Michael Jericho Sager (born February 5, 2003) is a Filipino-Canadian actor, model, dancer, singer and host.

Early life

[edit]

Michael Jericho Sager[3] was born on February 5, 2003, in Gasan, Marinduque.[4] He migrated to Canada with his family,[5] where he pursued his studies. At age 16, Sager began working as an ice cream scooper before becoming a sales associate in a store.[6]

Career

[edit]

Early Roles

[edit]

Sager’s first television appearance was as a backup dancer in the Disney Channel film Descendants.[7] He also appeared as an extra in productions by Netflix and Nickelodeon.[8]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sager attempted to audition for Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity. Although he was initially set to audition for the teen edition in 2022,[8] he instead became one of 17 artists handpicked by talent manager Johnny Manahan to join Sparkada, a youth-oriented group under Sparkle GMA Artist Center.[9] He was introduced on the musical-comedy variety show All-Out Sundays.[10] Sager portrayed Sean in the television series Luv Is: Caught In His Arms.[11] He was paired with fellow All-Out Sundays cast member Zephanie as a love team. Their first project together was #Frenemies, the first installment of the youth-oriented anthology Sparkle U.[12] They reprised their roles in the third installment, #SoundTrip.[8]

Hosting and Recent Projects

[edit]

In July 2023, following the controversial departure of the original hosts, Sager joined the TAPE Inc. version of the noontime show Eat Bulaga! as a co-host.[13] Along with co-hosts Yasser Marta, Kokoy de Santos, and Kimpoy Feliciano, they formed the all-male group "Chaleco Boys."[14] The show was later renamed Tahanang Pinakamasaya! after TVJ won the copyright infringement case.[15]

The same year, Sager made his film debut as Calvin Sandoval in Five Breakups and a Romance, starring Alden Richards and Julia Montes.[16] In 2024, he landed a main role in Shining Inheritance, the Philippine adaptation of the Korean drama Brilliant Legacy. He also starred in the 2025 mini-series My Ilonggo Girl alongside Jillian Ward.[13]

In March 2025, Sager was revealed as part of the initial lineup of housemates for Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, where he gained further attention under the moniker “Ang Diligent Wonder Son ng Marinduque.”[10][13] He was evicted on Day 63 with fellow duo-partner, Emilio Daez.[17]
