  2. TEODY BELAMINO actually appeared in another martial arts movie, entitled, JUNGLE PRINCESS, that dealt with the Spanish and Filipino early era and he did some arnis/sword/stick fighting in it but I wonder if anyone on this movie set actually realized this? GRANDMASTER Vicente 'Vic' Sanchez was the arnis fight stand in in this movie.
