Career
Early roles
Sager's first appearance on live television was as a backup dancer in the Disney Channel film Descendants.[9] He later worked as an extra in productions for Netflix and Nickelodeon.[10]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sager attempted to audition for Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity. Although initially set to audition for the Teen Edition in 2022,[10] he was instead selected as one of 17 artists chosen by talent manager Johnny Manahan to join Sparkada, a youth-oriented group under Sparkle GMA Artist Center.[11] He was formally introduced on the variety program All-Out Sundays.[12]
Sager portrayed Sean in the television series Luv Is: Caught In His Arms.[13] He was later paired with fellow All-Out Sundays cast member Zephanie as part of a love team.

In July 2023, Sager joined the TAPE Inc. version of the noontime show Eat Bulaga! as a co-host following the departure of its original hosts.[15] Alongside Yasser Marta, Kokoy de Santos, and Kimpoy Feliciano, he became part of the all-male group known as the "Chaleco Boys".[16] The program was later renamed Tahanang Pinakamasaya! after TVJ Productions won a copyright infringement case.[17]
Sager made his film debut in 2023 as Gab in Five Breakups and a Romance, starring Alden Richards and Julia Montes.[18] In 2024, he played a main role in Shining Inheritance, the Philippine adaptation of the South Korean drama Brilliant Legacy. He later appeared in the 2025 mini-series My Ilonggo Girl alongside Jillian Ward.[15]
In March 2025, Sager was announced as part of the initial lineup of housemates for Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, where he was given the moniker "Ang Diligent Wonder Son ng Marinduque".[12][15] He was evicted on Day 49 of the competition together with fellow duo partner Emilio Daez.[19]
