Pugak or his real name is Conrado M. Piring (28 December 1923 - 6 January 1994) is an actor and comedian in the Philippines.[1]
Early life and Career
Pugak was born on 29 December 1923 as Conrado Piring and was one half of the well-known comedy team Pugak and Tugak in the 1950s-1960s. Tugak was played by Perfecto Piñon, who had to shave his head to match the bald pate of Pugak. They built a reputation as a slapstick version of Pugo and Tugo, regaling audiences with their funny repartees and wisecracks. Theirs was an on-and-off partnership that was many times threatened with split-ups, until Tugak called it quits in 1960.
But when duty called, the two would gamely get together, albeit temporarily. Pugak went full-steam ahead as a solo comedian, and dabbled as a director. He was an actor and director, known for Kababalaghan o kabulastugan? (1962), North Harbor (1961) and Walang Patawad! (1961). He appeared without Tugak in movies such as Fist to Kill (1972) and Matang Lawin at ang Crazy 4 (1976). Pugak is best known for his TV commercial appearance in the Datu Puti Vinegar brand, whose scrunched-up “mukhasim” expression remains unforgettable to TV viewers.[2]
Pugak died on 6 January 1994 at the age of 70 years and 8 months after his wife, Milagros A. Piring died on 4 May 1993. They are buried at Paraiso Memorial Park, San Mateo, Rizal, Calabarzon, Philippines.[3][4]
