PBB Limited Paintings, Sold Out!

December 21, 2007 8:33 PM

A big screen outside the famous yellow house was supposed to show the masterpieces of the celebrity housemates until all their piggy paintings are sold out within 24 hours. But there's no need to do that anymore since all of master pieces are now purchased by goodhearted individuals. At first though, Baron remained in a pressing situation for no one seems to desire his quite scruffy work. He justified its condition saying that he was a little tired when he drew it. However, he announced that he’s willing to create another one for whoever will buy it. In desperation, he even called out to Donnie, their mom and even his manager to be strong enough to open their wallets. But with the help of Riza’s kiss on his painting, Rafael Jonah of Tandang Sora Quezon City later acquired it.

Up next on the auction floor was Riza with “Apollo Langit”, featuring Victor’s godpig. She even included a lightning in her design since it’s a favorite symbol of the model-actor. She explained that it may appear that she was being electrocuted because she had drawn it in a wrong place. But in spite of her misgivings about it, her work of art was immediately bought by Mariflor Escano of Quezon City.

Another successful bid came with Will’s “Love-Hate” obra, claiming that its splashes of yellow and pink colors give it an “astig facor”. He invited everyone to take it for its simplicity. He was explaining the details of his work when Ethel suddenly came in the picture to help him advertise through her alluring dancing prowess. Then she later exclaimed while advancing in on Will, “Bibilin ko na ‘yan kasama ka for P3,000. Deal or no deal? Dali na!” She further asked her siblings to come to Kuya’s abodeand buy Will’s painting for her. Apparently, the hilarious sight that they made paid off because Ezekiel Sarapio of Sampaloc, Manila took it home!

On the other hand, Jon was lucky enough to have Mariel as his champion for she used her professional hosting skills to promote his scary depiction of Biboy. Yet it was still sold not only because the buyer was moved by Mariel’s explanation that the piglet’s tear represents his sadness for Yayo’s sudden exit, but because April Sazon of Parañaque bought it. And she happens to be Mariel’s mom! Kuya’s bubbly houseguest was shocked to hear that her mother bided for it. But then she was glad that she did as it's for a good cause. Jon smilingly added, "Thank you mom!" much to Gaby's mirth.

Ultimately, Ethel's funny portrayal of "Swimming with the babes" was procured by Jen of Las Piñas, who's no less than their ex-housemate herself. While Ruben's long wait for his painting to be sold finally came with Riza Reyes as his savior. With this, the housemates were able to save their beloved piglets from being taken away.

Just this morning, Big Brother told all the celebrity housemates that three Kapamilyas namely Aling Lydia, Mang Tomas, and Aling Mila express their desire to buy Peggy's little ones for Php 20,000, the proceeds of which will go to a non-profit organization. But the housemates were greatly affected by Kuya's decision and had a protest. However, they were given the chance to save their godpiglets by selling the paintings they made yesterday through an auction. They must be able to raise the Php 20k amount to save the piglets from being sold, and the money will be donated to a non-profit organization

After wearing their Filipiniana costumes, the housemates went straight into the garden. Through a live camera, the housemates sold their works of art to all interested buyers. Mariel was the first one to sell her "Balake Aketch" painting featuring the cute piglet Posh. The pretty houseguest put her masterpiece for sale at Php 3,000 and invited all her UpLate, Uber, and Wowowee fans to place their bids. Afterwards, Gaby stepped in front of the camera to convince all her relatives and friends to buy her impressive "Liwayway" painting featuring her godpiglet Porkchop for only Php 5,000. The paintings were soon snatched up by eager followers of Mariel and Gaby which made the housemates cheer with delight. It was indeed a good sign that the cute piglets are about to have a good life.

Uber host Bianca Gonzales also gave an update on the piglet's mom, Peggy. She visited Mommy Peggy in her new home in Paradizoo in Tagaytay. There, the famous housepig has been enjoying a nice life in the care of the zoo officials. The question now, however, is if Peggy's offspring will have the same fate as their mother's.

Portraits with the Piglets

December 20, 2007 1:15 PM

After Riza relayed the instructions, the housemates all got into the pigpen to get their piglets. They were all surprised to see how Peggy's littles have all grown. Ethel was even caught off guard when she tried to carry one of the piglets who have gained an unbelievable weight. The sexy-comedian, however, missed the company of her godpiglet Don who was taken out of the house after losing in the PBB Olympigs. Jon, on the other hand, decided to take Biboy into his care since godmother Yayo is already out. Meanwhile, the other housemates got all excited as they will have a chance to play with the hyperactive piglets.

The boys took out the painting materials from the storage room while the girls guarded the piglets, making sure that no one will accidentally fall into the pool. Then after a while, everyone got into their comfortable places as they begin their works of art. Big Brother also played some instrumental music to inspire the housemates in coming up with their respective masterpieces. The activity also served as an outlet for Baron to show his artistry with the brush and canvass. The rest, meanwhile, also took the opportunity to enhance their creativity and imagination.

But aside from the painting, the housemates must also spend some quality time with their piglets as part of the day's task. They must properly groom their godpiglets, scratch their bellies, and play with them all throughout the day. This seemed to be a perfect time for our housemates to enjoy the fresh air and the great sunlight on the garden. But the question now is, what can we expect from our housemates' paintings? Be sure to keep locked in here to see their beautiful masterpieces. Also, watch Uber this afternoon at 5:30 for the latest happenings inside Kuya's house.

Honoring one's mother

December 20, 2007 12:00 AM

A fun line-up of activities were in store for the housemates yesterday which includes the continuation of their impersonation task, the “Walk to Bethlehem” and the rewarding seafood feast for the girls who won the underwater charades. But all these took a backseat as Yayo received the news of her mom’s critical condition, rushed to the hospital to visit her, only to find her gone forever. Her plans to show her love to Mrs. Helen Racelis by giving her all the good things in life were taken away. And now, she has no way of telling her that she’s one of the reasons why she sacrificed a lot to make it to the Big Win.

It was heart-breaking to see Yayo break down when she arrived in her mom’s hospital bed with a white sheet covering the dead body. Amidst her sobs, she asked her relatives if her mother felt bad for not hearing from her for so long and the fact that she failed to talk to her about her stint in PBB. But when she finally calmed down, she decided to return on Kuya’s home, thinking that her mom would want her to. Much later, this was what she explained to Big Brother.

However, the Big Brother advised that it’s more important for her to be at her mother’s side to oversee the funeral as a tribute to her. He further noted that bagging the million-peso prize from the show is nothing compared to the opportunity to show her worth as a daughter to her parent. “Para makabawi ka din sa nawalang oras sa inyong dalawang mag-ina. It is time to honor your mother.” With that said, Yayo was enlightened as to the best option for her to pursue.

This paved the way for another momentous voluntary exit in this edition’s history. But as PBB Host Toni Gonzaga clarified, the profits from the voting for this week’s canceled eviction would all go to Yayo as part of the program’s condolences for her family.

In the meantime, life goes on in the famous yellow house. Tune in to the celebrity housemates’ latest adventures and mishaps on PBB Uber and Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.

Flowers from the housemates

December 19, 2007 6:58 PM

Mourning filled the famous yellow house as our celebrity housemates faced the day without their beloved Mommy Yayo. While thinking of a way to extend financial support to Yayo and her family, the housemates got the chance to do their first good deed for their "mommy housemate." Everyone worked together on a flower arrangement that they will offer to the wake as a symbol of love and respect for Yayo's departed mother.

While arranging the flowers, the housemates talked about the happy and unforgettable times they had with Yayo inside the house. It seemed that everybody missed the way Yayo would prepare breakfast, and of course, remind them to clean the table after eating. They also gave their personal messages, wishing Yayo the best during this trying time in her life.

Also, Uber host Bianca visited the wake early this afternoon and got the chance to talk to Yayo. After getting enough sleep and moral support from family and friends, Yayo is now feeling a bit better compared to yesterday. She remains strong by keeping her faith in the Lord, believing that everything happens for a reason. Yayo reminisced how her mother was such a happy and optimistic woman. Yayo also shared the premonition she had early this week when, for no clear reason, she felt uneasy and sick. She confessed how devastated she was for on the way to the hospital, she hoped that her mother was in a better condition to talk to her. Unfortunately, all was too late for Yayo, and now that her mother has already joined our Creator, all that Yayo could do for her is to leave Kuya's house and bring her to her final resting place.
