Raul Dillo is considered to be the tallest measured man in the Philippines. Dillo measures to be seven foot, three inches tall. He is one of the few Filipino basketball players to be over seven feet tall. He attended the University of the East, and played for the university's team in 1994. He briefly played for the San Juan Knights, but his career eventually ended up in acting. He has remained in the acting business ever since.
Dillo has a disease called acromegaly, a form of gigantism. This is a hormonal disease in which a person's body tissues never stop growing. This causes organs such as the heart to be overwhelmed and become damaged. The source of the problem lies in the pituitary gland in the brain. This is where the growth hormone responsible for the disease is produced. Most cases are caused by a small and harmless tumour on the pituitary gland. This disease is more common in developing countries that lack adequate medical care to treat the illness. Brain surgery requires highly skilled surgeons with advanced equipment. Famous giants such as Andre the Giant and Yao Defen are examples of people with acromegaly who have suffered as a result of inadequate medical treatment.
Raul Dillo current has a steady acting career in Filipino radio, television, and films. He played the voice of Frankenstein on the radio in 2001.
