Anime Kabayan

Since the 90’s, Marlo has been an avid viewer of Japanese shows, whether it’s anime or tokusatsu titles. He became an anime fan in 1999, during the height of GMA’s Primetime anime block.

In 2004, Marlo was hired as a radio disk-jockey for Hot FM 101.5 San Pablo, a now-defunct radio station of Manila Broadcasting Company in San Pablo City, Laguna, where he was known by his moniker “Anime Kabayan”. He left the radio station when it folded in 2006.

In August 2005, he became one of the pillars of ZEN Otaku Honbu.

Currently, Marlo is the Head of Eureka Club, an Anime, Cosplay and Fandom organization based in San Pablo, Laguna, which was formed in 2014. He also serves as its events organizer and host.

His deep understanding of anime and his connection to the audience are the reasons why his Filipino-language opinion columns are one of the most trusted by the community.
