Mike Nacua[1] (born June 14, 1973), popularly known as Pekto, is a Filipino actor, comedian and television host.[2]
Career
[edit]In 1998, Pekto began his television career behind the camera as a props man—a role related to his studies in Fine Arts, which he did not pursue further as he needed to work and support his family. He stated that when production teams could not provide extra personnel, they would invite crew members behind the scenes to step in, which eventually led to his entry into acting with the help of actors such as Joey De Leon and Janno Gibbs.[3]
Pekto eventually appeared in various sitcoms and comedy shows, including Beh Bote Nga (1999–2003), Nuts Entertainment (2003–08), Bubble Gang, and Show Me Da Manny (2009). He gained further recognition for his role as Bobong, a supporting character, in the sitcom Ismol Family (2014–16).[1]
