RIP Ace Vergel

While pooping at the shit hole, I was surprised after reading about the death of Pinoy film (and real life) bad boy Ace Vergel! He suffered a heart attack. He was 55 years old.

It's a shame 'cause he's one those Filipino actors I truly admire. His work in the Carlo J. Caparas film, Pieta, is arguably one of the finest performances I've seen in a Filipino movie... and definitely one of my favorites. His anti-hero character in Pieta is almost comparable as those roles like Tony Montana from Scarface.

I remember a portion in Pieta wherein Ace Vergel's character's mentor (of crime) raped his mother. For revenge, he raped his mentor's daughter (which happened to be his childhood friend) and impregnating her, just to bring out the old man and kill him! Baaaaaaaaad!

And the movie was good because it never glorified his evil character. No, it wasn't one of those movies wherein the anti-hero repents at the end, turning to the side of good. In this movie's finale, he went after his (rape) love child so he could have a successor for his crime organization. It climaxed into a fight to the death wherein Ace's character got killed in a bloody shootout, with his mother crying but nonetheless agreeing that it's better off this way. Great movie and a must watch for movie buffs.

One final hurray for the original bad boy! RIP Ace!
