Before the shows, before the restaurants—Marvin was just a hungry kid with leftover rice, a small pan, and a dream.
At nine years old, he cooked his first fried rice with nothing but gut instinct and a love for flavor. From mascot to waiter, actor to entrepreneur—Marvin’s journey has always circled back to one place: the kitchen.
It’s where stories are stirred, lessons are simmered, and memories are made. That same spirit lives on in Lutong Buhay, his Facebook group where Marvin shares real recipes, real conversations, and a taste of life behind the scenes.
Join the group—not for perfection, but for connection.
Because the best meals (and moments) are always the ones that feel totoo.
