Ang Panday na Erap

An Estrada died making an Estrada film.

abs-cbnNEWS.com:
Fernando Estrada, the behind-the-scene cameraman (of Star Cinema), was among the nine fatalities in the tragic sinking of MV SuperFerry 9 off the Zamboanga Peninsula on Sunday.

The 29 crew of Star Cinema were in General Santos City to shoot some scenes for the film “Ang Tanging Pamilya.” They were on their way home to Manila when the tragedy occurred.

"Ang Tanging Pamilya" is the comeback movie of former president Joseph Estrada after almost 20 years.

The film's leading lady, Ai-Ai delas Alas, expressed her sadness and immediately leveraged the misfortune towards the movie, short of blatantly promoting it.

Expect publicists to generate buzz with Erap honoring the two deceased Ronnies - the cameraman and Panday.

Without any ulterior motive, I empathize with those affected by this tragedy.

Did you know that...
...the first Fernando Poe Jr. - Joseph Estrada starrer was the 1961 film Baril Sa Baril by Tagalog Ilang-Ilang Productions, directed by Armando Garces.

I wonder when Panday and Erap will reunite.

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang
