Slater Young To Live His Showbiz Dream

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young, a licensed civil engineer, had decided to try his luck in showbiz after winning PBB. The 24-year old Cebuano considers himself more of an actor than a dancer or singer.

Slater revealed in his PEP interview that he will undergo acting workshops to prepare himself for future projects and according his handlers, Slater shows great potential in his past workshops and acting exercises.

Dancing is really Slater's waterloo and described it as his Achilles' heel. He said that he would rather sing than dance in a production number.

Slater knew that being in showbiz is so much harder than what he had been through inside Kuya’s house, but he said that he is willing to give his all to his dream of joining showbiz.

Slater was overwhelmed with the overflowing support he had received from the time he was still inside until now that he's been proclaimed Big Winner in the said reality show. There are fans craving for his tandem with his closest friends inside the house, Divine (SlaVine) and Tin (SlaTin) whom Slater admitted he has a crush with.

Although very thankful, a forward-looking Slater knows that a lot of work is still at hand. The PBB Unlimited Big Winner and the very first male winner in a regular edition said that he intends to work extra hard to be worthy of the support he have been blessed with.

Last night, Slater and the rest of the Big 4 appeared in a production number during the PBB Teens 4 'Fun-Tastic Kick off.' With new housemates entering the house (and possible competitions), Slater confessed that he feel pressured but he will just focus on the things that he could work on - and do his best.

Paco 'came out' to Tin, Discovered by Slater

After successfully uncovering wildcard housemate Paco’s supposed homosexuality, a made-up lie he confessed to Tin, Big Brother challenged Slater to turn the tables on Paco and test his patience, a task successfully carried out by Paco as a house player.

Former evictee Paco, who was reconfirmed as an official housemate last weekend in “Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited,” had earlier ‘came out’ to Tin as a part of his house player duty. This week, will Slater prove to be as daring as Paco and be able to infuriate him?

Eleven days before the much-anticipated Big Night, Biggel, Divine, Paco, Pamu, Slater, and Tin have been tasked by Big Brother to complete a nonstop entertainment challenge where they have to come up with unlimited performances in 48 hours. The next evictee of the season will also be revealed this Saturday (Mar 24) in the program’s 14th eviction night.

Meanwhile, the Chicago native Carlo was evicted last Saturday (Mar 17) after garnering the lowest percentage of votes (18.54%) against Divine (21.01%), Slater (26.79%), and Biggel (33.67%). Carlo, meanwhile, expressed that he wants either Pamu or Carlo to become the Big Winner because of all the troubles they have so far endured in life.

Admission is free to people who want to watch the “PBB Unlimited: Big Night at the Grandstand” at the Quirino Grandstand in Maynila live next Saturday (Mar 31).

Don’t miss the exciting developments in the season’s last two weeks in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay” with Bianca Gonzalez weekdays after “Angelito: Batang Ama” in Kapamilya Gold and in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliNight” with Toni Gonzaga weeknights after “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” in Primetime Bida.
