Funnyman Rene Requiestas first started his movie career as an extra in some of Ishmael Bernal flicks, before making it big in the 90s as Chee-ta-eh and in Pido Dida series. One of the early movies he did was the 1981 movie, Salawahan, where he played the role of a gay helper in a fashion store. You’ll find him here very funny and such incredible talent was only realized after 8 long years when he teamed up with Joey de Leon in Starzan in 1989.
