N%C3%A9stor de Villa

Gines Francisco Soriano , also known as Nstor de Villa, was a Filipino actor frequently cast in musical films. He was a gifted dancer, often paired with frequent onscreen partner Nida Blanca in both movies and television. His dancing talent led some people to call him the Fred Astaire of the Philippines, though the same moniker had also been given to Bayani Casimiro.

De Villa was born Gines Francisco Soriano on July 6, 1928 in Cabanatuan City in the province of Nueva Ecija. He was a premedical student when he was signed by LVN Pictures. His father was disappointed by his decision to become an actor, and the two became estranged. However, they were reconciled by LVN President Doa Sisang de Leon, who arranged to have de Villas father secretly attend one of his movie premieres.
