==Career==
From doing smaller roles in movies such as ''Isprikitik, Walastik Kung Pumitik'' (1999) and ''Juan & Ted: Wanted'' (2000), Dagul gained even more exposure when he became Long Mejia's sparring partner in GMA's sitcom ''[[Kool Ka Lang]]'' (2001).
When Mejia transferred to ABS-CBN, Dagul followed him to the new station. Mejia became a regular co-host of [[Willie Revillame]]'s ''Masayang Tanghali Bayan'', while Dagul made guest appearances.
After the tandem split up, Dagul, became a mainstay of the sitcom ''[[Ok Fine Whatever]]'' (2003) and ''Goin' Bulilit'' where he was the only adult in the children's Sunday gag show. Dagul was the only original cast member of ''Goin' Bulilit'' to remain in its entire run until 2019, as [[List of Goin' Bulilit cast members|the children cast members]] "graduated" from the show once they became teenagers.<ref name="showbizportal">{{cite news|title=Dagul Will Be The Only Cast Member Of 'Goin Bulilit' Who'Ll Never Graduate From The Show|url=http://www.showbiz-portal.com/2013/02/dagul-will-be-only-cast-member-of-goin.html|accessdate=14 March 2016|work=Showbiz Portal|date=1 February 2013|language=English, Filipino|archive-date=14 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314104635/http://www.showbiz-portal.com/2013/02/dagul-will-be-only-cast-member-of-goin.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
