Master Showman (Documentary of Sandra Aguinaldo)


Airing on October 12, 2009 Monday night, after Saksi For almost 50 years, this man has been a staple character on our television screens. If it weren’t for him, we would not have the likes of Lea Salonga, Ruffa Gutierrez, Judy Ann Santos, Billy Crawford and Sharon Cuneta in the showbiz industry today. He is the ultimate star builder, an industry legend, and the one and only Master Showman - German Moreno. This Monday, Sandra Aguinaldo presents the life of German Moreno through the eyes of his long-time friends and Philippine entertainment legends Dolphy, Gloria Romero, and Pilita Corrales. Join them as they recount the colorful story of Kuya Germs, from his humble beginnings as a theater curtain-puller during the 1940s up to his heydays as star discoverer in the “That’s Entertainment." People from all corners of the industry have come to love Kuya Germs because of his generosity and kindness. Sandra also interviews Judy Ann Santos, Isko Moreno and Kuya Germs’ radio co-host Shalala and discovers how Kuya Germs have helped them in their respective careers. Kuya Germs himself also unravels details of his personal life to Sandra as I-Witness attends his 76th birthday celebration. This year, Kuya Germs chooses to celebrate by helping the victims of typhoon Ondoy. Get to know who Kuya Germs really is on- and off-camera in this entertaining biographical documentary about the life of the Philippines’ one and only “Master Showman," written and produced by award-winning journalist Sandra Aguinaldo for I-Witness, airing this Monday midnight after the late night newscast Saksi.
