Johnny Delgado

Juan Marasigan Feleo (February 29, 1948 – November 19, 2009), known professionally as Johnny Delgado, was a Filipino television and movie actor, comedian, and writer. He is best known for his television work on the TV gag show Goin' Bananas. Other roles include the films Kakabakaba Ka Ba? and Tanging Yaman. The latter won him the FAMAS Award and the Metro Manila Film Festival Award for Best Actor in 2000.

Personal life He was born as Juan Marasigan Feleo on February 28, 1948, in Manila. He is the son of Ben Feleo, a film director, and Victorina Marasigan, an educator. Johnny had his formal education at Colegio de San Juan de Letran.

He was the husband of actress-director Laurice Guillen and the father of actresses Anna Feleo and Ina Feleo. Besides his work in film and television, he also appeared in the Philippine version of Coca-Cola's TV commercial for Cherry Coke. He was posthumously inducted to the Philippines Eastwood City Walk of Fame in December 2010 one year after his death.

Illness and death Delgado was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. Early that year, Delgado assured that he was responding well to chemotherapy. A healthy and strong Delgado went so far to attend the birthday celebration of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in February 2009. He announced there that he was in remission.

The cancer suddenly metabolized again in November 2009, and he was rushed to St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City. After being discharged on November 17, he died on November 19, 2009, of lymphoma, and was interred at Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina five days later on November 24. He preceded his father in death, as Ben Feleo would die nearly two years later of a stroke.
