BIOGRAPHY OF FRED GALANG
Fred Galang was one of the famous actors in the Philippines during his acting career. Fame, Fortune and Females, Fred had all these as a celebrity.
At the height of his success as an actor, director and producer, “I felt miserably deceived by my own knowledge of success,” Fred said. “I am elated with ideas of progression and charmed with my own vain philosophy, but grope in midnight darkness relative to true knowledge. Yes I had my learning experience but never came to the knowledge of the truth.” he declared.
In 1968, Fred appeared as a leading man of Charito Solis in "Igorota" and earned him to be Best Actor in a Supporting role in 7th Asian Film Festival, and also awarded as FAMAS' ‘Best Supporting Actor' in the same picture.
In 1969, Bangkok, Thailand after the Royal Command Performance of his film, "Ang Pulubi," The Royal Couple, Queen Sirikit and King Phumibul hosted a celebration in honor of Fred Galang.
The movie, ‘Ang Pulubi', was adjudged as the Best Picture of Asia in the 8th Asian Film festival which was held in Manila. Queen Sirikit praised the former actor by saying, “Your movie made me cry, you're really a good actor,” He also won Best Actor award in Manila Film Fest.
The once famous Filipino actor now famous 'Born Again' Minister had performed in drama, action and bold movies.
His desire to enter in acting career started when he was still in Grade IV (10 yrs. old). Since then he took every opportunity to enrich himself with experience.
He went to New York and worked as Liaison Officer of Philippine Mission to the United Nation. And during his spare time he visits 7 th Street Playhouse, a small actor's workshop in said city. There he learned the basic stage acting as a backstage worker.
After one year and six months he went back to Manila equipped with new experience and knowledge. He was then introduced as Daniel Gallego in a movie titled “13 Hudas”.
The eyes of the people started to be upon him, especially at his home town, Legaspi City , where he joined the cast of the film "Magtago ka na, Binata..." as one of the good guys.
When he started making a name in the industry, women became a part of his life. “I was involved with other women, but Nancy Kwan was a special one to me then... I love her so much, we had so many things in common.” he reminisced.
This intimate relationship led him not to go home on 3 consecutive Christmas in Manila.
His life became more complicated when he joined occult, ESP mind power and drugs, only to notice that his life is going no where. Emptiness created a vacuum in his heart, asking himself where is he headed to.
“When the mind has been long permitted to dwell only on earthly things, it is a difficult matter to change the habits of thought. That which the eye sees and the ear hears too often attracts the attention and absorbs the interest,” he said.
In the midst of all these conflicts and confusions in life, one day in one of his travels abroad, and he did travel a lot because he could already afford such luxuries in life being on top of his movie career, and in his pursuit of happiness the worldly way, he felt that traveling abroad would help him.
In one of the hotels that he was billeted in, he found a “book” that has all the answers to his questions in his mind. It was a copy of the Holy Bible which he later learned was placed by the Gideons, and the rest is history, he said.
