PBB Teens Big 4: Myrtle Sarrosa, Karen Reyes, Joj and Jai Agpangan

PBB Teens Big 4: Myrtle Sarrosa, Karen Reyes, Joj and Jai Agpangan
Five is the new four, that is for the recent fourth season of the reality show Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition where five people made it to the big 4 - twins Joj and Jai Agpangan, Roy Requejo, Karen Reyes and big winner Myrtle Sarrosa.
Students and Campuses Bulletin had a literal walk in the park with these kids recently and saw how simple, yet ambitious and career-driven they are.
Following are snippets from our interview with the PBB Teens top finisher, on how their lives were before PBB, their families, their struggles as teenagers as well as their dreams and aspirations, and why they believe in their hearts that they have a bright, bright future ahead of them.
Joj and Jai Agpangan
Two peas in a pod
Joj and Jai Agpangan are the wacky, 16-year-old identical twins from Bacolod City. Born to a community developer/ farmer father and an accountant mother, the twins graduated from Bacolod City Tay Tung High School although they do not come from a Chinese family. “The school was near our place. We thank the school for accepting us. We had a great time studying there where we learned to speak and write some Fookien and Mandarin.” They were classmates in freshman high school and had a blast playing pranks, oftentimes pretending to be the other twin.
Even with crushes, the Virgo siblings share a liking for the same person – young TV host and PBB Teen alumnus Robi Domingo! Joj and Jai both dream of working with him.
Both are inclined towards taking up Medicine. While Joj wants to be like famous dermatologist Dr. Vicki Belo, Jai wants to specialize in pediatrics. They want to enroll in Silliman University for college.
It is amazing how the twins can be the same not only in looks but also in attitude, in their likes and dislikes, and even in their attitude. Two peas in a pod, indeed!
“We’re like Disney Channel’s ‘Zack and Cody,’ always happy, wacky, and almost inseparable,” Joj exclaims.
Jai describes Joj as talkative but with a kind heart, probably the traits that housemate Roy liked in her. Joj says Jai is naughtier and a little bigger than her!
As early as now, the twins’ wackiness is earning for them some guesting spots, such as that in the noontime show ‘It’s Showtime!’ Fans may follow them on Twitter at @jojagpangan (for Joj) and @jyramay (for Jai).
Roy Requejo
Big Dreamer
If there is one thing common among the PBB housemates who had been evicted earlier, it was the fact that they all thought Roy Requejo deserved to be the big winner.
Roy, 17, was born in Naga City, Camarines Sur to a driver father and a beautician mother. He is the eldest of four siblings and is a graduate of Tinago High School in CamSur.
Life was hard for Roy who had to work as a construction worker at one point. His mother left them and went to Manila to work and for nearly a year, Roy and his siblings did not hear from their mother. It was not until the PBB Big Night that Roy was able to talk to his mother again. “We’re okay now,” he quietly says.
Growing up hard-up though has not stopped Roy from going on little romantic pursuits. Tall, dark, and handsome, Roy claims he has already had three girlfriends. “My first love was the girl next door. The other two girls, I met in school,” Roy looks back with a laugh.
He first aspired to become a seaman but with PBB, his plans have begun to take new turns.
“I’m still open to the idea. PBB has actually guaranteed me a scholarship to Mariner’s Polytechnic College in Bicol. But I have yet to enroll. I dream to finish school of course and make life better for me and my family. But I’m also open to other opportunities. If something better comes along, I’m open to it,” he says.
Roy likes to try new things, including learning how to play the guitar, and trying out acting. He idolizes John Lloyd Cruz (and dreams of working with him), Vhong Navarro, and Parokya Ni Edgar. But for now, he is doing the rounds of ABS-CBN live shows and looks back to that fateful big night that changed his life.
“I thank all those who voted for me, especially to the mayor of CamSur who announced his support for me. Thank you!” Roy says. Fans may follow him on Twitter at @requejoroy28.
Karen Reyes
Tough Teenager
She might have been the strongest, most noticeable personality inside the PBB Teen house but 15-year old Karen Reyes could also very well be the toughest.
Born to an OFW father who is now deceased, and a carinderia cook/ entrepreneur mother, Karen was originally from Makati City until she and her family moved to Calapan, Oriental Mindoro. She was a junior high school student at Jose J. Leido, Jr. Memorial National High School in Calapan before she joined PBB Teens.
“It was tough growing up without a father. My mother did her best to support us. I have two elder siblings who finished college and they helped out until they had their own families. We look after each other. I’ve had a normal teen life,’’ says Karen, the youngest among four children.
Her pretty face, being likened to that of a young Lorna Tolentino, has given her a newfound fame. Yet Karen still dreams of finishing high school and pursuing a course in Tourism in college. She says she is still a simple girl with simple joys, someone who enjoys texting, playing computer games, eating, and sleeping.
Aside from dancing, Karen has also acquired the talent of “seducing’’ the camera when posing for pictures. She idolizes actress Angel Locsin and says that she is open to any acting job. In fact, she has already been included in the cast immediately in the afternoon teleserye “Angelito” (Book 2) on ABS-CBN 2. Fans may follow Karen on Twitter at @iamkarenreyes17.
Myrtle Sarrosa
More than a cosplaying housemate
Myrtle Sarrosa, so unique among all housemates because of her passion for cosplay, is 17 years old and hails from Iloilo City.
An Accountancy sophomore at the University of the Philippines-Visayas before she decided to enter the PBB house, Myrtle is the youngest of two children of Iloilo City councilor Rodolfo Sarrosa and accountant Fatima Porlucas-Sarrosa of the Department of Finance. She is also a Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) chairman in their district.
Myrtle emulates famous cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao as she herself has been into cosplaying for four years now.
“I had a simple life before PBB but it has been a happy, amazing and wonderful experience so far. Everything feels new to me after the show. I never had any idea that I would become the big winner because I had the highest save percentage at 45.01 percent but also the highest percentage to evict at 11.09 percent.
It’s crazy! When Kuya admitted me to the PBB house, he told me ‘This will be a summer you’ll never forget.’ I still have yet to get used to all the public attention. I’m hesitant to have a Twitter account because I’m still holding on to my privacy. I have my Facebook though where I have my cosplay photos which are valuable to me,” Myrtle gushes.
With looks oftentimes likened to young actress Erich Gonzales and supermodel Niki Taylor, Myrtle says she is still the ordinary teenager that she has always been.
“I’m a girl who gives her best, with passion and enthusiasm – 100 percent,” says Myrtle who also sings, dances, and plays the piano.
Two things she is setting her sights on are participating in cosplays abroad and opening her own fashion line. After all, being a cosplay artist has taught her how to do her own hair and make-up and style her own costumes.
She also plans on taking on an advocacy for the youth. After fulfilling her duties as a contract talent, Myrtle intends to go back to school and fulfill her ultimate dream to become a CPA-lawyer someday.
At present, Myrtle has started guesting on TV shows and is gearing up for the Pinoy Big Brother tour. Fans may follow Myrtle at www.facebook.com/myrt.gail and or www.facebook.com/sarrosamyrtle

Multi-talented actor Dingdong Dantes, who advocates education for the youth, is seen showing off his photo of students to fast-rising stars Mikael Daez, Benjamin Alves, and Alden Richards.
