Meet Big Brother's new set of teen housemates

MANILA, Philippines - The first set of teen housemates for Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4 was revealed last Sunday at the program’s disco-themed kick-off celebrating the ‘70s when Big Brother was a teenager.

Entering the house were Tom, the Bukid Prince of Davao who grew up in a rich hacienda-owning family but partakes in farm chores and Roy, the Boy Sipag of Naga who comes from a broken family and has worked as a garbage boy, construction worker and welder to provide for his siblings.

There are also Ryan, the Pilyong Binatilyo of Angeles, a happy-go-lucky aspiring football player; Yves, the Masunuring Son of Tarlac who comes home early to reach his 7-p.m. curfew; and Alec, the Chinito Gwapito of Laguna, a pharmacy student and heartthrob who has joined provincial and school beauty pageants.

Joining them are Vince, the Bunsoy Tisoy of Rizal, an honor student who was raised by his grandmother and aunt; and Kit, the Kid Tangkad of Pampanga, a six-footer and a self-confessed former playboy.

Before the PBB Teen Edition 4: The Fun-tastic Kick-off, female identical twins Joj and Jai, the Double Biba of Bacolod entered the PBB house and were given an order by Big Brother that only one of them should be recognized as female by their fellow housemates.

The disco-inspired opening, which featured performances by the PBB Unlimited Big Four and ex-housemates and the Angelito: Batang Ama cast, invaded the micro-blogging site Twitter, with the hashtag #PBBTeens4 topping the local trending topics, followed by the teen housemates names and monikers including Tom, Alec, Yves, Joj and Jai, Vince, Chinito Gwapito and Bukid Prince. The hosts also made online buzz as Bianca Gonzalez trended worldwide and Robi Domingo in the Philippines.
