Career

Sometime in 2008, Vic Del Rosario of VIVA media franchise decided to form a boyband under his recording company VIVA Records, which became known as XLR8.[3] Several members joined and left but the last to seal the final eight members was commercial model, aspiring actor and VIVA's contract talent Muhlach.[4]

In early 2011, Viva Records confirmed that XLR8 members Hideaki Torio and Muhlach would be temporarily leaving the group to film the new TV series Bagets: Just Got Lucky which aired on TV5.[5] Because of this, GMA, the channel that is responsible for broadcasting Party Pilipinas, had temporarily suspended the two members from performing at any GMA-sponsored events and allowed them to perform at any non-GMA sponsored events.[5] Until the members finished filming the series, substitutes would be taking their places performing on Party Pilipinas. MM and MJ were later featured on KMJS in 2016.[6][7]

In 2017 Muhlach received his biggest acting break when he was cast as the lead role in the action movie Double Barrel.[8]

Personal life

Muhlach is the half-brother of actor Aga Muhlach,[9] and the first cousin of Niño Muhlach, also an actor.[10] His father is Alvaro Muhlach (1947–2018).[11] He married his girlfriend Anna Mabasa on May 20, 2019.[12]
