Actor Enchong Dee finally entered Pinoy Big Brother’s house on Sunday night as housemate of its teenage residents.
Last month, it was announced that 26-year-old Dee was going to be Big Brother’s new resident host and “homeboy.” But he didn’t know when he would be officially joining the teen housemates.
The first celebrity houseguest appeared surprised when hosts Toni Gonzaga and Bianca Gonzales broke the news on Sunday. He then said goodbye to his family and girlfriend Sam Lewis.
Big Brother, the owner and the commanding voice of the country’s most popular house, welcomed Dee inside the confession room.
“Last time nag-usap tayo alam ko naman na darating ’yong araw na magiging housemate ako. So parang ever since na sinabi mo ‘yon, lagi ko naman pine-prepare ang sarili ko. But it’s really different. There is no proper preparation for this,” Dee told Big Brother.
“Naniniwala ako na dumating na ang panahon na ikaw ay manirahan sa loob ng bahay ko,” Big Brother replied.
“Tulad ng napagdaanan nina Toni, Bianca at Robi (Domingo), isa itong espesyal na karanasan na nais kong ibahagi sa ’yo bilang pinakabagong miyembro ng aming pamilya,” Big Brother added.
Dee entered the house to personally meet and interact with his teen housemates and to help the viewers choose the winner among them.
Dee will transform into a giant toy robot named E-Toy while doing his function inside Big Brother’s house.
Two more houseguests are expected to stay inside the house in the coming days.
“PBB 737” airs daily on ABS-CBN.
