THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MICKEY!!

He was born in Vienna, Austria on June 1, 1984 but grew up in Bern, Switzerland with his mom, Perla and his older brother, Angelo. After finishing college with a business degree from HVA Didac in Bern, he had worked for Unisys and Ebay. This guy is quite a linguist: he can converse well in 4 languages: German, French, English and Filipino. Moreover, he has excellent logical and analytical skills. He is the choreographer/member of the dance troupe known as Limited Edition. And on February 25, 2007, he was introduced as one of the Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 housemates and was known then on as the “Hiphop Dancing King”.

This Fil-Austrian cutie is passionate about Dancing and HipHop is his forte. Having won numerous dancing competitions like Talent Show in Zurich, Biggest Playback Show, Fame of Stage 2004 and Dancestar 2005, he had been a part of the dance ensemble for the musical, Dance With Me and had choreographed and danced in the concerts of Vina Morales and Janno Gibbs. He had modeled for Adidas, Levi’s, Lee Pipe Jeans, Diesel, etc. According to him, he started to seriously venture into dancing because of EL PALM (Filipino charity group) and Backstreet Boys (Get down, get down…). He also enjoys swimming, shopping and hanging out with his friends.

Michael loves watching TV shows like Captain Tsubasa, Joey, The O.C., Las Vegas, and Entourage. His favorite movies are Get Shorty and Saw. Justin Timberlake, Edward Norton and Jessica Alba are among his favorite artists. 

Mickey describes himself as kind (very true), reliable, funny(?), Big Bear (no more), and helpful. He thinks his impatience is his worst trait and accepting his mistakes is his weakness. He secretly (not anymore) aspires of becoming a singer. His ultimate dream is to change the "landscape of dancing" by building his own dancing school in Switzerland and the Philippines.
