"Dimples" is known for her vivacious character and her beauty. she was credited for being the first Filipina actress to be involved in a kissing scene. but apart from her carreer in philippine cinema, Dimples was also the mistress of Gen Douglas Macarthur. she met him when she was only 16 years old with Gen Macarthur already in his 50's, who was already married and has a son. When Gen Macarthur was sent back to Washington, he brought Dimples along and set her up in an apartment. it was around the late 30's when Gen Macarthur got himself embroiled in a legal tussel with gossip columnist Drew Pearson (who threatened to summon Dimples) that gen Macarthur was forced to dump Dimples. He was said to have paid her USD15,000 alledgedly delivered my Macarthur's adjutant a certain Col. Dwight Eisenhower. Dimples never left the us as per Macarthurs requests, instead she head west to california were she setup a hair salon, and eventually went back to manila to appear in some later films. to date she had around 5 films to her name. because of the breakup with Gen Macarthur, dimples went through depression and eventually took her own life in 1960, were she overdosed on sleeping pills. she died in the US
