This years Araw ng Dabaw, the 13 PBB Housemates visited the Dabawenyos. During the presscon I got to know them better. The nice part is that they are as real as what we see them inside the PBB House.

Take thirteen ordinary Filipinos with high hopes to become famous. Place them under one roof for one hundred days and there your you have it, the Pinoy Big Brother 13 Housemates invading the primetime television.

After the PBB Fever, what keeps them busy?

The JB-Say loveteam will be having a movie with Judy Santos and Ryan Agoncillo while Jason is part of Judy Ann and Piolo’s soap, Sa Piling Mo.

Sensitive Hunk Rico Barrera starred in Gulong ng Palad soap, while Say and Chx are regulars in Studio 23’s news gag show Wazzup Wazzup.

Our very own Cass is already shooting for the new season of Komiks wherein she portrays as Valentina while her loveteam Uma is one of the segment hosts of Megastar’s show , Sharon.

The most successful housemate of all is Sam Milby because he already had a box-office film with Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd, Close To You. He also had his first self-titled album. Enjoying his loads of commercial endorsements and an upcoming soap opera.

As the teleserye ng totoong buhay continues, PBB is in the search for another lucky housemates to experience Pinoy Showbiz. But before that happens let’s get to know more about the 1^st Pinoy Big Brother 13 Housemates.

Southern Living happens to interview all of them during a press meeting prior to their show at the SM Entertainment Plaza, here are some Q and A:

To Nene, some says you don’t deserve to win because you always play safe in the game, what is your reaction?

Nene: First time kong narinig yan ng personal, Hindi natin sila masisisi dahil hindi naman natin ma-please and lahat ng tao di ba?

Who’s your bet for the Celebrity Edition?

13 PBB Housemates: Si Keana!

Nene: Oo, kay Keana talaga kami dahil hindi namin inasahan na ganun pala siya at napaka-totoong tao niya.

During the 100 days, there were three popular loveteams, what’s new?

Say: Kami ni JB ayaw namin ang term na loveteam kahit nung nasa loob pa kami ng PBB house dahil yung nangyari sa amin sa loob, totoo yun.

Uma: Kami naman ni Cass were more than friends but less than lovers.

Nene: Sa totoo lang, mas nakagaanan ko na ng loob si Bob.

Bob: Ang maganda lang sa amin, hindi namin minamadali and isa’t-isa

JB: Pero alam niyo(Talking to the press), si Nene lumambot na, hindi na nanuntok.

Cass: Si Bob, laging pumupunta sa bahay niNene!

To Chx, are you still attracted to Sam until now?

Chx: I was attractive to him before , pero hindi na ngayon because he changed.

To Sam, what d you think about Chx when you entered the PBB House?
Sam: I like her, inside the house we’re really getting close but then she left.

What’s the real score between you and Toni Gonzaga?
Sam: We are friends, we’re pretty close.

To Rachel, you were the Ate of the group now outside the house do you still act as the elder sister ?

Rachel: Oo, naman inaalagaan ko pa rin sila, hindi naman talaga nagbago nung lumabas na kami ng bahay.

What’s the lesson you’ve learned in the PBB?

Nene: Obeying the rules!

Jason: Siguro, yung pagpapahalaga, tayo sa bahay hindi natin masyado pinahahalagahan yung mga malilit na bagay, pero laking bagay pala yun kung mawawala na.

What is your reaction, that people prefers your season rather than the Celebrity Edition because they find your show more exciting?

Uma: Oo totoo yun, kasi sikat na kasi sila at alam na natin kung ano sila.

JB: Kaya siguro naging exciting yung amin, kasi kami din ang nauna.

What do you think is the best strategy in order to stay longer in the PBB House?

Franzen: Kami wala naman kaming strategy, siguro ang best strategy talaga ay ang pagsunod sa mga utos ni Big Brother.

What is your message to the Dabawenyos?

Jason: Ang mga taga-Davao at Taga-Batangas pare-pareho lang ang korte ng mukha natin kaya ang gaganda at and ga-gwapo ng mga Dabawenyo.

Uma: Ang linis ng Davao, grabe!

Jenny: Mabuhay Davao!
