They came, they saw, they will soon conquer!

Thousands of people flocked the ABS-CBN auditions for Pinoy Big Brother and Pinoy Dream Academy at the Island City Mall last Friday, April 17, all aiming for a shot of fame.

Network executives said that there were a total of 4,223 auditionees, coming from as far north as Baguio, and from as far as south as Basilan, all aspiring to make the final cut of 14 housemates in the four-month telecast of the popular reality TV show.

Mall security personnel reported that as early as 1 AM Friday, people had begun lining up at the carpark. Most of the applicants were young ones wanting to be the next teen housemate and follow the footsteps of Gerald Anderson, Matt Evans, Robi Domingo, and first PBB Teen winner Kim Chiu.

A 17-year-old girl from Cebu, Irene Bacalzo, headed straight to Island City Mall after she disembarked from the ferry Friday dawn. It is her childhood dream to become an artista like her kababayan idol Kim Chiu. Ramp model Francis James Padilla, a 16-year-old look-alike of Rayver Cruz, flew all the way from Manila a day before the audition to pursue his ambition in showbiz.

Fil-Am Jonathan Henson, a 30-year-old computer programmer residing in LA, took the chance to audition while on a vacation here. A 32-year-old father of two, Junie Recedillo from Davao, also confessed that he sees PBB as an opportunity to help his family. His wife's earnings from selling fruits and vegetables in the market used it as his pabaon in coming to Bohol to try his luck in the audition. Lilibeth Teron, a 28-year old daughter of a public school teacher, made a trip from Camiguin, via Jagna, just to audition.

On the other hand, 15-year-old Rita Carmel Mariquit of San Carlos City, Negros Oriental, traveled via Dumaguete City to audition here, despite suffering from a migraine and a high fever. She was able to audition but she collapsed after. A standby medical team immediately whisked her to the nearest hospital where she recovered later.
         

Direk Lauren Dyogi took much time until 11 PM Friday to search for that elusive "unique personality" among the auditionees for PBB, while voice mentor Monet Silvestre was behind the selection for PDA scholars. There were 30 auditionees in the PBB (Season 3 and Teens) who made it to the final shortlist, and will soon compete for one last time with the rest coming from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, before making it to the final list of housemates ni Kuya. The results of the PDA will still be known tomorrow.

For all the celebrity wannabes, millions of pesos in cash and prizes are at stake in the said reality TV shows, plus the grandeur of becoming a celebrity.

ABS-CBN thanks the Island City Mall, the City Government of Tagbilaran, City PNP, Bureau of Fire Protection, The Peacock Garden, Grand Luis Lodge, Bohol Tropics Resort, Bo's Coffee Club, The Prawn Farm, Nescafe, The Buzzz Café, Jollibee, Dunkin Donuts, Chowking, Allison's Seafoods Park & Restaurant, Yul Fernandez, Ahongs, Coralandia, Bohol Coconut Palms Resort, Bai's, Mayeth Gulles, and Summit Mineral Water for being a part of success of the auditions.

hinaut unta og naay nakuhang taga Bohol pero dili pa man sad mahibaw-an nato karon kay confidential man, anha pa man mahibaw-an pagbukas sa bahay ni kuya.

unsa namn ang update ani?

naa nay mga finalists nga mga taga-bohol para sa PBB. pero pili-an pa pud. Wala ko kabalo sa PDA.

Dili ko ganahan motan-aw og PBB. Feeling nako mura tag-Peeping Tom ani. Voyeur.

ni audition ka day?
unsa diay imo talent kay kami na lng mo judge 

The information has not yet been released to the media. as soon as we get it I will try my best to post if anyone was lucky enough to win it in Bohol from Bohol.

hangga't ndi pa nag-umpisa ang PBB hindi pa nila pwedeng sabihin kung sinu-sino ang mga napiling housemates at sa mga pinalad na housemates mahigpit na pinagbabawal na hindi nila pwedeng sabihin kahit kanino dahil yan ay isa sa mga patakaran ng pamunuan ng PBB.

Attention: Swakee ug Janjan - - - sa 14 nga nakuha from Bohol, naa kunoy 3 nga taga inyo diha sa Loon. Taga Taytay, Cogon Norte ug Catagbacan. Hope na lang mo nga bisa'g ma top 40 na lang sila sa PBB.

Attention Janjan ug Swakee: One of the three Loonanons nga naapil sa 14 ka buok nga nakapasar sa Bohol auditions is the current Miss University of Bohol nga si Mylene A. Pedroso. (Ang current Mr. UB taga inyo pud. Roslinda ang apelyido, taga Sandingan.) Mylene was Miss Loon first runner-up in 2007. She was also 2007 Island City Mall Calendar Girl, besting 11 other girls of the month.  She is presently a second year working student at the Registrar's Office. Buotan ni nga bata. Class president ni siya pag high school. Gawas nga gwapa ug buotan, nindot ni siya'g tingog, as in tig-apil syag mga singing contests ug mo entertain sa mga public functions for a fee, panggastos sa pag-eskwela. Taga Taytay iyang mama, taga Canmanoc iyang papa, both upland barangays of Loon.

Maka gwapa jud tingali ning mga mudcrabs (alimango). Daghan man ni kaayo sa Mabini.   Labi na nang aligi . . . wow kalami!

known na jod ang Bohol karon e compare  saunang panahon nga hastang lajoa ra jod sa kabihasnan.

Naa bay taga TB nga miapil sa Pinoy Big brothers?

In the house na ni Kuya karon ang taga Bohol. Her name is Cathy if Im not wrong and a registered nurse.

Cathy Remperas from Loay.

according to her bio, she is originally from zamboanga being born and raised there. it was because she searched for her father that led her finally to settle in Bohol. Though the search was successful, the reunion was not quite as expected. They found their father with another family, where they have four half-siblings. This discovery hindered them from ever really mending their relationship. Her need for a father figure probably plays a part in her choice of men. Cathy tends to gravitate towards men her senior, whom she feels can take care of her. Her most recent relationship was even with a man 16 years older than her.

So, Bol-anon gyud diay iyang kaliwat. Common man diri sa Bohol nang apelyido nga Remperas.

Gravitate towards much older men? Mora'g si Kris A?
