Co-Founder: Phillip Roduta - Known for his ability to produce any random subject matter into a ludicrous work of art, Phillip leads this unusual group of Filipinos through his assertive and aggressive personality. His initiative to making people laugh is more frequent, as opposed to his two partners Jeff and Andrew. In the words of Phillip, "It’s Good."
Founder: Jeff Cachero - Plays a role by knowing how to harness the teams spontaneous comical combustions, regulating the media from being a little too foolish. Jeff edits and puts together the Bastos Media during his freetime to bring you the material presented to you today. Jeff also possesses an instinctive need to make those around him laugh; putting a smile on people’s faces is what puts a smile on his.
Co-Founder: Andrew Cachero - Andrew is the original inspiration of this group; he was the first to star in the first couple of homemade movies later to be known as Bastos Episodes. Andrew gives off this unintentional humor that seems to amuse those who are around him. His natural carefree and playful attitude makes him the loveable giant in the team.

Members
The Ba-boys/TT’s:
Mark Navo: Clever with his words and slick with his jokes, Mark’s random outbursts and hilarious stories of his personal experiences makes him well over qualified for the team. Doesn’t he look kinda like Jesus?
Milbert Tumaliuan: a DJ and music major who leads the Bastos Team’s sub-group "The TT’s." He can twist an inferior piece of subject matter, and turn it into huge pile of quantum shit. His mixed humor and multitalents makes him an undeniable addition to the group.
Robert Tumaliuan: Silent but deadly. He may seem quiet, but he can pack some pretty absurd jokes. A great team player and always comes up with ingenius ideas to revolutionize our team’s material.
Gilbert Tumaliuan: Our youngest member in the team, but don’t count him out! Another excellent team player who contributes to the creative power of the TT’s, trust in him and he’ll give you a good laugh.
Ian Dipasupil: The Leader of the Ba-Boys and B-Tunes; Also one of our MVP. Throw a little "Ian" in and you got a comedy coalition ready to bring the house down. Ian is a rather assertive guy, who isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
Thomas Roduta: Has an addicting laugh and can utilize sarcasm that goes beyond comprehension, literally. If you’re a fan of the smell of rotten eggs, feel free to join him in a non-ventilated room after he has a hearty gas building meal.
Paul Basco: Representing Dallas, Texas, he may be number 13, but this one isn’t unlucky! A pinoy who will do almost anything and is an extreme daredevil on the road - he is Paul "The Bastos" Basco.
Bastos Femme Fatales:
Stephanie Cachero: Stephanie seems to have an unorthodox type of humor. It can range from insults to irrational jokes, whatever the case is - she’d try to make a wisecrack. Her spontaneous humor is questionable, but helping out the team in it’s journey to immortality - that is irrefutable.
Kimberly Roduta: Another one of those people who has that addicting laugh that you can’t help but to join in on. Not afraid to sneer outloud or humiliate herself in public. This is the type of outgoing behavior that is priceless, and we are proud to say that she is on our team.
Mickey Orda: From an enjoyable family, Mickey can tolerate and enjoy antics of the Bastos Boys. Though sweet natured, she’s open to engage in new ways to make our material even more laughable.
Power Rangers: Bastos

The B-Tunes: Among the many talents that each Bastos Team member possesses, the team has organized a musical sub-group called the B-tunes. As of now, the team is under a work in progress - they all have yet to collaborate their musical talents together.
