[edit] Background
A target of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration in 2002 for allegedly working in the country without authorization. But the bureau recalled the mission order ADD 335 issued against Rafael after the actor got an ID certificate of recognition as a Filipino citizen on October 18, 2002.
He was introduced by Aimee Quimpo as one of leading men of Jolina Magdangal in Star Cinema's Kung ikaw ay isang panaginip (2002) .
The actor was born to Filipino parents based in Norway. His dad is Cebuano and his mom is Bicolano. Both migrated to Norway where he was born in 1982
A full-blooded Filipino, though raised in Norway, he hardly spoke Filipino/Tagalog when he arrived in the Philippines in 2002. To improve his language proficiency, he took up Filipino/Tagalog lesson and reads aloud Tagalog/Filpino material for at least an hour a day.
In 2006, he was launched as a member of all-male group Coverboys with Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo, John Lloyd Cruz, Victor Basa and Jake Cuenca.
