Aspiring Housemates Flock to Quezon City for Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Auditions

Quezon City, Manila – Thousands of hopefuls gathered before sunrise, with dreams in their hearts and determination in their eyes, queuing around a well-known mall in Quezon City for a shot at becoming one of the next residents of the Philippines’ most famous house. The auditions mark a significant return to on-ground screenings for Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) after a six-year hiatus.

PBB Auditions Draw Massive Crowds

An estimated 4,000 individuals had already registered for the auditions, with the lines extending beyond view. Long before the doors opened, many spent the night outside the venue to ensure their chance to impress the scouting team and become part of the PBB family.

Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN Head of TV Production and Star Magic chief, acknowledged the overwhelming turnout: “This marks our return on-ground after 6 years. The past days, we were worried if people will come. But it turns out we have a long day ahead,” he remarks, his optimism mirroring the energy of the bustling crowd.

A “Blank Canvas” for Unique Talents

Dyogi has expressed a desire for diversity and uniqueness in this year’s batch of PBB housemates. He is open to discovering the unpredictable: “I do not dictate because I am open to whoever comes. We find the person who makes the season exciting,” he explains.

Dreams Across Islands

The auditions attracted people from various backgrounds and regions. Bornok Garcia, from Antique, shared his sentiments: “This is a big opportunity, even if I don’t win at least I tried.”

Another hopeful, Jana from Masbate, talked about her first-time experience: “It is worth it. I wanted to experience what it’s like to audition.”

Filipino-American Cochran, who traveled all the way from California, joined the auditions with a mission to integrate her mental health advocacy within the PBB experience: “There is always sacrifice whenever you have something you really want. I would say it is worth it,” she mused.

Aspirations Beyond Entertainment

Beyond becoming TV personalities, some aspirants carried personal advocacies. John Mark Atienza, a person with disability, held a mission larger than himself: “I want to show that PWDs are not just handicapped…I want to…proclaim that just because there are shortcomings, it doesn’t mean we stop moving forward.”

Others like aspiring P-pop idols Leoneth Cabarle and Kathleen Bulaon found inspiration in the success of BINI, the Nation’s Girl Group, to chase after their own dreams.

Looking for More than a Housemate

Encouraging other Filipinos to partake in the auditions, Dyogi revealed that they are not only searching for housemates but also for budding stars to join Star Magic and Star Hunt.

Dismissing rumored pre-selections, Dyogi emphasizes the integrity of the audition process: “We will not spend time, energy, and money to mount [the auditions] if we already picked…Do not believe social media.”

Remaining Vigilant Against Fake Auditions

To protect applicants from scams, he urged the public to rely only on official sources for audition information. The correct schedule and guidelines are shared exclusively through PBB’s official social media accounts.

Pinoy Big Brother will continue to be accessible to audiences nationwide, as the show airs in July across A2Z, TV5, KapCha, IwantTFC, and via livestream on Kapamilya Online Live through their FB and Youtube platforms.

The ABS-CBN executive’s statement not only brings assurance to hopefuls but also excitement for the fans eagerly awaiting the new season of the much-beloved PBB. As dreams converge on the grounds of the auditions, the anticipation build for what promises to be an enthralling new season.
