Agosto 30 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Noong Agosto 30, 1896, naganap ang Battle of Pinaglabanan, kung saan ang mga kulang sa sandatang mga Katipunero sa pamumuno ni Gat Andres Bonifacio ay magiting na nakipaglaban sa mga sundalong Kastila sa isang pook sa San Juan (na noon ay bahagi ng lalawigan ng Rizal). Noong 1973, isang bantayog ang itinayo upang alalahanin ang mga nagbuwis ng buhay sa naturang pook na “Pinaglabanan.”

Picture Trivia

          Robert Patrick played the role of FBI agent John Doggett in the TV series The X-Files. In the episode titled “Salvage” (January 14, 2001), he mentioned “You only see metal men in movies.” This can be alluded to Patrick portraying the role of the T-1000, the extremely difficult to destroy liquid metal terminator, in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

          Incidentally, when the production of Terminator 2 was announced in 1984, the estimated budget was 12 million dollars. The production cost, however, reached 102 million dollars, the first film to exceed a 100-million-dollar budget.
