Biography

Raymond Bagatsing was born in the Philippines, a country with a rich cultural heritage, and is of Filipino, Indian/Persian, Chinese, and Spanish descent, reflecting the nation's diverse cultural influences. At the tender age of 11, he made the bold decision to relocate to Melbourne, Australia, to live with his mother, marking a significant turning point in his life.

As a teenager, Raymond's passion for the performing arts led him to land a leading role in a teenage martial arts film during a vacation in Manila. This early exposure to the entertainment industry sparked a desire to pursue a career in acting, and after completing high school, he returned to Manila to focus on his craft.

The 1990s saw Raymond establishing himself as a prominent figure in the action film genre, working on numerous projects that showcased his versatility and range as an actor. However, he soon expanded his repertoire to include more dramatic roles, earning critical acclaim and recognition, including the Best Actor award at the Asian Television Awards in Singapore in 2001 for his powerful performance in "Maale Ala Mo kaya" (Would you remember The Wedding Ring).

Throughout his career, Raymond has been recognized for his impressive martial arts skills, having trained in various disciplines, including Wing Chun Kung Fu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Ju-Jitsu, Capoeira, and Aikido. When he is not busy filming, he dedicates his time to teaching acting and mixed martial arts classes in Manila, solidifying his reputation as one of the most sought-after talents and mentors in the industry.

Raymond's impressive resume includes a range of notable collaborations, including a co-starring role alongside acclaimed French actress Isabelle Huppert in the Cannes-winning film "Captive" (2012),directed by Brillante Mendoza. In 2016, he was cast in the Spanish production "1898 Los Ultimos Filipinos," alongside Luis Tosar, directed by Salvador Calvo.

In 2006, Raymond made the decision to relocate to Los Angeles, where he splits his time working between the US, the Philippines, Europe, and the UK. When he is not acting, Raymond enjoys practicing yoga and meditation, reflecting his love for life and commitment to personal growth.
