I will be focusing, however, on a hilarious scene featuring a cameo role of the acclaimed actor Rafael "Bembol" Roco, Jr.
In this scene, Tonton (played by Martinez) and Arnel (played by Lauchengco) went outside the clinic where Gilbert (played by Bautista) is being circumcised.
Tonton saw a vendor (played by Roco) selling young coconuts (buko in Tagalog). Along with Arnel, they approached the vendor's cart. In his excitement, Tonton mistook the vendor's head for a coconut.
Here's a screen capture of the scene (courtesy of Viva Films):

OUCH!!

ReplyDeleteI watched all of the Bagets Film. I think last year, I even watched the first in full length on youtube. Sentimental is my second name.hahaha
The cameo of Bembol Roco (RIP) was very memorable and charming. :)
No doubt, the 'Bagets' films are highly significant in the history of Philippine popular culture. :)
DeleteBy the way, the versatile Bembol Roco is still active in show business.
I haven't verified his participation in other TV programs, but he appeared in ABS-CBN's 'Ikaw ay Pag-ibig,' which ended earlier this year.
