Romulo Tobias ♥ Nena Bacud
(Golden Wedding Anniversary)
30 December | Manila Hotel
“Never did Capt. Romulo and Lola Nena thought that they would have their vows renewed 50 years after their wedding. A Golden Shotgun Wedding, so to speak. A true labor of love, the Tobias family, together with their relatives and pamangkins prepared a long time for this secret special event. Everyone contributed and shared for the new rings of the couple. Since the family wanted a very simple but memorable wedding, they did almost everything by themselves: coordination, invites for 120 guests, planning, and even entertainment. They made sure the big secret would not leak out. All along, the couple thought they were just going to have a family pictorial at Manila Hotel and Luneta Park since it was their wedding anniversary. We played along, of course, but still documented everything. Capt. Romulo and Lola Nena walked into a room full of people who loved them. They were accompanied by marching cadettes and still haven’t got a clue of what’s happening. Reaching the altar, Lola Nena was so surprised to see the man standing in front of them. The brother of Capt. Tobias, Most Rev. Antonio Tobias. The same man who wed them 50 years ago.”

“Uhura” comes from the Swahili word UHURU meaning “freedom”. Uhura was pretty much the first ever black main character on American television who was not a maid or a domestic servant in 1966. TV network NBC refused to let Nichelle Nichols be a regular, claiming Deep South affiliates would be angered, so Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hired her as a “day worker,” but still included her in almost every episode. She actually made more money than any of the other actors through this workaround, and it was kept secret from the other actors, but it was still a humiliating second-class status. The network people made life hard for Nichols, constantly trying to pare down her screen time, purposefully dropping racist comments in her presence and even withholding her fan mail from her.This deplorable state of affairs led Nichols to make the decision to quit after the 1st season, but then she happened to meet the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. who pleaded with her to stick with the show because as a Black woman she was portraying the first non-stereotypical role on television.
