It was FPJ’s widow, veteran actress Susan Roces, who appeared first on the big screens to introduce the movies of her late husband.
Many of the people who were present at the University of the Philippines Bahay ng Alumni are members of the Filipinos for Peace, Justice and Progress Movement or FPJPM, who were fans of FPJ.
