Palito

Palito was a veteran Filipino slapstick comedian and actor who was at the height of his career in the 1970s and 80s. He was well known for his unusually light build and thin anatomy, earning him the selfdeprecating screen name Palito, which is Spanish for stick and is glossed in Filipino as matchstick or toothpick.

Palito was born in Calamba, Laguna, near the house of Dr. Jos Rizal . As a teenager in the 1950s, he took a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant called Alex Soda Fountain, located beside the Cine Odeon along Calle Azcarraga . The restaurant was frequented by movie stars, and he was discovered by Lauro Santiago of Santiago Productions.
