Star Magic introduces Miggy Jimenez as the newest addition to its roster of talented artists. Prior to joining the agency, Miggy managed his career independently.
“It was challenging of course,” he told Manila Standard Entertainment during a Star Magic Spotlight event. “But managing my own schedule taught me a lot. It made me more responsible because I had no one to depend on. Yes, it was tough but it’s all worth it.”
Now that he’s part of established management, Miggy believes that he would be able to focus on other facets of his career including singing, dancing, and hosting.
“And this will allow me to channel more energy into my acting that is why I’m so happy be have this opportunity,” he said.

Most recently, Miggy garnered praise for the compelling performance of his role as Poch in the recently concluded TV series Senior High. He was paired with Zaijian Jaranilla, his romantic interest, leaving many fans captivated by their storyline in the series.
Talking about his experience working with Zaijian, Miggy said, “You immediately understand what needs to be done without saying what we need to do. It’s a big thing when your co-actor is that open. Zaijian is really generous in giving.”
“I’m actually down with any characters because I love telling stories,” Miggy said, when asked about the roles he wanted to play. Certainly, Miggy has demonstrated his willingness to take on any role, evident from his acting experience thus far. He was known in the YouTube Boy’s Love (BL) series Gameboys with Elijah Canlas and Kokoy de Santos, which was later adapted into a movie and renewed for a second season.

He has also shown that he can keep up with superstars as he is a part of the movie Pieta starring Nora Aunor where he plays the late Jaclyn Jose’s character’s son, which will be released this year, with the exact date to be announced soon.
