Pilita Junior? Apr 2, '08 2:50 PM

Diva-divahan si Ate Rona today ha! Kaninang nagdidiscuss ang ibang housemates tungkol sa binyagang naganap, deadma lang si Rona at pakanta-kanta lang while strumming the guitar. From church songs to pop songs, tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagmomoment nito, kaya naman mamaya ay nakisali na rin si Nikki. Aba, maganda naman pala ang voice mo, Nikki, wish ko lang magsalita ka naman more! Common hobby yata ng girls ang singing dahil matapos ang performance nila for Kuya, kahit a capella nalang ay kinakanta pa rin nila ang theme song nila. Maya-maya pa ay si Valerie naman ang ka-duet ni Rona, at ala-Pilita naman ang ate ng lahat na akala mo’y walang buto sa likod kung maka-lean back. With matching imaginary mic pa!

Seven Musketeers! Apr 2, '08 2:49 PM

Inamin na ng boys sa girls ang secret ng cross-dressing nila. But first, in-explain muna ni Josef ang reasons behind it: na hindi uso sa Italy ang tuli, that it’s a culture thing lang talaga sa Pinas at hindi naman medical requirement, na kaya lahat sila ay nakapalda ay dahil nakikiisa sila sa pinagdadaanan ni Alex. ‘Ika nga ng Three Musketeers, “All for one and one for all!” Kahit nagtatawanan ang lahat dahil nag-joke ang boys na no briefs on sila, serious ang condition ng boys: dapat maging normal pa rin ang pag trato nila kay Alex, dahil nakakahiya nga naman ang pinagdadaanan ng bagong binata. No need to ask, boys, dahil love din naman ng girls si Alex at ayaw nilang ma-hurt ito.

Kutob powers win again! Apr 2, '08 2:47 PM

Hindi mapakali ang girls sa boys in skirts, at feeling nila na talagang isa lang ang nagpatuli sa mga ito. To settle the issue, nagbotohan pa sila. They were choosing between Ejay, Jolas and Josef. But no, mali ang hula ng girls. Isa lang ang lucky winner. Gumana nanaman ang investigating skills at kutob powers ni Bubbly Girl! Kaya naman pala, super praktisado sa boyfriend niya, na lagi niyang nahuhuli kapag may nagawang bad. Dahil sa correct nanaman siya, lalong napatunayan ni Jieriel sa sarili na malakas talaga ang potential ng mga feelings niya sa mga bagay. Naku, para sa boy ni Jieriel: Be good! Alam na, may kutob powers ito!

Alex hides the pain! Apr 2, '08 3:03 AM

Kahit na itinatago ni Alex ang nararamdaman, halata na hindi mapakali ang binata. Ang ibang boys nakikipagkuwentuhan na sa girls samantala ang bago nating binata, hindi makapagsalita! Nakadikit halos kay Mommy Minda at may malalim na pinaguusapan. Nagaalala na ata siya kung paano na kapag nawala ang anesthesia? Ang mga girls naman panay ang kulit sa boys kung naka underwear ba sila. Si Jolas nagdemo pa at tumalikod para ipakita na wala nga siyang underwear. Para matakasan ang pagdidiskubre ng girls, nagtago ang boys sa kwarto. Mahalata nga kaya ng mga girls ito? Good luck sa pagtatago boys!

The boy is now a man! Apr 2, '08 1:21 AM

Tapos na ang masalimuot na proseso na pinakaaantay ni Alex! Ang Italian Valentino, binata na! Habang nagbibigay ng cooking lessons si Mommy Minda sa girls, lumabas ang boys na nakapila at nakapalda. Ang lakad pa nila ay parang sila lahat ay dumaan sa ilalim ng kutsilyo. Mukhang itinatago ng boys na si Alex ang totoong nagpatuli para hindi mapahiya ang bagong binata. Ang girls naman hindi mapigilang matawa at mag-usyoso. Si Jieriel nagkaroon ng ideya kung ano ito, kasi naman daw "tuli month" kaya baka sila lahat ay nagpatuli.

Tinanong nila si Mommy Minda kung si Alex daw ba ay tuli na. Pinagtakpan ang anak at ang sagot: hindi ko alam, bakit sa girls ba tinatanong kung may ano [period] na?

Napatahimik ang girls at nakalusot si Mommy Minda! Hinuhulaan nila kung sino ba sa nakapaldang lalaki ang nagpatuli. Hindi daw si Ejay kasi diretso maglakad. Si Robi naman nirereverse psychology ang mga housemates kaya nagpresentang ipakita. Baka ma MTRCB tayo niyan!

Abangan ang kakatwang episode na ito mamaya sa Uber at sa Primetime Bida!

Beauty admits to being the ultimate princess Apr 2, '08 12:33 AM

Inamin ni Beauty na spoiled siya ng parents niya! Nahihiya man ang Rebellious Beauty ng Dumaguete, ikinuwento pa rin niya ito kay Mommy Minda. Ipinapakita niya kung gaano siya kamahal ng magulang niya. Gawa-gawa naman niya talaga ang mga ipinoproblema niya. Sa murang edad na 16, nagawa na niya ang lahat, pati na rin ang mga bagay na hindi niya naisip gawin. Ito na rin ang dahilan kung bakit hindi siya nakamartsa nung graduation nila. Lumayas siya at nung umuwi siya, imbis na abot langit na sermon ang sumalubong sa kaniya, aba naman at may brand new cellphone pa siya! Ganoon talaga siya ka-spoiled sabi niya. Kaya sabi ng Mommy niya na kailangang makahanap siya ng lalaki na ibibigay lahat ng luho niya. Sabi naman ng dalaga, kung wala siyang mahanap na ganoong mapapangasawa, magboboyfriend na lang siya for inspiration.

Pero not all spice ang Rebellious Beauty. Sweet at malambing siya sa Daddy niya. Kaya naman hindi makaalis ang dad niya nang dahil sa kaniya. Ang gusto naman talaga ng mga magulang ay maging malambing ang anak at hindi matigas ang ulo. Pero dahil nagbabago na ang teen housemate na si Beauty, pride and joy na talaga siya ng magulang niya.

A motherly advice on enjoying life Apr 2, '08 12:04 AM

Tuloy ang bonding ng housemates with Mommy Minda! Feel na feel nilang mommy rin nila siya. Mangulila ba naman sila ng isang linggo't kalahati, naghahanap tuloy ng mommy figure. Nagadvice si Mommy sa mga female housemates na dapat silang mag-enjoy ngayong kabataan nila para huwag sila magsisi sa huli. Kapag nagkaanak ka na, lahat ng pangarap mo ipapasa mo na lang sa anak mo.

Open naman ang mga housemates na ikinuwento ang mga life stories nila. Obvious naman na sobrang gaan ng loob nila kay Mommy. Si Jieriel ok ang buhay nung mag-isa pa lang siya pero nung tumagal, ipinaako sa kaniya ang responsibilidad na mag-alaga sa nakababatang kapatid. Si Beauty naman malaki-laki ang angkan. Minsan nga ay nagkasabay pang magbuntis ang tita at ang lola. Kamusta naman yun?

Si Mommy Minda kinig na kinig sa life story nila with matching advice pa. Panalo talaga si Mommy. Kaya guys and girls keep this advice in mind: enjoy your teenage life while it lasts!

Major housecleaning for the housemates! Apr 1, '08 10:55 PM

Si Mommy Minda hindi talaga tinantanan ang pagbubusisi sa mga gawaing-bahay! Napakaworkaholic ni Mommy at umaasa siya na magrub off ito sa mga teens. Naghanap ng tuturuan si Mommy at ang first batch of students: ang malapit nang maging binata na si Alex, at ang Junior Kengkoy na si Nan. Ang unang lilinisin nila ay ang banyo. Hala si Mommy todo mop sa sahig at binibigyan pa ng tips ang dalawa. Wala tuloy takas ang dalawa sa pursigidong pagtuturo ni Mommy. Kaya Beauty humanda ka na mamaya! Hindi ka tatantanan ni Mommy Minda hanggang sa matuto ka!

Pungpung Galapong! Apr 1, '08 3:31 PM

Maagang pinatulog ni Kuya ang mga housmates. This time, wala silang takas dahil magssleep-over ang mga mommies. Strict pa naman si Mommy Minda!

Mommy Minda: "Boys, tulog na ng maaga at pupungpungin ko pa kayo."
Alex: "Mom, it's too early for pungpung."

Kung iniwasan ng boys ang lambing ni Mommy Minda, hinanap naman ito ni Linda. Hindi nito alam ang larong pungpung galapong, kaya naman ginawa ito sa kanya nina Mommy Minda at Beauty. Tawang-tawa ito dahil feeling baby daw siya, pero napa-clap pa rin naman siya sa tuwa.
O, who's next for pungpung galapong? Come on.. you know you want it!

Pyramid daw? Apr 1, '08 3:27 PM

Naglaro ng chess sina Daddy Ike at Ejay sa garden. Tuwang-tuwa naman si Ejay dahil may worthy opponent na siya. Bilib na bilib ito dahil naharang ni Daddy Ike ang mga secret moves niya. Dating naman si Jolas at biniro pa ito na hindi nagmana sa daddy niya pagdating sa chess. Kwentuhan lang ang tatlo at pinagsabihan sila ni Daddy Ike tungkol sa paglilinis. Mukhang nangangati na itong si Daddy na ikwento ang tungkol sa secret house. Tinanong nya kung natatanaw daw ba ng housemates ang kabila ng bakod nila, to which the boys answered no. "Buti hindi kayo nagpi-pyramid para makita ano?" tanong ni Daddy. Aba, don't give them ideas na po! Baka makita nalang namin 'yang nagkapatong-patong sa bakod. Akala ko ho ba basketball player ang gusto ninyo kay Jolas..baka naman cheerleader!

A little bit on Alex Apr 1, '08 3:19 PM

Ilang beses na umiyak si Alex about missing his family and his girlfriend. True enough, pag dating ni Mommy Minda ay kinamusta niya ang naiwang girlfriend. Sabi naman ni Mommy Minda, wag itong mag-worry dahil super proud ang kaniyang love sa kanya, kaya nga dapat itigil na ang pa-cry cry at mag-concentrate nalang on making them prouder! Nang mapunta naman ang topic sa careers, ang plano daw nila para kay Alex at brother nito (who are both taking up courses related to being electricians) ay magbukas ng business sa Pinas at sila ang magmamanage. Mukhang all set ang future ng batang ito ah!

Kwentong Jolas Apr 1, '08 3:14 PM

Ang daming kwento ni Daddy Ike tungkol sa Gentle Giant. Noong bata raw si Jolas, tinanong nito ang daddy niya kung may anak ito sa labas. Ok lang daw, hindi siya magagalit. Dito na-feel ni Daddy Ike na lonely ang unico hijo niya. Buti nalang at may naging close itong kaibigan, si Patrick, na mula sa malapit na hospicio. Nang overage na ito ay kailangan na umalis na si Patrick sa hospicio, at agad namang pinatuloy ito nila Jolas at, kahit hindi naman well-off, tinanggap bilang bahagi ng pamilya. Dagdag pang kwento ni Daddy Ike, nami-miss ni Jolas ang girlfriend niya at in-assure naman siya ng daddy niya na ganon din ang feeling ng love niya. Text nga daw ng text sa parents ni Jolas, saying hindi siya makatulog. Proud na proud si Daddy Ike sa bawat accomplishment ng anak at obvious na suportado nito si Jolas. Kahit pa ang top dream nito sa anak ay ang pagiging magaling na basketball player sa PBA, pinagbigyan nito ang kagustuhan ni Jolas na sumali sa PBB. Once in a lifetime opportunity nga naman ito. Kaya naman pala si Jolas ang laging leader at choreographer ay hilig din nito sumali sa iba't ibang pageant. Aba, model-model ha! Kaya naman ayun at ayaw tantanan ni jolas ang pagturo ng dance steps sa housemates!

Hugas pinggan ang mga Atenista Apr 1, '08 3:05 PM

Finally, face-to-face na ang ilang guardians with the teen housemates. Sina Mommy Minda, Mommy Sandy at Daddy Ike ay nangapitbahay muna, to the surprise of the housemates. Guests sila sa bahay, kaya naman nang magsimulang maglinis si Mommy Minda ng mga kalat sa kitchen, pinagsabihan siya na mas makakbuti kung turuan niya na lang ang mga housemates ng gawain-bahay. Sabi nga, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. Ayan na nga, dishwashing duty sina Nikki at Robi. Tips ni Mommy Minda: unahin ang mga baso at tignan lagi kung malinis pa ang tubig na ginagamit panghugas.

Trivia sa mga fans nina Nikki at Robi: Robi will be taking up Health Sciences at the Ateneo. Itong si Nikki ay ready to be an Atenista din. Since magiging schoolmates sila, malaki din kaya ang possibility na maging partners din sila elsewhere?

Mommies visit the teens! Apr 1, '08 4:36 AM

Nagulat ang mga teen housemates nang pumasok sa loob ng bahay si Mommy Minda ni Alex! Sabi niya ay siya daw ang tatayong ina para sa mga mommies ng teens. May bonus pa ito! (Beauty take note of this) Matuturuan ang mga housemates ng household chores. Maya-maya lang bumukas ulit ang pinto ng housemates and in comes Nicole's mom! Sinalubong ng In-Chick ng Cebu ang namimiss na niyang mommy. At home na agad ang mommies at komportableng nakipagkwentuhan sa mga teen housemates. Pero hindi ba April Fools' day ito? Ano kaya ang joke ni Kuya dito?

The things that matter

April 02, 2008 2:41 AM

The series of tasks relating to parents and random questions about his bloodline took its toll on the Promdi Hottie. The housemates couldn’t help but notice Ejay’s distraction, especially as he broke one thing after another. Yet, no one could squeeze the truth out of him; no one, that is, except Kuya. In the Confession Room, Ejay confided the truth about his parentage. Ejay knew that he was half-French, the lovechild of his mom with another man. Though not a surprise to Daddy Erning, he had no idea that his supposed first-born already knew. As much as Ejay wanted to tell the other housemates, he felt strongly about resolving the issue with his dad first. He was hesitant to tell Daddy Erning, several worries rushing through him: their relationship might change, his dad might be devastated, he may not be able to handle it… but Ejay had to put his worries aside as Daddy Erning walks in. Father and son exchange a tearful hug and Ejay was speechless, tears streaming down, with his father patting his back. After his revelation, Ejay assures Daddy Erning that, though not related by blood, he will always be his father and everything that he will become is for his father and siblings. In tears as well, Daddy Erning says of Ejay, with conviction: “Mahal na mahal ko siya dahil aking anak siya.”

Each one of us has to make choices, and sometimes it comes with sacrifices. The exchange for being in the PBB for housemates Robi, Rona and Jieriel was missing out on their high school graduation. Knowing they failed in the grad task, the graduation set-up surprised all housemates. Nothing could beat the surprise on the three graduates’ faces as they saw their school togas waiting for them in the storage room, nor did anyone control their tears of joy when their parents walked in the Confession Room. They marched to the activity area where the others were waiting. Bianca Gonzales was the emcee and PBB Teen Edition 2^nd Placer Mikee Lee gave a short speech on the life lessons to be learned in Kuya’s house. All three grads got special awards, given by their school’s representatives. Before the ceremony ended, they each gave out thank you’s and a speech on the value of education. Beauty, who wasn’t able to have a grad march, cried especially when Jieriel shared the moment as she placed her cap on her friend’s head. An abundance of food welcomed them as they entered the house, prepared by their guardians. Thanks to Mommy Minda and Daddy John who led the rest in preparing Italian Spaghetti.

As Kuya invites 100 boys to a Tuliang Bayan tomorrow, he wanted to make sure that Alex wanted to undergo the circumcision for himself and not because of peer pressure. Though Robi’s dad is set to perform the process, Kuya lets the boys feel that Alex would undergo the traditional “pukpok” method. What’s even more stressful for all is thinking that they themselves will do it, given the following tasks: Josef for the actual pukpok and Ejay to guide him, Kevin to help with chewing the guava leaves, and Jolas, Nan and Robi to help with post-op. Alex went to Kuya after to ask about this, but Kuya remained unmoved, reminding Alex that he did say he was doing it because he’s Pinoy.

Teen housemates face their dreams and fears

April 01, 2008 8:10 PM

Love is blooming inside the Big Brother house as Ejay admits to liking Valerie but gets too ‘torpe’ around her to do anything about it. His shyness to talk to the girl from Germany comes from the language barrier and the constant teasing of the housemates.

Linda tried to help him out by making the two sit beside each other but as expected Ejay gets too tongue-tied.

As for Alex’s worry on his upcoming circumcision, Kuya tried to encourage the young man by making Josef demonstrate the "de-pukpok tuli" usually done in the rural areas. He provided the two boys with bayabas leaves which startled Alex who was ignorant of the plant’s purpose. Instead of Alex being all nervous about the ritual, Josef was the one who expressed much agony. Fear was painted all over his face and he couldn’t keep still while Kuya gave him the instructions.

Cliques have started to form amongst the housemates and some of our housemates feel that they don’t belong with the group. Nicole said that no one sympathized with her when she was feeling really homesick and Linda admits to feeling the same. Both of the girls feel really alone and lost. Would Linda and Nicole’s revelation make them stick together?

As for the newly grads Robi, Rona and Jieriel, they were able to achieve their dream of attending their graduation ceremony. Kuya gave them his own version of the graduation ceremony in the presence of their parents, fellow housemates, school officials and teachers. It was almost like being in their real graduation and the three housemates could not express enough how grateful they are to Big Brother.

Is this Kuya’s April Fools’ joke?

April 01, 2008 6:51 PM

Alex, Jolas and Nicole were in the middle of a secret task when everyone had to pause and answer the mystery knocks on Kuya’s door. Alex’s mom entered the room and greeted them much to the teen’s bewilderment. The housemates warmly welcomed Mommy Minda, who spoke to them in some Italian, this being the result of living in Italy for 29. She kidded around with the gang and the housemates loved her instantly.

While helping the kids clean up after lunch, she declared that she would not be just Alex’s mom but would be representing all the housemate’s mothers. Mommy Minda would be teaching them how to do house chores the right way with a special mention of Beauty, who’s completely clueless on these things. Beauty found comfort and an ally in Mommy Minda, even urging her to scold Alex for calling her “piggy”.

The housemates were enjoying Mommy Minda’s company when another unexpected visitor came in. Nicole was the most shocked to see her Mommy Sandy standing at the threshold. She welcomed her mother with a tight embrace and introduced her to the housemates. Jieriel praised Mommy Sandy by telling her she still has a teenager’s body and could be one of the housemates. Nicole then proudly showed the things she does around the house to her mom, whom she misses sorely. Valerie also had the opportunity to bond with Mommy Sandy as she gave her a tour of the girls’s bedroom.

Well, Kuya’s surprise does not stop with Mommy Sandy for Daddy Ike, Jolas’s Dad, also makes an appearance. Jolas, who was about to take a dip in the pool, immediately took his father around and proudly introduced him to the gang.

The other housemates suddenly wished their parents were also there to visit them and Priscilla didn’t hesitate to express her homesickness. Will Kuya finally bring in the rest of the guardians? Can Mommy Minda, Mommy Sandy and Daddy Ike keep their stay inside the secret half of the Big Brother house a secret? Catch the suspense and updates on this event in PBB Teen Edition Plus’s primetime episode with Luis and Toni.
