Zaldy is 'Batangueño'

Zaldy Zshornack is really no Batangueño.

His family is based in Malabon and traces its roots from Bicol. But in Zaldong Batangueño (1963), the actor can pass off as a real son of Batangas. He was barako but gallant and, of course, an expert in wielding a balisong.

He is Zaldo, ‘The Batangueño you’ll never forget — and forgive.’

The movie is action cum comedy, the laughs mostly provided by Dolphy and Panchito. — RKC
