Sen. Chiz Escudero Considered Joining PBB Celebrity Edition

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?

Kuya's Fairy Godmothers Grant Wishes in PBB Unlimited

The remaining housemates suffered and fought back against the oppressive Don Baron and Donya Beauty last week, but this time, they are in for a treat as three former PBB Big Winners named as ‘Kuya’s Fairy Godmothers’ (KFGs) entered the famous house to make their wishes come true this week in Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited.

What will the housemates ask from former PBB Big Winners Nene Tamayo (Season 1), Beatriz Saw (Season 2), and Keanna Reeves (Celebrity Edition)? Aside from granting their requests, the KFGs will also give joy, inspiration, and encouragement to the remaining housemates who will battle for the four slots in the Big Night to be held at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila on March 31 (Saturday).

Meanwhile, housemates Biggel, Carlo, Divine, at Slater are on the chopping block this week, and one of them will be losing the chance to enter the Big Four. The nominee who garnered the lowest percentage of votes in the overnight voting held yesterday will leave the Big Brother house in the eviction night on Saturday (Mar 17).

Big Brother continues to pull unlimited surprises as the housemates are split into two groups – Biggel, Pamu, and Tin remained in the ‘hacienda,’ while Carlo, Divine, and Slater, and house player Paco returned to the mansion. Last week’s tough physical tasks brought out the bold and brave in them, but more challenges loom for the housemates in their last three weeks in the house.

Meanwhile, the Dreamboy of California Kevin was finally evicted last Saturday (Mar 10) for garnering the lowest percentage of public votes (22.56%) against Carlo (24.56%), Biggel (25.02%), and Tin (27.86%). He left the house with Seiichi, who was named evictee last week.

Don’t miss the exciting developments in the season’s last three 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.
