Slater to new teen housemates: 'Be Real'

CEBU, Philippines - “Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited” Big Winner Slater Young said it would be best for current and aspiring PBB housemates to be themselves while staying inside the PBB house.

“You just have to be real. Strategies are problematic because they would backfire on you. When you leave the house, it would work against you if you present something that’s not you inside the house,” said Slater, a licensed civil engineer who is determined to pursue a career in show business.

Slater, who garnered almost 40% of the total votes to be crowned the Big Winner, would like to be developed as a “serious actor” just like his idols John Lloyd Cruz and Pen Medina. He also wishes to be paired up with host-actress KC Concepcion. “I’ve long had a crush on KC because she’s very simple yet classy,” he said.

Slater took home P2 million, an appliance showcase, an Asian tour package, an Internet TV, a water-refilling store franchise, and a special appearance in a Kapamilya program in the United States.

He also revealed that he will be allocating a part of his prize money on the schooling of the kids of their company’s employees. “We already did it before. We usually support our employees’ children who are studying or enrolled in highly expensive courses like engineering and nursing,” said Slater, whose family in Cebu has a construction business.

He bested the edition’s 32 housemates including fellow Big Four contenders Pamu Pamorada, Joseph Biggel, and Paco Evangelista.
