Early life and education

Eddie Garcia was born as Eduardo Verchez Garcia on May 2, 1929, in Juban, Sorsogon[10][11] to Antonio Garcia and Vicenta Verchez.[12][13] He grew up on a farm in Naga, Camarines Sur, with his four siblings Mila, Efren, Menchu, and Santiago, and was raised by his grandparents.[14] Garcia's family was descendants of Spanish settlers.

In 2010, Eddie Garcia was interviewed for Mark Hartley's documentary film Machete Maidens Unleashed!, which explores exploitation films that were made in the Philippines in the 1970s and 1980s.[21][22][23]

Garcia appeared in the independently produced film Bwakaw (2012), which was directed by Jun Robles Lana, a young Palanca award winner and director. Lana gave Garcia the script, and was worried a big star like him would decline the role, and the crew feared they could not afford him. Lana told Garcia of his concern but Garcia had already read the script. Garcia accepted the role and asked, "So when do we start shooting?".Шаблон:Cn Garcia won his first international film award at the 55th Asia-Pacific Film Festival as the film's lead actor on December 15, 2012, winning the award for Asian Film Award for Best Actor,[24][25] becoming the only Filipino so far to win the award.[26]

Early in 2013, Garcia was awarded the first Dolphy Lifetime Achievement Award (Ulirang Alagad ng Sining) during the Entertainment Press Society's Golden Screen TV Awards.[19] Also that year, Garcia was interviewed in the documentary The Search for Weng Weng.[27][28]

In August 2014, Garcia was included in Inside Showbiz magazine's list of the five best living Filipino actors,[29] and the Philippines' Yes! Magazine's list of 2014's 100 Most Beautiful Stars.[30]

In 2015, Garcia appeared in the television series Little Nanay. He transferred to ABS-CBN and portrayed Don Emilio on the Philippines' longest-running action television show FPJ's Ang Probinsyano with Coco Martin from 2016 until 2019.[31][32] Garcia returned to GMA Network and appeared in Rosang Agimat; while filming the show, an accident led to Garcia entering a coma and eventually his death.[33]

Garcia continued to appear in films; when he reached the age of 89 in 2018, he said "retirement was never in my vocabulary".Шаблон:Cn Garcia's last notable works were ML, an entry of 14th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival in which he portrays Colonel dela Cruz, a retired METROCOM colonel suffering from Alzheimer's disease, leading him to believe that he is still living in the Marcos dictatorship. Garcia's performance in his movie won him the Gawad Urian's Best Actor award the following year.[34] He also appeared in Hintayan ng Langit, an entry in the 2018 QCinema International Film Festival, starring opposite Gina Pareño as a man who is reunited with his ex-girlfriend in Purgatory. The movie was released on Netflix in the following year during the time Garcia was comatose.[35][36][37] For his final film role, Garcia portrayed Ramon, a gay senator who comes out at an advanced age, in Rainbow's Sunset, an entry in the 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival. Rainbow's Sunset was directed by Joel Lamangan. Garcia was nominated for Best Actor but lost to Dennis Trillo.[38] Garcia had a special participation role in the comedy film Sanggano, Sanggago't Sanggwapo, which was released on September 4, 2019, three months after his death. Garcia did not finish filming his required scenes in the movie due to the accident; it was his last appearance in a movie.[39][40]

Personal life

Garcia kept most of his life private, viewing his acting profession and personal life as separate.[8][10] He lived a relatively simple life without any luxury cars and expensive equipment.[41][42] Throughout his career, he was known for his professionalism, and evaded intrigues and controversies linking him to his fellow co-stars.[43] Film producer Marichu Maceda described Garcia as "a disciplined and independent person, carrying things on his own without needing assistants or managers despite being popular".[44][45]

Garcia was in a domestic partnership with Lilibeth Romero for 33 years.[46] Before Romero, Garcia was married to Lucilla Scharnberg, who died of cancer in 1995. He and Scharnberg had three children: Eduardo "Eddieboy" Jr. (1951–1973), Erwin (March 13, 1956–March 13, 2021) due to liver disease[47] and Elizabeth (nicknamed Lisa). Eduardo "Eddieboy" Jr. died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 22; Garcia called it "the biggest tragedy of his life", feeling guilty because he had gifted to his son the motorcycle his son had ridden. Elizabeth died of a heart attack in 1996.[12] His other daughter lives in San Diego, California.Шаблон:Cn

Garcia said he originally wanted to be either a soldier or a lawyer, saying "Acting is just a job. It's an honest way to make a living."[48] Beyond acting, he was passionate about target shooting as a sport. He was a skilled marksman, having once been a trained soldier.[14][49] Garcia campaigned for the Ako Bicol's party-list representation in the House of Representatives in the 2019 elections as the regional group's primary endorser.[50][51]

Garcia maintained a healthy lifestyle through exercise,[10] vitamin supplements,[52] and healthy diet, saying he preferred fish and vegetables to meat.[8][15] Garcia still worked as an actor and director when he turned 90, and he said he still had an active sex life and went to a gym to remain healthy. He described his lifestyle as "everything in moderation: food, work, even fitness, and workout".[53]

Death

On June 8, 2019, Garcia was rushed to Mary Johnston Hospital in Tondo, Manila, after tripping on a cable wire and hitting his head on the pavement during a shoot for GMA Network's television series Rosang Agimat.[33][54][55] He was unconscious and the following day he was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Makati Medical Center.[56] The actual incident was captured on video.[57] Initial reports stated Garcia had suffered a heart attack on set, according to his family,[58] but was later found to have suffered a cervical fracture due to the fall.[33][59][60]

Garcia's family released a statement contradicting a report that said Garcia suffered a heart attack; they called the initial report "fake news" and said the actor tripped on a cable during filming, and was healthy prior to the incident.[61] A CT scan showed his brain was in a normal state, ruling out the possibility he suffered a stroke.[56] Due to the fracture, Garcia was in a coma. On June 15, his family agreed to place Garcia on do-not-resuscitate status.[33][62] On June 19, there were minimal signs of brain activity and he remained dependent on a ventilator.[63] The following day, Garcia was pronounced dead at 4:55 pm (GMT+8) at the age of 90.[64][65] In accordance with his last wishes, immediately after his death, Garcia's remains were cremated and placed inside an olive-green urn. His wake was held at Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig.[66]

Aftermath

Garcia's accident and death became an issue because there was no standby medical team or ambulance on the set of Rosang Agimat. The unconscious Garcia was lifted from the pavement by non-medical personnel, who carried him to a passing taxicab. Several people, including his wife Lilibeth, said the accident could have been prevented if GMA Network's management had taken safety precautions.[55][67] The Directors' Guild of the Philippines Inc. (DGPI) referred to Garcia's death as "a sad and urgent reminder to the film and television industries that safety protocols at work and on set are of paramount importance".[68] The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) started an investigation into the circumstances of Garcia's accident and death.[69] The OSHC found some occupational safety and health (OSH)-related violations on the part of GMA Network based on an uploaded online video of Garcia's accident, such as lack of first-aid, medical supplies, and a stretcher. They also said Garcia was "carried by personnel using bare hands".[70] On September 4, the DOLE added GMA Network failed to submit an incident report within 24 hours after the accident.[71] On December 23, the DOLE fined GMA Network Шаблон:Philippine peso because of the incident.[72] The network submitted an appeal in response to the ruling.[73]

Acting style and reputation

Garcia is best known for portraying villains. According to Garcia, as a critically acclaimed actor portraying characters that are usually loathed or feared, he had been attacked by a fan who hurt him with an umbrella because his character raped Gloria Romero's character in a Sampaguita Pictures production. Garcia did not lash out at the fan, believing "he did a good job in portraying it".[48] Garcia is also known for his humorous lines, mostly in action or comedy films.[20][74]

Garcia gained a reputation as one of the Philippine film industry's most-reliable, versatile and competent actors, and has influenced prominent actors like Coco Martin, with whom Garcia worked for three years in one of the longest-running television shows of Philippine television.[75] Television presenter Julius Babao called Garcia "a true icon of the Philippine movie industry".[76][77] Journalist Ruel Mendoza called Garcia the Ama ng Pelikulang Pilipino (Шаблон:Literal translation).[78]
