Joseph Estrada earned his second Famas Best Actor award in 1964 playing the title role of Geron Busabos (Ang Batang Quiapo), protector and defender of the poor and the oppressed. As champion of
Quiapo street folks, Geron is well-loved as he helps and protects them from all sorts of harassments from gang and tong syndicates. The movie also won three more awards: Best Picture, Best Child Actor (Boy Alvarez) and Best Story (Augusto Buenaventura).
