Of Pinoy Big Brother and the 23rd SEA Games
It’s few more days before the Pinoy Big Brother Big Night. PBB staff and crew must be so busy right now preparing for the big event happening on Saturday at the Clark Expo Zone. Inside the PBB house, staff and crew are busy as well cooking out more ideas and getting more advertisers and personality inside the house. They only got few more days to rake up what ever they could rake up from the popularity of this concept.
The past few days so some well known personality visiting the so called Big Four. A few weeks ago, it was Vilma Santos, then yesterday morning it was Manny Pacquiao and Sunday night, the King of Comedy Dolphy paid them a visit. Last night, Kris Aquino entered the house to tape an episode of Game Ka Na Ba, with none other than the housemates as contestants. In the advertising front, Globe among other business entities have one way or the other got into the fray and was featured as sponsors of the housemates’ daily tasks. Text Voting continues. As the popularity of the TV series soars and so is the profit of the TV network.
Meanwhile, what has now become of the evicted housemates? Three of them landed regular slots in ABS-CBN shows. One got a recording deal and immediately released a single and is now part of ABS-CBN’s Sunday noon-time show. Two former lovers split up. One is this month’s cover girl of a popular Tech and Gadget Magazine. And the rest are busy with different kind of sorties. Not bad for exposing yourself to the whole world and losing your privacy in the process.
After the Big Night this Saturday, expect more TV appearances and sorties for the 13 housemates. And expect to hear more of the “new national anthem” of the Filipino people, in every street corner, in every Christmas party that your are going to attend to. Heck, we might even get to see Garci and the Senators and Congressmen dancing to Pinoy Ako during the hearing tomorrow.
Oh yes, the SEA Games? The Philippines got it’s best ever finish since the history of the SEA (South East Asian Games and everybody danced the housemates’ dance to the tune of “Pinoy Ako”.
