Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 4 Housemates Revealed

On Sunday night, April 8, the first 9 teen housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4” were revealed at a disco-themed kick-off to celebrate the ‘70s decade when “Big Brother” was supposedly a teenager.

Here are the 7 Teen Male Housemates:

Dubbed the “Bukid Prince of Davao,” Doromal comes from a rich hacienda-owning family but nonetheless partakes in farm chores, including climbing coconut trees to pick coconuts, which are made into husks and copra.

• Roy Requejo, 18. Dubbed “Boy Sipag of Naga,” Requejo comes from a broken family and has worked as a garbage boy, construction worker and welder to provide for his siblings.

• Ryan Boyce, 16. Dubbed the “Pilyong Binatilyo of Angeles,” the half-British Boyce is an aspiring football player, whose view of life changed when he got into an accident that almost cost him his dreams of playing football.

• Yves Flores, 18. The “Masunuring Son of Tarlac,” Flores said he makes it a point to get home early because he has a 7 p.m. curfew.

• Alec Dungo, 18. The “Chinito Gwapito of Laguna” is a pharmacy student at the University of Santo Tomas and a campus heartthrob who has joined numerous provincial and school pageants.

But before last Sunday’s pilot episode, identical twins Joj Apangan and Jai Apangan already entered the retro-designed PBB house and were immediately given an order by Big Brother that only one of them should be recognized as female by their fellow housemates.

The 17-year-old twins have been dubbed the “Double Biba of Bacolod.” Both like watching TV and reading pocketbooks and listed “The Vampire Diaries” and “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” as their favorite TV shows.
