Diego Llorico

Diego Llorico, known mononymously as Diego, is a Filipino actor, segment producer and comedian. He is known for his appearances on the comedy films Boy Pick-Up: The Movie and D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers Weh?! (2012), and the television comedy sketch gag show Bubble Gang.

Career Llorico began his career in Philippine television in 1995 after friends working on the variety shows Vilma! and an ABC-5 (now TV5) program invited him to work as a production assistant. He later joined GMA Network, where he a met coordinator and television host German "Kuya Germs" Moreno. According to Llorico, he was eventually encouraged to remain with the network and was hired as a production assistant for Bubble Gang, marking the beginning of his long association with the sketch comedy program.

Although he initially worked behind the scenes, Llorico later became an associate producer of Bubble Gang.

Llorico's transition from production staff to on-screen performer happened after the show's writers and cast needed assistance with a sketch involving gay lingo. He was asked to participate in the segment and subsequently became a cast member. He later described becoming part of Bubble Gang as one of the greatest fulfillments of his life.

In a 2016 interview, Llorico said that he had never expected to remain with Bubble Gang for so many years, expressing gratitude that he had been part of the program since his days as a production assistant.

Llorico became known for his different facial features, particularly his prominent lips, which inspired recurring comedy segments such as Lips to Lips Battle and At Lit on Bubble Gang.

In 2022, GMA Network announced changes to the cast of Bubble Gang, with Llorico no longer listed as a cast member. He clarified in an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal that he harbored no ill feelings over the decision, saying that he remained with the program as its associate producer—the position in which he had originally started—and continued to make occasional cameo appearances when needed.
