Eddie Romero was born Edgar Sinco Romero on 7 July 1924 in Dumaguete, on the island of Negros. His father was the first Philippine ambassador to London, his mother a schoolteacher. He was writing screenplays at eighteen, moved on to directing and producing, and pursued two careers at once: adventure and horror films made for the American market, and historical epics about his own country. The Philippines named him National Artist in 2003. He died in Manila on 28 May 2013.
