Daldal Darling ng Australia: Ylona Jade Garcia


Australia13yo
Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Ylona is the third among five siblings. Her dad is a pathology technical officer, while her mom is a registered nurse and medical technologist. Having parents who are in the medical field, you would think that Ylona would be interested in the sciences, as well, but Ylona’s interests lean more towards the performing arts. In fact, Ylona’s star has already started to shine brightly in Australia. At 13yo, she has already performed as front act for various Filipino artists during their tour in Australia. These artists include Martin Nievera, Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo.

While Ylona has started to make a name in the Filipino Community in Australia, she admits that she still has a lot to learn about the Filipino culture, especially in speaking Tagalog.

Mr. Nice Guy ng San Juan: Edward Kyle Secades


San Juan17yo
You may find Kyle’s confident smile and boyish good looks familiar because of his print and tv ads. But the confidence you see in Kyle right now wasn’t always there. Growing up, Kyle was on the heavy set, he wasn’t getting good grades in school and had low self-esteem. Until one day, Kyle decided to do something about his weight so that his crush would notice him.

Since his weight loss, Kyle developed better self confidence, his grades improved, he started getting booked for commercials and earning to help with his family’s finances, and his crush is no longer just a crush, but already his girlfriend for ten months now.

Doll Along Da Riles ng Albay: Barbie Imperial


Albay16yoStudent
You could say that Barbie’s name suits her – tall, slim, fair-skinned, pretty and very girly – seemingly perfect, just like the doll with the same name. But Barbie’s life is far from perfect. She grew up not knowing how it is to have a complete family and always longing for her father whom she only gets to see frequently.

She also grew up not knowing how it is to have a house she could call her own – Barbie, her mom and older brother used to stay at a relative’s house until they finally got their own place “along the riles” of the Philippine National Railroad in Daraga, Albay. But despite the circumstances, Barbie continues to have a positive outlook in life.

For Barbie, anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and actually do something about it. She dreams of being able to provide a better life for her family, and be able to give her mom a more suitable home they could call their own. And inside the Pinoy Big Brother House, anything is possible.

Ailah was born and raised in a family that practices Islam. She has both an older and a younger brother. Their mom is a housewife, while their dad works in Saudi Arabia.

Just like any teenager, Ailah is bubbly, curious about a lot of things, enjoys malling, likes listening to music, and gets giddy over her favorite love team, Kathniel.

And just like any good daughter, Ailah dreams of a better life where her dad doesn’t have to work overseas anymore and their family can finally be complete again. She joined PBB737 in the hopes of making it as a Big Winner so that her dad can finally go back home. 

Teen Mama ng Manila: Kamille Filoteo

Kamille was only 16yo when she gave birth to her 2-year old baby girl, Aneeka. Before she got pregnant with Aneeka, Kamille was taking up Psychology, and her first love was dancing. She has joined one of the G-Force Summer Dance Classes and was able to perform at ASAP Live.
Kamille has been in love with Aneeka’s dad, Justin, for four years now but they still don’t live together because Kamille’s mom, though very fond of Aneeka, disapproves of Justin. Despite that, Kamille and Aneeka still get to spend a lot of time with Justin.

Kamille may have taken a wrong turn once in her life, but she considers Aneeka as a big blessing in her life and admits that she will have a hard time being away from her baby once she gets inside the Pinoy Big Brother House.
