Hi (again), I’m Marga!
I am a Filipino actor, singer, and host based in Metro Manila, Philippines, and my pronouns are she/her. I started singing and performing when I was a kid, with my passion for storytelling continuing to grow since then.
Though I graduated magna cum laude from UP Diliman with a Business Administration degree, I have several years of musical theatre training under my belt, with experience in both traditional and digital theatre. Currently, I perform with Clowning Around Manila, and I am a member of TAG Philippines. As the art form continues to shift, I’m excited to contribute my own voice, and to connect with fellow artists and audiences around the world.
Outside of performing, you can find me running, brewing coffee, or catching up on a series (Current watches: Abbott Elementary, Severance, and What We Do in the Shadows)! 2025 media I’m looking forward to include the upcoming Formula 1 season, The Brutalist, and the next Lucy Dacus album.
Find out where you might have seen me with my resume, or listen to me blab and/or sing with my media page!
