Ben Zubiri

Wenceslao "Ben" Zubiri (September 28, 1911 – November 9, 1969),[1] who was also known as Iyo Karpo was a Cebuano composer, actor, and media personality in the Philippines.

His most famous composition, for which he wrote both the lyrics and music, is the song Matud Nila (in English "They Say").

He also was a comedian in radio dramas as well as offering advice on the program Purico Amateur Hour.

He was married to Luz Butalid, a Boholana, whom he met while he was in Bohol as a guerilla fighter during the Second World War.

A street in Barangay Labangon in Cebu City was later named in Zubiri's honor.
