The Filipino singer-actress marks more than 35 years across recording, television, film and theater
MANILA — Agot Isidro turned 60 on July 20 with a career spanning music, television, film and theater for more than three decades.
Isidro began working professionally in 1990 as a backup singer on The Sharon Cuneta Show. She later joined ’Sang Linggo nAPO Sila, the television variety program hosted by the APO Hiking Society, moving into a regular on-camera role.
Singing was her entry point into entertainment. “Sa Isip Ko,” “Beginning Today” and “Everyday” became among the recordings most closely associated with her 1990s music career. She continued recording while building a broader body of work as an actress and television personality.
Her screen career has included comedy, drama, mainstream films and independent productions. Isidro received the 2018 Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Best Actress award for Changing Partners. She was also named New Wave Best Actress at the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival for Mga Anino ng Kahapon.
Her stage work has included musical and dramatic productions, allowing her to move between singing and performance.
Isidro marked her birthday with The Story of A.I., presented July 17 and 18 at the Globe Auditorium of the Maybank Performing Arts Theater at BGC Arts Center in Taguig. The title referred to her initials. Isidro described the production as a retrospective of her life and career and as a return to live music after almost 18 years.
The event placed singing back alongside the acting work that has occupied much of her recent schedule. It did not represent a withdrawal from film or television.
Netflix’s 2026 Philippine slate listed Isidro in two productions. She co-stars with Jodi Sta. Maria in Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon, about a television writer returning to her estranged mother. She also appears with Janine Gutierrez, Charlie Dizon and Ronnie Lazaro in the horror series Balaraw: Blood Island. Netflix has said titles and release dates may change.
At 60, Isidro is revisiting the work that opened her career while continuing the acting roles that sustained it. The milestone links her beginnings as a singer with a professional life that has developed across several areas of Philippine entertainment.
