Manila, Philippines – The legendary “King of Philippine Movies,” Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ), may have passed on, but his legacy continues to live—not just on screen, but in stone, wood, and tradition.
Nestled in the heart of Quezon City lies his heritage home, a true masterpiece that captures the elegance, strength, and character of the man who became a national hero in the eyes of millions.
A Walk Through History
As soon as you enter the property, you are greeted with lush greenery and an old-world charm that instantly transports you to a different era. The house, built with classic Filipino architecture, features wide capiz windows, vintage woodwork, and handcrafted furniture that reflect the culture and grace of the early days of Philippine cinema.
Many who have visited describe the home as a “living museum” — with memorabilia, movie posters, and personal items of FPJ carefully preserved in various rooms.
The Living Room Where Icons Gathered
This is the room where Fernando Poe Jr. once entertained fellow actors, politicians, and friends. Leather armchairs, antique chandeliers, and walls filled with film stills make the room feel like a warm homage to the golden age of Pinoy movies. It’s a place where laughter echoed and history was quietly written.
Personal Touches: The Man Behind the Legend
Perhaps the most touching part of the house is FPJ’s study — simple, quiet, and deeply personal. There, his favorite books, scripts, and even handwritten notes remain untouched, as if he had just stepped out for a moment.
According to close friends and family, FPJ was a deeply private man, and this space was where he found solace from the demands of stardom.
Preserved by the Poe Family
The Poe family, led by his widow Susan Roces (before her passing) and daughter Senator Grace Poe, have committed to preserving the house not just as a residence, but as a cultural landmark. Grace Poe once shared in an interview:
“This house isn’t just ours — it’s a part of Filipino history. My father would want people to remember the values he stood for: honesty, courage, and love for the Filipino people.”
A National Treasure
While the home is not open to the public as a museum, rare glimpses have been shared through documentaries and special features — each time stirring the hearts of fans who continue to hold FPJ in the highest regard.
In every corner of this heritage home lies a story, a piece of history, and a memory of the man who made an indelible mark on Philippine cinema.
Naipundar na Mansion ni Fernando Poe Jr. at asawang si Susan Roces, ipinasilip sa publiko
Kung tatatanungin ang mga Pilipino kung sino ang kanilang idolong artista pagdating sa mga aksyon ay siya ang palaging nababanggit, dahil sa husay nito gumanap sa mga pelikulang kaniyang pinagbibidahan.
Siya ang isa sa pinaka-beteranong artista sa industriya ng showbiz, siya ay si Ronald Allan K. Poe o mas kilala bilang si Fernando Poe Jr. o “FPJ” pinaiksi ng kaniyang pangalan, itinuturing siya ng mga tao na hari ng pelikulang Pilipino kaya siya tinawag na “Da King”.
Anak siya ni Fernando Poe Sr., isa ring aktor at ni Elizabeth ”Bessy” Kelly, na isang Filipino-American.
Siya ay naging malaking idolo ng mga tao kung kaya naman hanggang ngayon ay marami pa rin ng bumabalik sa kanyang mga nagdaang pelikula.
Sa edad na labing apat ay nagsimula na si Da King sa kanyang karera sa showbiz at nagtuloy-tuloy ito hanggang nakagawa ito ng maraming hit na palikula at serye sa telebisyon ng Pilipinas, tulad ng ”Ang Panday” at ”Kahit Konting Pagtingin”.
Noong taong 1968 ay nagpakasal siya sa aktres na si Susan Roces, civil wedding, at hindi nagtagal ay napagpasyahan nilang dalawa na mag-ampon ng isang bata at ang batang babae na ito ay si Grace Poe.
Matapos nito ay muling nagpasya ang mag-asawang Fernando Poe Jr. at Susan Roces na tumira sa Amerika at doon pagaralin ang kanilang anak.
Ginugol ni Grace Poe ang kanyang kabataan sa Amerika at doon na rin ito nakapagtapos ng kolehiyo.
Nagkaroon ng dalawang anak si FPJ, na sina Ronian at Lourdes Virginia o mas kilala ngayon bilang si Lovi Poe, na hindi naman niya isinekreto sa publiko.
Taong 2004 ay nagpasya si FPJ na bumalik ng Pilipinas at tumakbo sa halalan bilang Pangulo ng bansa, kalaban nito noon ang dating naging presidente na si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Sa hindi inaasahan ay sa kaparehong taon ng Disyembre ay biglaan ang pagpana@w ng batikang aktor at marami ang nagulat sa balitang ito.
Ang kanyang anak na si Grace Poe ang nagpatuloy sa kanyang pamana at tumakbo ito bilang Senador ng Pilipinas.
Ang mag-asawang Fernando Poe Jr. at Susan Roces ay mayroon napaka-laki at napaka-gandang bahay sa Quezon na ipinama na sa kanilang anak na si Grace, at ito na ang tinirhan ng kaniyang pamilya.
Makikita na ang pamanang bahay ay pinaghalong moderno at tradisyonal na disenyo.
Mapapansin na ang loob at labas ng bahay ay may kumbinasyon ng kultura at sining ng mga Pilipino na tila ang mag-asawa ang pumili ng napaka-gandang disenyo.
Ang mga dingding ng bahay ay kulay puti at ang mga materyales na ginamit sa tatlong palapag na bahay ay talaga namang dekalidad.
Puno din ng mga sentimental na halaga ang mga gamit sa loob ng kanilang bahay at karamihan na dito ay mga antigo.
Sa katunayan ay mapapansin sa kanilang sala ang “Sarimanok” painting ng gawa ng isang tanyag na National Artist na si Abdulmari Imao at makikita rin dito ang obra ni Sandra Feller.
Sa kasalukuyan ay si Grace Poe na ang nag-mamayari ng nasabing heritage house.
Wala din umanong balak si Grace Poe na alisin ang ilang gamit ng kanyang mga magulang dahil isa ang mga ito sa naiwang ala-ala sa kanyang mga mahal na magulang.
