Early life
Annabelle Rama was born on October 31, 1952[2] to Laurente Rama and Feliciana Rosal. Her Spanish-Filipino father was a ship captain, while she never met her Chinese-Filipino biological mother due to family complications.[3] After the death of her stepmother, Annabelle moved to her half-sister's residence in Barangay Zapatera, Cebu City where she stayed during her teenage years.[4][5]
She is a granddaughter of former Senator Vicente Rama, who was recognized as the Father of Cebu City.[6][7]
Personal life
Annabelle Rama married actor Eddie Gutierrez[8] on November 8, 1980, in Los Angeles. She first met Gutiérrez as a fan when the latter was only 24 years old during an event in Cebu. The two later met again in Manila, where Rama became an actress in her own right.[5] They have six children including Ruffa and Richard Gutierrez who are actors, and Raymond Gutierrez who is a TV host.[9] She is also a stepmother to Tonton Gutierrez and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, her husband's two sons from previous relationships.
Due to her birthday falling a day before All Saints Day, Rama customarily celebrates her birthday in advance.[2]
Political career
In 2013, Rama attempted to enter politics. She made a bid to become Cebu City's 1st District representative in the House of Representatives elections under the United Nationalist Alliance party. She lost her congressional bid to Raul del Mar.[10]
