Mariko Nicolette "Mika" Egger dela Cruz-Victoriano (born December 9, 1998) is a Filipino actress.[2] She was formerly an artist of GMA Network.[3]

Personal life

Mika was born in Tokyo, Japan to a Japanese biological father and an Italian-Austrian mother Angelica Egger.

She also had a stepfather named Ernie Dela Cruz (now deceased), who accepted her into the family. She is the younger half-sister of Angelika Dela Cruz.[5] Despite her ethnic background, Mika identifies as Filipino.

She married her long-time partner and co-actor in Goin' Bulilit, Nash Aguas in 2024.[6] The couple, who started their relationship since October 20, 2018 and was engaged since January 2024, were married at the Adriano's Events Place and Prayer Garden in Tagaytay.[7][8]
