Ramon Victor Agas Bautista is a Filipino YouTuber, former actor, vlogger, comedian, television host, film producer, writer, commercial model, and educator. He is a self-proclaimed "Internet Action Star".[2]

Bautista graduated from the University of the Philippines Diliman College of Mass Communication, where he earned his degree in film and audio-visual communications. He is currently teaching film at the same university.[3]

He made his first television appearance as he played various characters in Strangebrew,[4] a comedy-reality show television series aired from 2001[5] to 2003.[6] In 2011, he became the main host of the news satire show May Tamang Balita on GMA News TV, and ran for two years. In 2012, he published his book, Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo?, about a man who began to respect a woman after a makeover. The book was adapted to a film with the same name the next year.[7][8][9] In 2013, he gained popularity among Filipino netizens when he published his YouTube relationship advice series, Tales from the Friend Zone (TFTFZ).[10]
