Ramon Revilla, Sr.

Picture
Jose Acuña Bautista (born March 8, 1927), better known as Ramon Revilla, Sr., is a Filipino actor and former Senator of the Philippines.

Early life:
Born Jose Acuña Bautista on March 8, 1927 in Imus, Cavite. he assumed the name Ramon Revilla when he entered the movies.

One of the 10 children of businessmen Inddefonso Bautista and Andrea Acuña.


Personal life:
He is married to Azucena Mortel Bautista (1942–1998), with eight children: Marlon, Rowena, Princess, Ramon Jr., Strike, Andrea, Dianne.


Education:
He already had a degree in Commerce from the Far Eastern University before he got discovered (while he was pumping gas) to appear on the big screen.


Showbiz career:

In his initial showbiz entry, the young Ramon Revilla was cast only in bit roles which was not enough for him so he left the movies to become head of the Secret Service Unit of the Bureau of Customs in 1965.

Showbiz saw his return in 1972 with the movie Nardong Putik.

Like the tough guy he was, he returned to showbiz on his own terms, creating his own film production, Imus Productions, for him to star in. Together with wife Azucena, they ran the film outfit with Revilla writing and directing his films.

In 1973, Revilla won a Famas Best Actor Award for "Hulihin si Tiyagong Akyat" together with his eldest son Marlon for a Famas Best Child Actor Award of the same movie. Imus Films was also recognized as Outstanding Film production in 1975. The next year, Revilla snagged the Outstanding Producer of the Year Award. In 1979, he was Most Outstanding Actor and Box Office King. At that point, there was really no stopping his popularity.

His characters in the films "Pepeng Agimat" and "Nardong Putik" gave him the image of being an invincible superhuman who had in his keeping a special anting-anting (amulet of superhuman powers). This image of his is somewhat alive until now because just recently ABS-CBN adapted his 4 major films into television series entitled Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla.


Politics:
In 1992, the action hero, became a senator, holding office until the end of his two terms in 2004.

Despite having a number of detractors, Senator Ramon Revilla Sr., was able to mark his stay in the senate as the author of some important bills. But the one he spearheaded that raised his popularity was the bill casually called the "Revilla Bill".

An amendment to the Family Code, enacted into the law on February 2004, states "The illegitimate children may use the surname of their father if their affiliation has been expressly recognized by the father through the record of birth appearing in the civil register, or when an admission in a public document or private handwritten instrument is made by the father."

"The child should not suffer the stigma of his illegitimacy," the senior Revilla was once quoted as saying.

The amendment made sense, more so because a celebrity who was rumored to have sired a number of "love children" created it.

RAMON REVILLA, SR. MOVIE ADS Circa 1972-77
Picture
Ramon Revilla was a matinee idol of the fifties who made a dramatic comeback in 1972 with his landmark movie, Nardong Putik, a film on a notorious criminal whose anting-anting or talisman protected him from bullets. It scored phenomenally in the box-office which made him an action superstar. In 1973, his convincing performance in Hulihin si Tiagong Akyat earned him the Famas Best Actor trophy. He produced films for his own movie outfit Imus Productions based on several true to life stories like Tiagong Akyat, Bianong Bulag, Gulapa and Kapitan Eddie Set.

MGA PELIKULANG AGIMAT NI RAMON REVILLA, SR.
ABS-CBN Network is set to offer another action-adventure series as they tied up with the Revilla family and Imus Productions for remaking the movies of legendary Ramon Revilla Sr. to be entitled “Agimat” (Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla). Four promising actors were given a chance to reprise the well-known characters of Revilla Sr. Gerald Anderson will be portraying Tiagong Akyat in “Hulihin si Tiagong Akyat.” Jake Cuenca, on the other hand, will reprise the character “Elias Paniki.” Coco Martin plays the role of a lizard in “Agimat ni Tonyong Bayawak.” And last but definitely not the least - from the Revilla clan – is Jolo Revilla who will play “Pepeng Agimat.” According to Andeng, daughter of Revilla Sr., the idea of remaking the films of her father was presented to them by the network about two years ago.
Picture
The Revilla family and ABS-CBN also agreed that there should be a Revilla to be included in the film to continue the legacy of the renowned clan. “It was part of the agreement that we want a member of the family to portray one of the characters just top preserve the legacy of the senior… Sabi ko siguro ang bida natin si Jolo and ABS-CBN said ‘oo naman’ kasi para hindi mahiwalay from three generations from my dad to kuya Bong and to Jolo,” Andeng explained. “Agimat” will circle in the story of four men whose lives have been altered by a diwata or fairy as she gives them special powers in the form of an agimat.
