"I never dreamed of being an actor. I always wanted to be a soldier—I wanted to make it my career. Everybody has a dream. Somebody says “I want to be a lawyer,” “I want to be a doctor.” And me, it happens to be “I want to be a soldier."

(Eduardo Verchez Garcia, meglio noto con il nome d'arte di Eddie Garcia e detto Manoy, attore e regista; Sorsogon City, 2 maggio 1929 – Makati, 20 giugno 2019)
