Lifestyle asked his colleagues and friends to recall their relationship with Menggie Cobarrubias, the first Filipino performing artist to succumb to COVID-19.
I’ve never seen Lino Brocka’s 1979 film “Jaguar,” for which Menggie Cobarrubias won best supporting actor in Gawad Urian. I also have not watched the many stage plays, TV series and other movies of Cobarrubias.
Lifestyle asked his colleagues and friends to recall their relationship with Cobarrubias, the first Filipino performing artist to succumb to COVID-19. Theater actor Stella Cañete-Mendoza said: “Si Tito Menggie, ubod ng kulit when we were working together. We had an instant bond from the time we worked on ‘A Hatful of Rain’ until our last production, ‘Fathers and Sons.’”
“Menggie had a surprisingly good grasp of Philippine history. He also had an impressive command of the English language. When I was president of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila , we asked him to develop a tourist guide package for Intramuros so we could contribute to maximizing the unexplored tourism potential of Intramuros. He was working very closely with our Tourism faculty and students.
