David Licauco Almost Became PBB Housemate This Year
David Licauco nearly secured a spot as an official housemate on “Pinoy Big Brother: Celeb Collab!” earlier this year. However, instead of joining as a full housemate, he appeared as a houseguest recently.
In an Instagram post, David opened up about his journey and experiences related to the Big Brother house, revealing that he once auditioned to be a regular housemate back in 2015. “Wow. Crazy to think I once lined up for PBB auditions in 2015… and years later, I got to be a houseguest,” he shared alongside a photo of himself wearing a name tag in front of the PBB house.
The Magic Inside the PBB House
David admitted he was surprised by the reality inside the house. “It was different from what I imagined—there is really magic inside Big Brother’s house,” he said. Although he kept a quiet demeanor during his stay, he learned a lot about himself. “I may have been quiet, but I learned a lot about myself. Truth is, no one really knows what it’s like inside unless you’ve lived it.”
He also expressed gratitude to those who supported him inside the house, acknowledging that some viewers found his calm and composed personality less exciting. David even apologized to those who described him as “boring.”
Support and Shoutouts
Beyond his personal reflections, David gave a warm shoutout to his fellow housemates, praising their acceptance and the meaningful conversations they shared. He described the atmosphere as a “warm welcome and solid conversations.”
In a surprising reveal, he mentioned, “I was actually considered to be a housemate earlier this year,” but did not disclose why he ultimately remained a houseguest.
Celebrity Houseguests This Season
Aside from David Licauco, this season’s celebrity houseguests include notable personalities such as Michelle Dee, members of the group BINI—Jhoanna and Stacey—as well as Korean star Kim Ji-soo and actor Donny Pangilinan.
David Licauco’s story reminds audiences that the path to becoming a housemate can be unpredictable, and the experience inside the Big Brother house offers unique personal insights that few fully understand until they live it themselves.
