Robi Domingo - Showbusiness Career

Showbusiness Career

Domingo, together with his fellow housemate Josef Elizalde, entered the Pinoy Big Brother house as the "Plus housemates". Their entry was given the "school rivalry" angle because they both come from schools that are considered as rivals in the Philippines. During the first week, they were given the secret task of convincing their housemates that they were "Best Buds Forever" who have been estranged for a number of years only to see each other again in the show's auditions. They were not able to succeed in their task because their ruse was discovered. Domingo will go on to be part of the Teen Big Four, eventually winning the Second Teen Big Placer award at the end of the season.

Shortly after exiting the PBB house, Domingo joined the cast of the Philippine remake of My Girl with Elizalde, and another ex-housemate, Nicole Uysiuseng. A few months later, Robi joined another reality contest, this time a search to become a VJ for MYX, which he eventually won with 3 others. He was also given a regular spot in ABS-CBN's Sunday variety show, ASAP as part of the dance group, Gigger Boys. His next project was also with the group when he took the role of Arkin in Your Song Presents: Boystown. Aside from being a regular in the main show, he also started hosting the online counterpart of the show, ASAP Chill-Out, with his co-host/s changing over the years.

Late 2010, Robi and his fellow Gigger Boys were launched as the hosts of the short-lived Youth Oriented Teen Variety show called Shoutout!. The show was cancelled early 2011 after a few months on air because of low ratings. However, not long after, it was announced that Domingo is being tapped to join the elite roster of host for Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited, together with Toni Gonzaga and Bianca Gonzales. A week after the finale of Unlimited, Domingo launched the opening of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition 4 with Gonzaga, Gonzales, and newly minted host, John Prats. He also begun being a guest star in ABS-CBN's Kahit Puso'y Masugatan late in December 2012, wherein he played the part of Gerald Fernandez opposite Andi Eigenmann's Veronica Salvacion. Aside from this, he was also a semi-regular co-host in Sarah Geronimo's now defunct Sunday night variety show, Sarah G. Live.

After a few months of speculation, it has been confirmed that ABS-CBN has decided to tap Domingo as one of the co-host for its upcoming Philippine franchise of the popular reality show, The Voice of the Philippines. He will be reunited with Gonzaga for this project, and joined by Toni's younger sister, Alex Gonzaga. In addition to this, he is also scheduled to co-host the second season of the reality show The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition: Doubles with Iza Calzado and Matteo Guidicelli sometime in 2013. Lastly, his other project that was scheduled to air sometime in late 2012 was as a host for the second season of ABS-CBN's afternoon reality show, I Dare You, but the project was pushed to a late 2013 release. He will be reunited with Prats, and joined by IDY season 1 host Melisa Cantiveros and PBB Unlimted housemate, Deniesse Joaquin.

Aside from television, Domingo has also starred in a few films, one of which was Cinco (film), a five-part horror anthology - this film marked the last project that he would have with fellow Gigger Boy AJ Perez before the latter died in a vehicular accident.

Domingo is also an endorser, and among the brands that he has endorsed, is still endorsing or is affiliated with at present time are: Nokia, Bench, Coca-Cola, Jollibee, Skechers, Globe Telecom, Adidas, Wade Shoes, Gold's Gym, RayBan, The Body Shop, Your Own Time and Folded & Hung.
