José Clemente "Nonong" de Andrés (May 4, 1947 – November 6, 2018), popularly known by his stage name Bangkay (transl. Corpse), was a Filipino actor.

## Career

[edit]

de Andrés made his debut in acting as an extra in Kisame Street which starred Dolphy, Panchito and Nida Blanca.[1] de Andrés was initially hesitant to take up an acting career, stating that he accepted the role just for fun, but eventually committed to it full-time.[2]

He frequently took roles as an extra in horror and comedy films in the 1980s to the 1990s,[1] appearing in more than a hundred films.[2] He often played dead in several films which earned him the nickname "Bangkay". Due to low pay, de Andrés decided to leave show business and remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.[1]

After retiring, Bangkay was entrusted to take care of a friend's son in Plaridel, Quezon until his adoptive son went to the United States to study college.[1] Sometime in 2005, he began managing a beach resort owned by the town mayor, watching over the place for at least eight years.[2]

Bangkay returned to acting, and took a role in Forevermore.[1] He and fellow horror film colleague Lilia Cuntapay became known as part of a love team dubbed as "BangLi" due to their roles in the series. Because of this, he and Cuntapay were invited as hurados for It's Showtime's Magpasikat Season 6 in 2015.[3]

## Personal life

[edit]

De Andrés never married and had no children. A Masbate native, de Andrés started his involvement in the entertainment industry as a layout artist for RVQ Productions.[1] which was established by comedian, Dolphy.

## Death

[edit]

De Andrés died at the age of 71 on November 6, 2018, in Plaridel, Quezon, after a period of ill health. His remains were interred at Loyola Memorial Park in Parañaque.[4]
