The little-known life of stuntmen
|
|
By Danica Marie T. Hermogenes Special to the

There’s always a reality behind the illusion.Kicking, punching,
falling from a cliff,jumping from the tenth floor of a building,

we admire the director and the actors but the real people behind
these death-defying acts are the stuntmen.
Stuntmen are professionals who take the place of
actors in risky scenes. Among the pioneers of professional stuntmen
training in the Philippines are Andy Lora and Bandido Sorima. The
duo started their careers with the SOS Daredevils, the first stunt
men group in the Philippines.

wrong.” I’m sure you’ve experienced this rule first hand
