Post by: Mr. Hankey on Nov 19, 2009 at 03:09 PM: I agree. His performance in Salome was amazing. Very deep yet subtle, unlike the hammy performances of the more acclaimed "dramatic actor" among the Bad Bananas.

Totally agree. Big difference in how they attack their roles.

MANILA – Actor Johnny Delgado passed away Thursday afternoon after a long battle with lymphoma, or cancer of the lymph nodes, his daughter said. He was 61.

Ina Feleo, daughter of Delgado and wife director Laurice Guillen, made this confirmation in a text message to abs-cbnNEWS.com.

ABS-CBN News reported that Delgado died in his home past 1 p.m. He was surrounded by his family when he passed away. Bibeth Orteza, Delgado’s close friend, said the actor died peacefully.

Delgado was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. Early this year, Delgado said he was in remission. He added that he was responding well to chemotherapy.

A healthy and strong Delgado even attended the birthday celebration of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in February 2009.

But, according to ABS-CBN News source, the cancer returned. Last week, he was brought to St. Luke’s Hospital in Quezon City. He was discharged Tuesday.

Delgado, Juan Marasigan Feleo in real life, was a noted actor and writer. He appeared in numerous films including "Tanging Yaman," "Kailangan Kita," "La Visa Loca," and "Ligalig."

He was nominated several times in different award giving bodies.

Among his acting awards were best supporting actor for "Ligalig" in 2006 and best actor for "Tanging Yaman" in 2000.

The actor last appeared in Star Cinema’s “You Got Me” opposite Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby. His recent television roles were GMA 7’s “Kamandag” and ABS-CBN’s “Maria Flordeluna” and “May Bukas Pa.” -With reports from Patty Ramirez, ABS-CBN.com, and Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News

Having said that, I find the press release poorly researched. Imagine citing movies that are considered crap compared to the amazing films he's made in the past.

Post by: allanmandy on Nov 19, 2009 at 05:53 PM: Maybe they're hoping that people would start flocking to video stores to grab DVD's of the said films.

Another great loss.

Filipinos generally tend to die young because of our diet and lack of exercise, we eat a lot of fatty, unhealthy foods and exercise and physical activity is not really stressed all that much in our society...
