FAMAS award-winning Filipino film actor who almost exclusively appeared in comedy roles. He was billed as either "Panchito Alba" or simply "Panchito". Known for his swarthy looks and a prominent big nose, which was often the target of ridicule. Panchito frequently appeared as a comedic foil to Dolphy, where the two are best friends in real life.

7. Jimmy Santos (born Jaimy R. Santos,. October 8 1950) in Pateros, Manila is a former Basketball Player and currently one of the host of a noon time show called Eat Bulaga. He was very famous on his movie Bonjing, a huge Baby with a body of an adult.

    “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle” is a film unlike any I’ve ever seen. Not because it involved to successful “pot heads”, not because it their journey to a White Castle restaurant took an entire night to get to (although that is part of it), or even because it starred Neil Patrick Harris as a complete drug addict looking for the next party. It was because it starred two stars--previously only known for portraying characters based on their ethnicity-- in the leading role. Actors John Cho and Kal Penn had their biggest acting breaks before “Harold and Kumar” as “that Asian guy from American Pie” and “that Indian guy from Van Wilder”, where they both played the “typical Asian/ Indian” stereotype. Writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg wrote Harold and Kumar to be your typical everyday kind of guy, excluding of course the fact that they smoke a lot of pot. While Hurwitz and…

    There is plenty scholarly discussion about whether the central character, the barmaid, seems to be “anguished and disenchanted” or “calm and cool.” With the barmaid’s supposed thoughts and feelings often overemphasized, modern interpretation of A Bar at the Folies Bergere is too exaggerated. Although appearing quite passive, the painting depicts the barmaid with a subtle depressed nature.…

    This was evident when his children in the show would associate with children who were White (Stanley, 2012). The Cosby Show presents a healthy model for how people of different races should interact. However, despite these positive attributes given to Blacks by the Cosby show, there was still no mention of interracial marriage. All of the Black character’s mates were of the same race. This is most likely due to the time that this television show was aired, (1984-1992). During this time interracial marriage on television was not prominent (Stanley, 2012; Galician, 2004). Over the decades, there has been definite progress in incorporation of ethnically diverse characters (House of Payne, The Cleveland Show, Black Dynamite etc.) However, there is still very little media that promotes interracial marriage. Recently, Cheerios sponsored an advertisement that featured a White woman who is married to a Black man and they have a mixed race daughter (Goyett, 2013). The reactions from both White and Black individuals was negative. This provides evidence that the United States is still perturbed by the sight of interracial marriage. Television as well as advertisement is somewhat limited to what they can display. Film however, generally is given more leeway to portray controversial subject…

    He came to the Philippines at the young age of 12, and worked in his father’s small sari-sari store more than 12 hours everyday to help him. It was located on Echague St., which is now Carlos Palanca Sr. St. in Quiapo, Manila. There, he devised ways to increase his income by developing small portions of products – much like the sachets we see today in the supermarkets. He was able to make multiple sales in order to make extra income, spending so much time in the store that he had no time to go out and play with friends in the neighborhood. It did not take a long time for him to realize, however, that he can only do so much in a sari-sari store environment. WWII came and the sari-sari store was looted and burned. He did a lot of buying and selling of odd things during the war to enable the family to survive.…
