Long before the era of the movie stars and showbiz celebrities, there already was a Philippine pop icon named Francisco Harabas, or more popularly known as Kenkoy.

Kenkoy is your everyday funny man. He was a debonnair, bombastic, irreverent, hilarious, and best-loved.

Francisco â€œKenkoyâ€ Harabas was born on the pages of Liwayway on January 11, 1929. Unlike us, however, he did not go through infancy and childhood, but was born straight from the conception of Romualdo Ramos and the brush and ink of Tony Velasquez.

Kenkoy came into this world garbed with the latest fashion of his time, the Jazz Age of F. Scott Fitzgerald, where London-style checkered baggy pants (its hems as wide as oneâ€™s shoes), a sailor hat, and a double-breasted polo complete with suspenders, were the leimotifs of the age.
Says Tony Velasquez: â€œKenkoy is always pusturyosoâ€¦He wore suspenders even before Frank Chavez made them fashionable.â€

my understanding is that the word 'kenkoy' became part of the local vocabulary, meaning 'comic'. i don't know if i got that right or if the word is still being used today.

Wa na ko kaabot sa komiks, but the term "kenkoy" was already part of the vocabulary of major Philippine languages way before I was born.

due to my transplantation from the philippines to america, i was denied the indoctrination and acquaintance of 'kenkoy' as a cultural experience. tho, i must say that from merely looking at the pictures that you've posted, am sure--i would have loved reading about him during my childhood.

thanks for introducing me to the 'kenkoy' cultural experience, Nong.

one question lingers tho, "what's up with the red nose?"

As fate would have it, you were indoctrinated at the source. Kenkoy's hairline, who does it remind you of? Yes, Mickey Mouse!
