An icon and one of the pillars of the Philippine film industry, Maurice Ruiz de Luzuriaga Gallaga or commonly known as Peque Gallaga. A multi-awarded Filipino film-maker who has given pride to the film industry, his most significant achievement in the film was the movie "Oro, Plata, Mata."

Director Peque Gallaga created and co-directed many films that made the Philippine movie industry flourish. Some of his impressive works are "Oro, Plata, Mata" in 1982, the scary horror film "Shake, Rattle & Roll" (1984, 1990, and 1991), about the heroine "Darna: Ang Pagbabalik" shown in 1994, the movie "Batang X" in 1995, and another fantasy movie entitled "Magic Temple" premiered in 1996.

For sure, we will continue to remember him through his works and the films that he has created for all Pinoy movie enthusiasts. Farewell to an icon and a dream-maker.
