Leopoldo Salcedo and Vera Miles

Although not in the billing, three Filipino actors play important roles in Mission Batangas (1967). They are Leopoldo Salcedo, Helen Thompson and Vic Diaz. They join Hollywood actors Vera Miles, Dennis Weaver and Keith Larsen in the World War II picture, which tells of a band of Filipino and American soldiers protecting government gold in a sunken submarine off the Batangas bay. Japanese soldiers are out to get the treasure.
