Twentysomething Filipino-American model Jaycee Sahagun hails from Union City and Hayward in California, United States and now resides in Tondo, Manila, pursuing his dream of becoming an actor here.

Although parts of his background are far from the showbiz limelight —finishing a Computer Science degree program with focus on the use of software and hardware in corporate settings and working in the fields of accounting and technical support — he also dabbled in showbusiness such as appearing in the variety show Eat…Bulaga! and the movie Bakit Ba Ganyan? (Ewan Ko Nga Ba, Darling). Before returning to the Philippines in 2014, he has also worked at The Filipino Channel of ABS-CBN.
