==Early life and education==
Ronald Allan Kelley Poe was the son of Filipino actor and director [[Fernando Poe Sr.]] (born Allan Fernando Poe y Reyes; 1916–1951) from San Carlos, Pangasinan and Elizabeth "Bessie" Kelley (1918–1999). He was born in [[Manila]] on August 20, 1939. He was known as "Ronnie" to his family.

His parents, at the time of his birth, were not legally married until 1940. In 2004, Poe's political opponents tried to derail his bid for the 2004 Philippine presidency when they sought to disqualify him as an illegitimate son of a non-Filipino mother.

He was the second among six siblings, including [[Andy Poe|Andy]] (born Fernando Kelley Poe Jr.; 1943–1995),<ref name="MSMangahas">{{cite news |last=Mangahas |first=Mahar |author-link=Mahar Mangahas |date=March 5, 1999 |title=Bessie Kelley Poe |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PJQVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_QoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4546%2C532041 |access-date=February 6, 2023 |work=[[Manila Standard]] |publisher=Kamahalan Publishing Corp. |page=14 |quote=Like her father ''Auther'' (not Arthur which is wrong spelling) who died in his afternoon nap 33 years ago, and like [[Andy Poe|Andy]] who had a heart attack in 1995, Auntie Bessie departed without warning.}}</ref> whose given name was used by Poe as his own professional name to bank on the popularity of his father who was a top actor in his time. [[Conrad Poe]] was Poe's half-brother, the illegitimate son of Fernando Poe Sr. and actress Patricia Mijares.

The original spelling of the family surname was Pou, from his paternal grandfather, playwright Lorenzo Pou, a Catalan migrant from [[Mallorca]], Spain, who ventured into mining and business in the Philippines.

In 1953, Poe finished his primary education at [[San Beda University|San Beda College]]. For high school, he attended [[San Sebastian College]]. He continued his education at [[Mapúa University|Mapúa Institute of Technology]] and [[University of the East]] and took the course theater arts.

When his father died from rabies at age 34, Poe became the family's breadwinner. In order to support his family, he dropped out of the University of the East during his sophomore year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ncca.gov.ph/about-culture-and-arts/culture-profile/national-artists-of-the-philippines/ronald-allan-k-poe/|title=Order of National Artists: Fernando Poe Jr.|first=|last=|work=NCCA|date=|access-date=October 21, 2021|archive-date=October 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211021080420/https://ncca.gov.ph/about-culture-and-arts/culture-profile/national-artists-of-the-philippines/ronald-allan-k-poe/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Film career==
Poe dropped out of college to work in the [[Philippine film industry]] as a messenger boy, and was given acting roles in subsequent years.<ref name="Bulletin">{{cite web|url=http://www.mb.com.ph/issues/2004/12/22/OPED2004122224882.html|title=We bid farewell to a good man, movie king Fernando Poe Jr.|access-date=January 15, 2008|date=December 22, 2004|publisher=[[Manila Bulletin]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050813080309/http://www.mb.com.ph/issues/2004/12/22/OPED2004122224882.html|archive-date=August 13, 2005}}</ref> Starting as a [[stunt double|stuntman]] for Everlasting Pictures, he was given a starring role in the film ''Anak ni Palaris'' (''Son of Palaris'') at the age of 14. The film, however, was not a big hit. In 1956, the film ''[[Lo' Waist Gang]]'' made him popular,<ref name="Bulletin" /> and the film was such a hit that low-waist pants became a [[fad]].

Also known as 'FPJ' from his initials, Poe acted in a number of films which depicted him as the champion of the poor and downtrodden. He also directed films under the pseudonyms D'Lanor and Ronwaldo Reyes. ''Reyes'' originated from the surname of his paternal grandmother, Martha.

He established FPJ Productions in 1961 and later organized other film companies. In 1963, he testified against criminal gangs, known as the Big Four, who extorted money from the film industry. In 1965, he shared the lead in ''[[The Ravagers (film)|The Ravagers]]'' (in the Philippines this is titled ''Only the Brave Know Hell''), a film depicting the [[United States]] and the [[Philippines]] working together against Japanese war time occupation. The film is considered one of the most influential Filipino films.

Poe won the most best actor awards at the [[FAMAS (award)|FAMAS]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}} Among the films that received awards were ''Mga Alabok sa Lupa'' (1967), ''[[Asedillo]]'' (1971), ''Durugin si Totoy Bato'' (1979), ''Umpisahan Mo, Tatapusin Ko'' (1983), and ''[[Muslim .357]]'' (1986).
