Onchie dela Cruz
actor
Ramon "Onchie" Dela Cruz (born November 27) is a retired Filipino professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
He also took acting roles in various Filipino movies and jobs in the United States, and is now into vlogging mostly in Mega Manila streets, catering to former players and related topics.
Career
After some amateur stints, Dela Cruz began his 10-year professional career as the 2nd overall pick of the Tanduay Rhum Makers in the 1985 PBA Draft. He would later leave Tanduay and play for two other teams in separate years.
Dela Cruz was a four-time PBA champion, played for the Philippine flag, and won gold twice in the Southeast Asian Games.
Dela Cruz was a rough player and, according to him, Jaworski and Rudy Distrito can be likened to him as "enforcers" in the league.

Why this record matters
The phrase “actor” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130323846. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
