EDDIE GARCIA: SI "MANOY" NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO
Eddie Garcia is a respected and multi-awarded actor and director. A versatile performer, he can play both lead or contravida roles. In the many movies he made, one character that always stuck on one’s mind--- a mischievous fellow named 'Manuel Dakutin' or ‘Manoy.” He is fun and joy to watch in the many sex-comedy movies he appeared onscreen.
And it all started with this movie with a naughty title “Batuta ni Drakula” in 1971 and "Ako ang Nagbayo" in the mid-70s, where probably, the character 'Manoy' was first introduced.
