    Threater and Film

    Lamberto Vera Avellana (February 12, 1915 – April 25, 1991) was a


    prominent Filipino film and stage director. Despite considerable budgetary
    limitations that hampered the post-war Filipino film industry, Avellana's films
    such as Anak Dalita and Badjao attained international acclaim. In 1976, Avellana
    was named by President Ferdinand Marcos as the very first National Artist of the
    Philippines for Film. While Avellana remains an important figure in Filipino cinema, his
    reputation as a film director has since been eclipsed by the next wave of Filipino film
    directors who emerged in the 1970s, such as Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal.
    Lamberto Vera Avellana born on Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines. Died:
    april 25, 1991 ( aged 76).

    Avellana directed more than 70 films in a career that spanned six decades. Anak
    Dalita (1956) and Badjao (1957) perhaps stand as the most prominent works from his
    oeuvre. Anak Dalita, which was named Best Film at the 1956 Asia-Pacific Film Festival,
    was a realistic portrayal of poverty-stricken Filipinos coping with the aftermath of World
    War II. Badjao was a love-story among the sea-dwelling Badjaos, an indigenous
    Filipino people hailing from Mindanao. Rolf Bayer was the screenwriter for both
    film.
    . It was Guerrero's favorite aunt, Maria Araceli, who discovered his writing ability.
    When he was 12 or 13 she noticed him writing on scraps of paper and then hiding
    them inside his cabinet drawer. After his aunt's death, Guerrero wrote some of his
    most popular comedies, "Movie Artists," "Basketball Fight," and "Wanted: A
    Chaperone." He also made her the basis for the principal characters in "Forever"
    (Maria Teresa) and "Frustrations" (Maria Araceli). “Both women are like my aunt:
    imperious, strong-willed, wise, but also humane,” he wrote. [2]

    Guerrero received three national awards: the Rizal Pro-Patria Award in 1961, the
    Araw ng Maynila Award in 1969, and the Republic Cultural Heritage Award in
    1972.

    Guerrero has the unique distinction of being the first Filipino who has had a
    theater named after him in his own lifetime: The Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater of
    the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

    Upon his death in May 1995, his colleagues in the theater and the academe
    drafted a resolution declaring him  National Artist. Two years later, the national
    government officialy proclaimed Guerrero as "National Artist for Theater" .
    Avellana was born Daisy Hontiveros on January 26, 1917, in Capiz, Capiz, (now
    Roxas City).[2] Her husband was Lamberto Avellana, a film and stage director who was
    also named a National Artist in 1976.[2] Daisy and Lamberto Avellana co-founded the
    Barangay Theater Guild (BTG), together with forty-eight colleagues, in 1939.
    National Artist for Theater Daisy Avellana dies; 96. ... While Lamberto, at only 23,
    directed “Sakay,” the landmark 1939 film hailed as heralding a new chapter in
    local cinema, it was Daisy who did “Sakay's” story treatment. She also helped
    research her husband's scripts for the classic films “Anak Dalita” and “Badjao.”

    Famous work: “Sakay”
