Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero considered becoming a housemate of the hit reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother during the show's very first celebrity edition in 2006 according to host Bianca Gonzalez.
In her column '10 Things you should know about' for The Philippine Star, Bianca wrote an article entitled 'How Chiz Escudero almost ended up on Pinoy Big Brother' published July 22. The said article revealed several things about Sen. Chiz Escudero, including his attempt to be one of Kuya's housemates.
Here is an excerpt from Bianca Gonzalez's Philstar article.
He did the screenings, he did the interviews, and was seriously considering becoming a housemate. When he told the show’s unit head Lauren Dyogi that he’ll first consult with his wife, direk Lauren answers laughing: “Saan ka makakakita ng asawa hindi gugustuhin makita at malaman ang ginagawa mo 24/7?”
Bianca Gonzalez was also a housemate during the very first PBB Celebrity Edition where she emerged as the 3rd Big Placer. The said edition was won by sexy actress Keanna Reeves. John Prats and Zanjoe Marudo completed the Big 4 that time.
The said edition also became memorable with actor Rustom Padilla coming out of the closet and told Keanna that he was gay. Later, he will be called BB Gandanghari.
If Sen. Chiz Escudero entered the PBB house during that edition, don't you think it will be more exciting?
