Ganda Babae Ganda Lalake (1990) and Cheeta-Eh Ganda Lalake (1991) made Rene Requiestas a household name and installed him the Box-Office King succeeding his mentor, Joey de Leon.
Coming from a poor family, comedian Rene Requiestas started his movie career as an extra, playing houseboy to some of Ishmael Bernal’s flicks (i.e. Salawahan, Pabling) with a take-home pay of P50 a day. He also tried theater and one of the mainstays in a post-EDSA political TV satire, Sic O’clock News with Jaime Fabregas. Rene made an easy transition to the movies appearing in minor and supporting roles in Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon movies. After a series of movies with Joey de Leon, playing sidekick as Chee-ta-eh in three Starzan movies, as Tonton in two Long Ranger and Tonton movies, as James in Elvis and James, among others, he was launched in his first solo picture, Ganda Babae, Ganda Lalake, a box office success. Rene’s almost impeccable and perfect comedic timing, natural funny disposition, humorous delivery, coupled with crazy hairstyle and that toothless grin made him the toast of Philippine movies and Box-office star in the early 90s. He was at his best with Kris Aquino in Pido/Dida series.
