[Title] => A life so reel: Azucena Vera-Perez
[Summary] => Act I, Scene 1: In the sitting room of an Art Deco mansion on Valencia Street, overlooking the grounds of the Sampaguita Studios and Gardens, there’s an 86-year-old woman in purple-tinted granny-glasses, holding fort in a very lucid and animated manner. Sharp and alert, she’s fully aware of all that goes on around her. She’s reluctant at first, and complains with a twinkle in her eyes about having to undergo this "ordeal" of an interview.

[Title] => Bella & Zeny, anti-heroines remember when? By danny dolon
[Summary] => In the ’50s and ’60s, Bella Flores (right) and Zeny Zabala were the resident contravidas of Sampaguita Pictures. They made the lives of Gloria Romero, Lolita Rodriguez, Rita Gomez, Susan Roces, Amalia Fuenteds, Marlene Dauden and other screen heroines miserable.
Offcam, the two anti-heroines were actually friendly, although when provoked, Bella could be a fighter.
Zeny later freelanced and starred in movies produced by NGI Productions, notably Kalinga and Our Lady of Peñafrancia.

[Title] => Remembering a versatile actor
[Summary] => There is a morbid observation in show business about how death comes in threes. Sadly, this proved to be true last week, when three veteran actors went to their eternal rest in close succession.
First to go was Cesar Ramirez, who died last July 17. Two days later, Oscar Moreno and Vic Vargas also went to the world beyond. All three were products of the Sampaguita dream factory.
Oscar Moreno and Cesar Ramirez are still lying in state (at the Funeraria Paz and Mt. Carmel, respectively) as of this writing, while Vic Vargas’ remains have been cremated.
