Teejay Marquez Inks Co-Management Contract with Sparkle

Teejay Marquez signed a co-management contract with Sparkle GMA Artist Center on Tuesday, August 12.

Under the agreement, Sparkle shares co-management responsibilities with Teejay’s management arm, ALV Talent Circuit, headed by Arnold Vegafria.

At the contract signing, Teejay thanked his Sparkle bosses for their trust and confidence.

He said, “I’m very thankful to GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group and GMA Films President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Sparkle FVP for Talent Development and Management Ms. Joy Marcelo, and my Sparkle Senior Handler, Ms. Jan Navarro. Of course, I’m also super grateful to my manager, Sir Arnold Vegafria, for opening new doors for me.”

The hunky actor, best remembered for sparking the BL trend some years back, expressed his joy and excitement for his new career high.

He gushed, “Of course, I’m very excited about their plans for me, and I’m looking forward to working with them again, since my last project with them was last year.”

No stranger to the Kapuso family, Teejay has done his share of projects with GMA-7, and last year, he appeared in Makiling (2024), where he played Oliver, one of the Crazy Five and one of the bullies in the show.

Given the chance, he would love to star in an action or fantasy series. 

He shares, “I’m really looking forward to doing a fantaserye or action-fantaserye with GMA. We all know GMA is really good at producing fantaseryes, and personally, I love wearing costumes.”

“If I were given the chance to conceptualize and star in my own series, it’s going to be a fantaserye, or maybe I’ll be a robot who falls in love with my onscreen partner. Haha! Or perhaps a mystery series where I play the role of a serial killer.”

But he’s just as willing to explore drama roles, and maybe even figure in a loveteam tandem.

Asked who among Sparkle’s talents he’d love to work with, he quickly replies, “Ms. Marian Rivera, and some of my batchmates from Tween Hearts.”

For his part, Vegafria remarked, “With the guidance of his Sparkle mentors, and the able stewardship of his ALV Talent Circuit handlers, I expect his career to level up to stratospheric heights as he tackles more challenging roles, breaks out of stereotyped roles and takes his rightful place as one of the Kapuso network’s best and brightest top-tier actors and brand endorsers.”
