José Acuña Bautista Sr., popularly known as Ramon Revilla Sr. or simply Ramon Revilla (born on March 8, 1927), is a Filipino actor and former Senator of the Republic of the Philippines. He is known as the "Hari ng Agimat" (literally "King of Amulets") in Philippine movies. Several of his children became notable personalities in the Philippine entertainment scene.
Education
Revilla graduated in Far Eastern University wherein he finished his bachelor's degree in commerce.
Personal life and death
Revilla was the youngest child of the 10 children of businessman Ildefonso Bautista and Andrea Acuña.
His first family was with the mother of Evelyn Bautista, wife of former basketball player and former Senator Robert Jaworski.
His wife Azucena Mortel was born on February 16, 1944 and died on May 31, 1998 aged 54. They produced seven children; namely, Marlon, Rowena Bautista-Mendiola, Jose Marie (Bong Revilla), Rebecca Bautista-Ocampo (Princess Revilla), Edwin (Strike Revilla), Andrea Bautista-Ynares, and Diana. With his extramarital affairs, his children numbered at least 39; Bong's spokesperson Portia Ilagan claimed that the number reached 72. In a 2004 interview with journalist Jessica Soho, Revilla admitted that he probably has more than 80 children. Ram Revilla was one of his children from his extra-marital affairs.
On May 31, 2020, Revilla was rushed to the St. Dominic Medical Center in Bacoor, Cavite. The next day, he transferred hospital at the St. Luke's Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Revilla Sr. died of heart failure at 5:20pm on June 26, 2020, aged 93.
Film career
In his first film appearance, Revilla was limited to bit parts, which was not enough for him, so he left the film industry to lead the Bureau of Customs' Secret Service Unit.
In 1972, he returned to film with the film Nardong Putik: Kilabot ng Cavite, which revived his fame.
He returned on his own terms by establishing Imus Productions, his own film project for him to appear in. Revilla wrote and directed his films together with partner Azucena.
His characters in "Pepeng Agimat" and "Nardong Putik" gave him the appearance of being an invincible superhuman who had to keep a special anting-anting (amulet of superhuman powers). This photo of him is a little fresh because ABS-CBN converted his four major films into a television series titled Agimat: Ang Mga Ramon Revilla.
Revilla received the Famas Best Actor Award for "Hulihin si Tiyagong Akyat" in 1973 alongside his son Marlon Bautista for a Famas Best Child Actor Award of the same film. In 1975, Imus Productions was named Outstanding Film Production. Revilla received the Outstanding Producer of the Year award next year.
He was the Most Outstanding Actor and Box Office King in 1979.
Ramon Revilla Sr. was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
Political career
Revilla became a senator in 1992 and served until the end of his two terms in 2004.
Despite a number of detractors, Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. was able to say his time in the Senate as the author of several important bills. However, the bill he championed that increased his fame was simply called the "Revilla Bill."
"The illegitimate children can use their father's surname if they are specifically identified by the father through the official registry, or if a public record or private handwritten document is made by the father," an amendment to the Family Code Law was enacted into the Philippines in February 2004.
"The child should not be punished with the stigma of his illegitimacy," Revilla Sr. was once quoted as saying.
