Acting

[edit]

In 2010, Roque debuted onscreen in the soap opera Habang May Buhay playing Mark. He later took his first major role in the fantasy-drama series, Aryana in 2012.[3] He played the character Hubert, wherein he co-starred and was paired with Ella Cruz.

While taping the series, he did several guesting roles including Bandila[4] and in the morning talk show Kris TV in which he spoke about issues relating to Kathryn Bernardo.[3][5][6]

After Aryana ended in January 2013, he signed his second major role in the noontime drama series May Isang Pangarap where he played the arrogant Alvin.[3][7] He was paired with Erin Ocampo, an up-and-coming female actress.[7]

In June 2013, Roque had his movie debut in the film Pagpag, an MMFF entry for 2013. He co-starred with Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.[8]

On December 25, 2016, Roque starred as Fabian in a horror-thriller film entitled Seklusyon, which was an entry to the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival. The film received a total of 8 awards; the highest number awarded to a film in the competition.

Personal life

[edit]

On July 18, 2023, he was engaged to Filipino actress Bea Alonzo.[9][10]

In February 2024, the engagement to Bea Alonzo was broken off. Boy Abunda in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" confirmed that on February 6, 2024 Bea Alonzo and Roque parted ways: "As we talk today, yes, hiwalay po si Dominic at tsaka si Bea."[11] In a joint Instagram post on February 11, 2024, Alonzo and Roque confirmed the end of their relationship. “After much thought, consideration, and care, we have mutually decided to amicably end our engagement,” they wrote.[12]

On May 31, 2024, Roque filed defamation and cyberlibel complaint-affidavit with the Pasig Prosecutors's Office against Cristy Fermin. He anchored the criminal case on alleged "malicious statements and innuendos" on her YouTube channel 'Showbiz Now Na' streaming television.[13]
