Or see spots like Pagsanjan Falls and watch Ifugaos playing Cambodian tribesmen hacking a carabao. Trivia: apparently Martin Sheen had a heart attack while filming in the Philippines. | Platoon
put Oliver Stone on the map. Another Vietnam film made entirely in the
jungles of the Philippines - primarily Pagsanhan and Cavite. Click here if you are curious which alums were in this classic war movie. Lots of great actors spent time in the Philippines during the shooting of this hard-edged war movie. |
Former Charlie's Angel Cheryl Ladd and dozens of IS high school hunks from the eighties are in Purple Hearts, a love story set during the Vietnam war.
