He was also an uncle of actress Liberty Ilagan. He attended the Legarda Elementary School, San Beda College and Ateneo de Manila where he studied Business Administration.

Aside from acting, Arevalo also served as the anchor of ABS-CBN's news bulletin Balita Ngayon along with Mel Tiangco. This followed after the station resumed broadcasting following the People Power Revolution in 1986, and lasted until the program's replacement by TV Patrol in 1987.
