Pugo –was a partner of another comedian Togo. Both were bald. A veteran of stage shows, he did several successful comedies for LVN before he ventured into television where he starred in Tangtarangtang (which later became Si Tatang Kasi), Wanted: Boarders, Alright, Okay, My Son, My Son and also as replacement of Lopito in
Tawag ng Tanghalan. Dolphy so respected Pugo that when the mentor died in 1978, he cut short his US vacation to attend the wake. Dolphy also had Pugo's coffin replaced with a more expensive one – something more fit for the original King of Comedy, which Pugo was in the '50s and '60s.
