Gutierrez, who rose to fame in the 1960s, is widely regarded as one of the most influential actors in Philippine entertainment history. He starred in numerous classic films and television projects, earning acclaim for his versatility in drama, action, and romance roles.
Beyond his on-screen legacy, he is also known as the patriarch of a celebrated showbiz family, with sons Ramon Christopher, Eddie Gutierrez Jr., and international star Richard Gutierrez continuing his legacy in the industry.
Those close to the actor shared that Gutierrez remains focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping a positive mindset, and enjoying time with his family. While he has largely stepped away from acting in recent years, he continues to make occasional public appearances and remains a respected figure in the industry.
Fans flooded social media with birthday messages, praising not only his enduring talent but also his resilience and zest for life.
The legendary actor openly brought up the false information that surfaced last week during his thank-you address, claiming that he had already died.
Then she said to the visitors, “Tuwang-tuwa naman ako na nandito kayo ngayon para patunayan na si Eduardo ay hindi patay. Buhay na buhay.”
Ruffa says her father will return to Singapore in April for additional examinations, treatments, and surgeries.
To strengthen his body, Tito Eddie is currently participating in regular morning swimming workouts and therapy.
As he celebrates his 84th year, Eddie Gutierrez’s message is clear: life is meant to be lived fully, no matter the age.
With his infectious energy and timeless appeal, the screen legend once again proved that he is, indeed, “buhay na buhay pa.”
