Carlitos Siguion-Reyna (born 4 November 1957), known professionally as Carlos Siguion-Reyna, is a Filipino director, actor, and producer for film and television. He is the son of actress, singer, and producer Armida Siguion-Reyna, and is married to screenwriter Bibeth Orteza.
Early life Carlitos was born on 4 November 1957, and he is the fourth and youngest child of Armida Ponce-Enrile, with whom he shared her birthday, and Leonardo Siguion-Reyna.
When he was a child, he wanted to become a cook before deciding to study filmmaking at Tisch.
Career In 1988, he directed his first feature film, Misis Mo, Misis Ko, from a story and screenplay by his wife, and his mother co-produced the film with Vic R. Del Rosario Jr., the founder and executive producer of Viva Films. The critical and financial success of his directorial debut led them to form Reyna Films in 1990, with the film Hihintayin Kita sa Langit, a film loosely based on Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights and starring Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta, as its first offering in 1991.
After the release of Azucena in 2000, he stopped making feature films and began focusing on making videos for various organizations and advocacy groups, and became a faculty member at NYU Tisch School of the Arts' Singapore campus from 2008 to 2015.
Personal life Carlos earned his degrees in Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Ateneo de Manila University in 1979 and Master of Fine Arts from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 1986. He is currently married to actress-writer Bibeth Orteza, and they have two children: Rafa, an actor, and Sarah, a writer.
