Pinoy Big Brother Season 4 Audition

The famous Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) reality show continues to amaze millions of hopefuls to become the next big winner. With the exorbitant monetary reward, fame and unforgettable experience, everyone is excited to try one’s luck of joining the roster of housemates and be the ultimate winner. After a series of successful regular seasons and special editions, PBB prepares for another exciting season this year. Iligan City was chosen to be one of the venues of a tiring and terrifying screening process, a great chance for its constituents to be the big winner.

Excited participants visited St. Michael’s College as early as 6:00PM on Thursday to personally check the venue and possible release of application forms. Most of them were accompanied by their moms and some relatives. Some meters away were keen observers of what’s the update. Some ABS-CBN crew and SMC’s security personnel prepared tents and other materials for the audition. 5 participants enthusiastically pronounced they’re 100% ready and are willing to give their best shot should they be asked to show their talents and amazing life stories. One of whom was Adones from Tambacan who has been a drummer of a local band and a father of 5 kids. He proudly shared his “adaptable” personality and “dream” of giving his kids a comfortable life.


            The day of audition came and thousands of participants from various places in Mindanao converged at the venue with the hope of becoming one of the housemates of PBB. It’s good to see vendors selling bottled water and food items to help everyone combat hunger and thirst, considering also that many didn’t have breakfast just to fall in line very early. Accordingly, a total of 2,471 individuals joined the audition. They patiently waited for their turn that took them almost 4 hours before entering the gate of SMC and another 2 hours before encountering the first elimination round with Direk Laurenti Dyogi and his head writer as jurors. Approximately, 370 participants were fortunate enough to proceed to the second round with emphasis given to his/her unique, and maybe tear-jerking life story.


  

The first elimination round ended at 7:00 o’clock in the evening when everyone was so tired. There were happy faces suggesting success for the unforgettable experience, heightened chance of becoming one of the housemates and relief after a tedious process. 


The event went so well. Congratulations to the organizers consisting of the Iligan City Government Personnel and ABS-CBN Crew. Coordination of both parties was evident because everything went under control. The choice of the venue was equally great because it facilitated smooth sailing flow and St. Michael’s College has facilities necessary for the activity including amenities for everyone’s comfort.  Direk Lauren also voiced out his appreciation for a well-organized event.


Keep posted for what transpired during the entire screening process, the participants whom we interviewed from the first elimination round to the second and the role of Iligan Bloggers Society during the audition. Be excited as well to know who among the participants will join the Pinoy Big Brother Season 4.

Known for its crispiest and tastiest liempo, Tita Fannies has its humble beginning. The Onque family managed to utilize a 100 square meter area in putting up a restaurant. Using low cost native materials like bamboo furniture and nipa hut, Tita Fannies Chicken and Liempo Haus was finally launched on November 18, 1999 at Zamora St., Poblacion, Iligan City. “We wanted Iligan City to have its mark in the food industry” recalls Mrs. Nilda Onque. The family then had a very great idea of offering liempo and lechon manok in town. These were the main products that captured the taste of the Iliganons who kept coming back for more.
