Estregan made his film debut in 1963 with Jose Nazareno, Ang Taxi Driver.[3] He was often cast as a villain and was infamously known as the "Penetration King" of erotic Philippine cinema.[3]

Estregan won critical acclaim for many of his performances. In 1972, he was named FAMAS Best Actor for Sukdulan, and would win two other FAMAS Awards for Best Supporting actor for Kid Kaliwete (1978) and Lumakad Kang Hubad sa Mundong Ibabaw (1980). He was nominated for the FAMAS Award three other times, as Best Actor for Lumapit, Lumayo ang Umaga (1975) and Lalake Ako (1982), and for Best Supporting Actor in Magkayakap sa Magdamag (1986). He also received a nomination from the Gawad Urian as Best Actor for Hostage: Hanapin si Batuigas (1977).

Personal life

He was married to Ramona Pelayo-Ejercito of Ibajay, Aklan, with whom he had four children: actor Emilio Ramon Ejercito III ("George Estregan, Jr."), Maria Georgina Ejercito, Kurt Joseph Ejercito, and George Gerald Ejercito. He was also the father of actor Gary Jason Ejercito ("Gary Estrada") and Philippine Basketball Association player Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Gherome Eric Ejercito out of wedlock. His grandson Kiko Estrada is also an actor.

gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Bob" and "Bοb" for instance.
gollark: That way, if you want to use a name which has already been used, just use an identical-looking Unicode character!
gollark: As an alternative to name exclusivity which would also bring rampant chaos, why not increase the name length limit to 128 and remove all restrictions on characters used?
gollark: Is it just me or are rift wyrms substantially less common than xenowyrms now?
