He was born Marvin Jay Marquez Cuyugan in Paco, Manila, in January 29, 1979. Coming from a poor family, he is the youngest and the only male child of Theresa and Danilo Cuyugan and has two older sisters. He learned acting through his mother.[1]

Television career

[edit]

Agustin is one of the Star Magic talents during the 1990s. He started his television career in 1996 through ABS-CBN's youth oriented show Gimik and was paired with singer-actress Jolina Magdangal. He was also chosen to be one of the lead casts of soap opera Esperanza and miniseries Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako.[2] He was paired with Magdangal once again and they become the protagonists of soap opera Labs Ko Si Babe, the first Philippine romantic-comedy series.

After Labs Ko si Babe ended in 2000, he became part of the trio named Whattamen together with his real life best friends Dominic Ochoa and Rico Yan. The trio became the replacement hosts for Willie Revillame in the defunct noontime show, Magandang Tanghali Bayan from 2001 to 2003. In 2001, they were tapped to head the sitcom Whattamen. It continued until 2004 even though Yan died in 2002. His life story was featured in drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya on one of its episodes in 2005.

Agustin won his first TV and film acting awards for his performance as Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao in the episode of "Boxing Gloves" in Magpakailanman in 2004's 1st Golden Screen Entertainment TV Awards, and as a disturbed psycho Lemuel in the horror-thriller Kutob in 2005's 31st Metro Manila Film Festival.

In 2005, it was discovered that Agustin transferred to GMA Network. His loveteam with Jolina Magdangal came back in the television through I Luv NY. He also received his first villain role in 2007 through action series Asian Treasures and received another villain role in the same year through the Filipino adaptation of Marimar.

He played a hunchback Gabriel in Mga Mata ni Anghelita. He joined the cast of Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita for a period and has played one of the villains in LaLola.

Agustin also hosted a musical variety show on GMA Network in SOP Rules and a youth oriented drama anthology Dear Friend and hosts a comedy informative show in Outrageous & Courageous. He is part on the drama mini series SRO Cinemaserye: Ganti Ng Puso.

Agustin starred in the romantic-comedy film Adik Sa'Yo and recent appears as Lando in a drama mini-series, Tinik Sa Dibdib and appeared in Panday Kids, which he plays "Lizardo", a villain of the Panday Kids. Agustin formerly hosts the variety show, Party Pilipinas and is also a former part of the cast in Pilyang Kerubin.

Agustin appeared in the series of GMA Network, Beauty Queen in October 2010. Agustin also appeared in a drama series Iglot on GMA in 2011. He later transferred to TV5 as of 2012.

In 2014, he returned to ABS-CBN along with Jolina Magdangal. His last appearance in the network is Maalaala Mo Kaya. In 2017, Agustin briefly returned with an exclusive contract to GMA Network three years later via his drama series Kambal, Karibal (originally titled as Santa Santita). As of 2021, he exclusively works for ABS-CBN again.
