Rogelio de la Rosa
Regidor Lim de la Rosa (November 12, 1916 – November 26, 1986), professionally known as Rogelio de la Rosa, was a Filipino actor and politician. He was often named the greatest Filipino matinee idol of all time. He is also remembered for his statesmanship, and in particular, for his accomplishments as a diplomat. Elected to the Philippine Senate from 1957 to 1963, he was the first Filipino film actor to parlay his fame into a substantial political career, paving the way for future Filipino entertainers-turned-politicians.
