CHIQUITO- THE 'OTHER' KING OF COMEDY


"Arizona Kid" (1970)

Chiquito was born Augusto Valdez Pangan in Manila. His entertainment career began at the age of 13, when he appeared in a major musical production at the Manila Grand Opera House. In the next several years, he was a fixture in the Manila bodabil circuit, popular for his skill in dancing the boogie-woogie. Chiquito broke into films with Sanggano from Palaris Pictures. He would star in over a hundred films, mostly comedies, in the next 5 decades. Chiquito, considered king of slapstick humor, was the archrival of Dolphy as the top comedian during his prime. He brought to life on film several memorable comic characters, such as the Larry Alcala creation Asiong Aksaya, the caveman Barok, and the quack doctor Mang Kepweng. He established his own production company, Sotang Bastos Productions, named after his favorite film role from the 1950s. He would ride on the crest of ever popular comedy spoofs of Hollywood genres such as the gangster films and the western. In one of these Western spoofs, 1970's The Arizona Kid, he co-starred with the sometime Hollywood sex symbol Mamie Van Doren.

Isa sa mga di namin malilimutang pelikula ni Chiquito nung mga bata pa kami ng brother at mga pinsan ko ay yung "Saksakan Ng Lakas" kung saan lumalakas si Chiquito pag kumakain siya ng itim na damo. Meron ka rin bang movie ads nun?

Sorry, I don't have the ad. Chiquito did numerous movies in the 1960s. I still searching for his first Mr. Wong movie ad. Any idea kung anong year pinalabas ito?

Hindi ko rin matandaan kung anong year ito ipinalabas. Siguro mga nasa 1964 or 1965.

Pare sana magawan mo ng paraan kung paano makakagawa ng DVDs ni Chiquito, sobrang nakakatawa kasi siya no doubt, 2 pa lamang na-download kong torrent niya eh, KAPE'T GATAS at yung ESTONG TUTONG.

Para sa akin siya ang KING of COMEDY!!!
