Action-packed |

Acomebacking Filipino-Chinese actor-producer. A new
father who continues to soar high in tights. And a former taekwondo
champion running for councilor. All these in today’s action-packed
column.
I admire Derick Dee for mustering
enough guts to initiate the comeback of Filipino action films on the
big screen. For many, many years now, Filipino action films have
been buried more than six feet under because of poor ticket sales
and high costs of production. Action stars have been sidelined and
many have chosen to either make a living by appearing on television
dramas or fantasy programs. Some have sought refuge in politics
where they will have more chances to make more money and
reinvigorate their sagging popularity.
