Acting career

edit

Salvador made his film debut in 1971 with Adios Mi Amor. He toiled in minor roles in Philippine movies until he became a protégé of director Lino Brocka.[2] Together, they made more than ten films in a row,[3] including Ang Tatay Kong Nanay (1978), Mananayaw (1978), Gumising Ka, Maruja (1978), Hayop sa Hayop (1978), Init (1979), Jaguar (1979), Bona (1980), Kontrobersyal (1981), Cain and Abel (1982) and PX (1982). Jaguar, where Salvador played the lead, became the first Filipino film to be entered into competition at the Cannes Film Festival.[citation needed] Salvador played the leading role in another Brocka film, Bayan Ko: Kapit sa Patalim (1985), for which he won his first of three FAMAS Best Actor awards.[citation needed] In 1989, Salvador again starred in another Brocka film, Orapronobis, which was critical of the human rights record of the administration of President Corazon Aquino. That film was banned by the local film censors, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board.[4]

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Salvador headlined several biopics, including Balweg (1986), Boy Negro (1988), Kumander Dante (1988), Joe Pring: Homicide Manila Police (1989) and its sequel Kidlat ng Maynila: Joe Pring 2 (1991), Mancao (1994) and Ka Hector (1995). For his portrayal of Senator Robert Barbers in Bobby Barbers, Parak (1997), Salvador won his third FAMAS Best Actor Award; he had previously won his second such award for Padilla: Bala Lang ang Katapat Mo! in 1993.[citation needed]

Salvador transitioned into supporting roles in films such as Utang ng Ama (2003) and Baler (2008). He also co-starred in the ABS-CBN television series Maging Sino Ka Man and Ang Panday (2005).

Politics

edit

He ran for Vice Governor of Bulacan as the running mate of Josefina Dela Cruz in the 2016 local election. He and Dela Cruz respectively lost to incumbent candidates Daniel Fernando and Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado.[5]

Salvador intends to run in the 2025 Senatorial elections.[6]

Personal life

edit

Salvador is the son of the athlete and film/stage producer Lou Salvador and Corazon Reyes.[7][2] He is the brother to Alona Alegre, Mina Aragon, Leroy Salvador, Lou Salvador, Jr., Ross Rival (born Rosauro Salvador), Robert Barcelona and the uncle of actresses Deborah Sun (born Jean Louise Salvador), Jobelle Salvador, Althea Salvador (who is now married to former action star Jess Lapid, Jr., and Maja Salvador. Singer Juan Miguel "JM" Salvador is his nephew and actress Janella Salvador is his great-niece. He is now married to Emma Ledesma. He has a son named Joshua (born 1995) with actress Kris Aquino as a result of his extra-marital affair.

On January 21, 2009, he beat a bus driver named Michael Baino when he nearly hit his car in Mandaluyong.

Fraud conviction

edit

In 2006, Salvador was convicted by a Las Piñas trial court for estafa and sentenced to 20 years in prison.[8] The case had been initiated by a businesswoman, Cristina Decena, with whom he had a relationship. As of January 2009, the case is pending appeal with the Court of Appeals.[9]
