Hi, I’m Marga!
I am a Filipino actor and singer based in Metro Manila, Philippines, and my pronouns are she/her. I started singing and performing when I was a kid (willing to bet that you wouldn’t have been able to find a bigger Julie Andrews fan than 5-year-old Marga!), and my passion for storytelling has only grown 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. 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, I am a Customer Success Manager for a data science consultancy. I love vinyl records, Ted Lasso, and Formula 1, and coffee and The Office memes are sure-fire ways to make me smile!
