Masculados is an all-boy group of the Philippines. Derived from the name Masculados, the group composed of seven sexy, masculine male with matching good-looking faces. This group is not in singing but good in dancing as well.

Showbusiness is not new to him for he appeared in cameo roles of the movies “Ang Kabit Ni Mrs. Montero”, starring Patricia Javier and “Halik Sa Lupa” with Allona Amor and Jeffrey Santos. Another member is the group is Bok Brilliantes. Aside from being a Masculado, he is a registered nurse. If things turned out bad, he still has a fallback career. Kirot Amarati has a Spanish and Pakistani descent. Being a ramp and commercial model, he already has 15 TV commercials including Mama Cita and Super Dry Beer. Prior to his decision to become a Masculado, he had his hosting sting for 17 months with the Master Showman. This fourth member is of the shy type. He is Omar Principe and is a ramp model. Though of the shy type, Omar can sing and dance with pleasure. Lexter Lazaro is a graduate of Business Administration. Acting and modelling were his part-time jobs. Some of his past projects were under Direk Maryo. He is considered the “livewire’ of the group. Another ramp model is Robin Robel.
