Cebuano teens try their luck at PBB auditions

CEBU, Philippines -  ABS-CBN’s phenomenal reality show “Pinoy Big Brother” has opened its online auditions to aspiring housemates who want to join its fifth regular and teen editions.

The auditions, which will open until January 15, 2014, require hopefuls to submit a one-minute video where they should prove they deserve to be a PBB housemate. For the complete details on how to send in videos along with filled out audition forms, just visit www.pinoybigbrother.com.

Thousands have already tried out in the reality show’s on-ground auditions in Davao, and most recently in Cebu, where it was part of ABS-CBN’s three-day “Bida Kapamilya Audition Caravan” that also featured “The Voice of the Philippines Kids” and “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”

The event is said to have given hope and inspiration to those who joined the event as some of the auditionees hail from Samar and Leyte and were affected by super typhoon Yolanda. Some of them also shared their life stories at MMK’s story gathering booth.

Former PBB housemates Beauty Gonzalez, Paul Jake Castillo and Season 4 Big Winner Slater Young (both Cebuanos), and Deniesse Aguilar showed up at the event to show their support for the auditionees. Deniesse and Beauty, meanwhile, served as online correspondents.
