Specifically, the Formula 1 race car driver is targeting millennials, “I’ve been doing a lot of work for the Philippines, always being an advocate. More importantly, [I want to know] how to target the new millennial and digital market that is emerging, especially in our sports.”

The 27-year-old athlete makes sure that he is living an active and balanced lifestyle to keep up with his sport and life in general.

He said on Unang Hirit, "I always train [because] I’m an athlete so having the wellness and looking after your health [is important]. Life is about that, it’s not as easy when you get older as well, and that’s the struggle every athlete has. [Also, have] a moment in a day to relax or enjoy with your friends or with your partner.”

Besides car racing, Marlon is open to opportunities he can explore in the entertainment industry as well as in other sports.
