The recent demise of one of the trailblazing and significant film producers-directors of the country — Luis Nepomuceno — sadly came in the wake of the escalating pandemic and the inviolable order of lockdown.

He was 89 years old, and the seventh from the brood of eight. The bereaved family settled for an austere, albeit dignified necrological service with relatives and friends around the lockdown area of Alabang paying their last homage to the renowned film director.
