Rico Barrera (born Frederick Barrera on December 29, 1984) is a Filipino actor, the first housemate evicted from the 12 housemates of ''
Pinoy Big Brother'' on 2005.
Prior to entering the house, Barrera was a singer in Japan. He was the first housemate evicted, on his 21st day in Pinoy Big Brother's house. Among the violations that put him automatically into nomination were jumping into the pool while still wearing his lapel microphone and accidentally causing a pan to catch a flame, setting off the fire alarm.
After ''PPB'', He became a flight steward and now a businessman. He became part of FrontRow International last 2012 and now belongs to Millionaires Club of FrontRow.
Barrera reportedly transferred to GMA 7 from ABS-CBN 2 last August 2009, due to his no projects of Kapamilya Network. He has now launched his first Kapuso Network TV show, ''Sine Novela Presents: Tinik Sa Dibdib''. He was the second ex-PBB housemate transferred to GMA 7 after fellow ex-housemate
Say Alonzo also transferred to GMA since 2008. But he returned to Kapamilya Network in 2010 and he is one of the cast of ''
Magkano ang Iyong Dangal?''.
