Ara Mina: “My sis Cristine never denies she’s pregnant”

Trivia:
When the late famous karate actor Bruce Lee rose to fame, the Philippines made it among the countries that propagated the Martial Arts to the fullest. If anything, new action stars with expertise in karate came to the fore. The first Pinoy to enjoy tremendous adulation was the deceased Ramon Zamora.
After his blockbuster Revenge of the Dragon, Ramon starred in several solo starrers which were moneymakers. Eventually, Ramon tried to produce films under his Monza Productions which were mixture of action and comedy stuffs.
During his heydays, Ramon discovered another Martial Arts enthusiast Rey Malonzo whom he included in the cast of his vehicles. Just like Ramon, his career was heightened by forming his own movie outfit Twin Dragon Productions. Rey was a scholar as student who graduated salutatorian in high school and with honors in college. Rey was lured to join politics.
In the Caloocan city, Rey won first as councilor, vice mayor and subsequently as mayor for two terms. During that period, Rey found out that good pal Ramon Zamora was down and out. Rey assisted him financially, handpicked him to be the Martial Arts coach in Caloocan City Hall.
It was the late Movie King Fernando Poe Jr., however, who did give Ramon a lion’s share of assistance. Firstly, FPJ handed him the ownership of a huge planted farm in Montalban, Rizal for him to bank on. Secondly, at Ramon’s hospitalization and demise, FPJ shouldered all the hospital and funeral expenses.
The late ‘70s, early ‘80s introduced the younger karate experts, best friends Robert lee (Robert San Luis) and Ulysses Tzan (Romy Santiago), both instructors of Martial Arts. Robert and Ulysses were lead stars in several karate movies. Thus, D Wonder Films acknowledged the duo’s talents by choosing them the co-stars of Child Wonder Nino Muhlach in the action-comedy Cuatro y Medya.
Sadly, Robert’s popularity went downward with his bone ailment brought by his too much karate competitions. Diagnosed with cancer, a profoundly helpless Robert opted to commit suicide which shocked his family, those around him and avid fans.
In the case of Ulysses, he accepted supporting roles, mostly kontrabida prior to tying the marital knots with his non-showbiz girlfriend. Later, he left for abroad to tackle a new work there.
