Joaquin Lucas Miguel Saavedra Reyes (born October 28, 2000) is a Filipino actor, singer and songwriter. He was a member of Gimme 5 an all-boy group in the Philippines that was signed under ABS-CBN, Star Magic and Star Music.
Joaquin Reyes made his first acting stint in Muling Buksan Ang Puso where he plays young Leonel Beltran, the younger version of Enchong Dee's character. After a lot of stints & guestings, that particular episode made his break through the walls of the TV industry. He shared that since his appearance from the show, Star Magic immediately kept in touch with them. He also shared that, after few months since he appeared, he guested on Minute to Win It along with not knowingly his soon-to-be group mates, Grae Fernandez & Brace Arquiza. Joaquin described that they went through make overs, trainings & other preparations while being clueless that they were going to be formed as a group. Currently, he is a member of Gimme 5.
Reyes, before joining Gimme 5, has done various commercials including his very first commercial 'drumline' from Milo. Since then, Joaquin did many commercials until he slowly entered the TV industry. One of his first lead roles was in an episode of Jollitown. In Season 4, Episode 10, he portrayed "Jason" who doesn't have any patience to learn things. At first, he never thought of being a celebrity or anything that is in the show business. He admits that when he joined the group didn't know what to do as things paced by quickly.
Joaquin said that the life of being in a boy group for him is very fun. He said much changed since the moment they were launched. He described it as one of the best things you can do, having fun with your work.
Reyes wrote a song for their second album 'Sophomore'. He said that both he and Nash submitted around 3-4 of their songs, and the management picked one each. 'Hindi Ko Alam' is the title of the song that Joaquin wrote. They often joke about the title of the song on their shows asking each other what the next song is. He shares a 'not so typical' story on how he wrote the song which has also no way to do with the lyrics. On his international musical influences, he mentioned various bands in different interviews including, The Beatles, One Direction, Bee Gees, Imagine Dragons. For his local influence, he said his music is heavily influenced "Eraserheads", especially Ely Buendia since many of The Heads' songs are written by Buendia.
In 2013, the band debuted on ASAP 18 where they performed The Wanted's "Glad You Came". The group admits to not being good singers. Nash even describes his voice as "parang pinunit na maong" but still, they proved their worth. Since then, the group improved themselves as singers, dancers and models. Their following on social media had grown since.
In November 2014, Gimme 5 released their self-titled debut album under Star Music. They also starred in the TV series Bagito alongside Ella Cruz, Angel Aquino, and Nash Aguas which ended in March 2015. The group were interviewed by Myx on how they got their group name and was supposedly named "baby boys" which they found "baduy".
After the TV series Bagito they resumed their album tour which was slowed down due to the TV Series. Non-stop sold out album tours were held in different places in the Philippines, giving their fans a chance to watch them perform live. The group also shared in an interview with PUSH a memorable fan experience in Albay Astrodome in Legazpi. They first won an award in June 2015, as "Most Promising Recording/Performing Group" in 46th GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards.

Before they ended their tour, they shared what they mostly do before they start the show. After a year of touring, their final leg was held in Dagupan on May 7, 2016. After their final leg, they decided to lean on acting as individuals. In June 2016, Star Music and Gimme 5 announced that the group will release a second album for their fans. Aguas said in an interview that some of the songs will be written by them.
