Francisco "Koko" Trinidad
On October 10, 1915, Francisco “Koko” Trinidad, "father of Philippine Radio", who greatly contributed to the education and professional life of media practitioners, was born.
In government service from 1947 to 1970 where he retired as general manager of the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS), Trinidad pioneered the distance learning method, or the use of radio broadcast for education purposes.
His program concentrated on public service and educational shows which he patterned after the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
As greatly concerned to the education and professional life of media practitioners, Trinidad joined the faculty of the University of the Philippines, in between 1970 to 1980 where he helped developed new breed of broadcasters.
Prior to that, after high school, Trinidad worked at the Far Eastern Broadcasting Company as announcer and program arranger; promoted to chief of program arrangers; and later appointed as production coordinator. He became production manager after sometime.
During World War II, he became a director of stage presentations at the Avenue, Lyric, and Strand Theatres.
After the war, he served his country as producer- announcer for the U.S. Office of War Information and Program Director for the U.S. Information Service from 1945-47.
He also held key positions which include: Secretary-General of the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNAMCOM) in 1986 for which he retired in 1990; program director of Radio Veritas Asia (International Service).
Koko Trinidad was married to the writer of the hit radio drama "Gulong ng Palad", Carolina Flores (popularly known as Lina Flor). They were blessed with 4 children.
Koko died on January 21, 2001 at the age of 85.
Miriam Jurado
- Filipina actress active in the Sixties and Seventies
- From the Movie Celebrities Then And Now Blog: Miriam Jurado—Another Miss PPP finalist (in 1958), she appeared in James Bandong with comedian Chiquito who portrayed a secret agent.
"For a long, long time, I've been coming and going to the States," volunteered Miriam, "because since 1944 nandito na ang Tatay ko. My father, Francis Eisenman, was American so even if I was born in the Philippines, my citizenship has always been American. Jurado is my mother's surname. Her name was Concepcion and she used to appear in LVN movies as a mataba at matapang na tiyahin."
Miriam started as a child star at LVN Pictures, playing the little Lilia Dizon in Kandelerong Pilak. She was discovered by Lamberto Avellana. From 1957 to 1959, she did several LVN movies, most of them with Marita Zobel, Chona Sandoval, Luz Valdez and Lou Salvador Jr., and then she moved to Premiere Productions where she achieved stardom. Her first-starring picture was Pautang ng Langit, followed by those starring Eddie Mesa (Aawitan Kita, etc.), several costume pictures (Apat na Agimat, etc.) and dramas.
When she turned free-lancer, Miriam starred in action films, such as Ikaw O' Ako (in which she did an erotic love scene with Romeo Vasquez who left her lips bleeding from a passionate kiss).
"My most memorable film was Somewhere My Love, starring Eddie Rodriguez and Carmen Soriano. That's where their romance started. Maliit lang ang role ko pero markado."
She quit showbiz in the early '70s and has been living in Sacramento since then, working as a pharmacy-technician until she retired a few years ago, and is now leading a leisurely life. She never married.
