MARK BAUTISTA (born in August 10, 1983) is a Filipino singer and actor. He was a finalist of Philippine reality show Star For A Night and eventually placed second behind Sarah Geronimo.

He has four siblings (an older brother, a sister and 2 younger brothers). He wanted to help his family especially after his dad stopped working due to his condition, so he started joining singing competitions. With the cash prizes he won at the competitions, he was able to help his parents through their financial difficulties.

Mark used to be shy but gradually overcame it during his high school years especially after he joined the band called "Voizemale". They had various gigs in Cagayan De Oro and mostly covered the popular hits of Earth, Wind, & Fire and Backstreet Boys. He further developed his confidence by joining in various singing competitions.

Close friends of Mark persuaded him to audition a singing contest of ABS-CBN's MTB. While that wasn't his calling to stardom, he continued to sing and to improve his singing skills. His distinct voice and singing style have earned him recognition as performer/entertainer.

As of June 2008, Mark has confessed his courting intentions towards Sarah Geronimo, a fellow singer. They had been together since Star for a Night 2004 where Mark placed second against her. He is aware of Sarah's strict focus on her career and he is willing to take the challenge of having a relationship with her.

Near the end of June 2008, Sarah put a barrier and said she has no intentions of falling in love with Mark. She stated that Mark is only an older brother to her and nothing more. Accordingly, rumors are spreading that Sarah is beginning to be overwhelmed by the lights of show business and is forgetting to live up to her wholesome image.
