Acting and broadcasting career
Webb began a career in movies and television from his days as a basketball player up to the present. He is also a radio personality and sportscaster.
After the declaration of Martial Law in 1972, Webb hosted the daily show Pa-bandying, Bandying in 1973 over RPN-9.[citation needed] But he became a household name when he was cast as Jimmy Capistrano, the modelling and talent agency proprietor in IBC-13's Chicks to Chicks in 1979. He was paired with comedienne Nova Villa, who was Ines Capistrano, the wacky housewife of Jimmy Capistrano. Their team-up was hilariously accepted and where the funny line "Sweetheart, ligo na tayo" ("Sweetheart, let's take a bath"), started.
