No doubt Teejay Marquez has made a milestone in his showbiz career by penetrating the Indonesian showbiz scene via his dubsmash videos which went viral in 2016. He may not be a big star there but certainly he has made a mark and gained droves of fans in the Southeast Asian country of nearly 300 million population.
He has done a movie called "Dubsmash: The Movie" and appeared in several TV shows. He is also made it to the cast of Indonesia's version of Taiwanese hit soap "Meteor Garden" titled "Siapa Takut Katij Cinta ("Who's Afraid of Love"). Looking at the meet and greet event for STKC cast in Jakarta earlier this year, there's no doubt that he has indeed gained a tremendous following in Indonesia with his charm and good looks, but sad to say, not quite, in his home country.
Before he embark his showbiz career in Indonesia, Teejay did several projects in his former home studio GMA 7 but in 2015, he transferred to ABS-CBN and appeared in supporting roles in a few soap operas. His stint on Kapamiliya network was somewhat cut short when he decided to go to Indonesia.
He announced earlier this week on his Facebook account that he'd met with ABS-CBN big bosses and the possibility of having a teleserye with Kapamilya Network. Apart from his talent agency in Indonesia, Teejay is managed in the Philippines by ALV Talent Circuit headed by Arnold Vegrafia. He is currently in the country and will soon star in a movie to be directed by Adolf Alix, Jr.
