Question for November 15-Gaurav Kane

X has been included by Time Magazine as one of the world's most influential people for the year 2009.
Allegedly when X was a twelve year old kid in the slums of General Santos city, he ran away from home after his drunken father killed and ate his beloved dog. This left X with some unresolved anger issues which undoubtedly helped in his career choice.

X is the most famous person from his country. In his native country, X endorses among other things, brands of socks,gin, health food, vinegar, a vitamin supplement for fighting roosters, and a kind of karaoke microphone.
There is a drop in crime in his country when he is broadcast on TV. On Nov 14 2009, In the strife-torn southern part of his native country, troops fighting Al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf militants silenced their guns to watch him on TV on from the trenches. (definitely should be a nominee for the Nobel Peace prize next year :) just my take...)

Who is X?
