He may have the face and the body of a model, but to people in his hometown, he is often called by many names like
‘Hilaw na Kano’ or ‘Bangaw Bangaw’ which is a term of a filthy kid. Tom would frequently get into fight with these
people.
Life became more challenging when he migrated to the US to be with his family. He struggled with speaking in English
and had a difficulty communicating with people around him. Tom finished college with a degree in Digital Animation,
but still he couldn’t get a job in this field. He flew to Hongkong to pursue his passion, but instead he found
romance which was unfortunately short lived.
What would you consider your greatest accomplishment so far?
Becoming a housemate.
What/who will you miss the most upon entering Kuya’s house?
My four-year-old nephew and one-year-old niece.
If you can be a celebrity for a day, who would you be and why?
Brad Pitt because he’s awesome.
Do you think you’ll get along well with the other housemates? Why?
I guess. ‘Di naman ako palaaway eh.
What would irritate/annoy you inside the house?
Mataas naman ang tolerance ko sa mga tao. But probably ‘yung mga taong walang respeto at may masamang intention.
Q&A with Tom
Sabi nga ni Mariel, marami siyang nakuhang text tungkol sa hot na si Tom! So, for those na naghihintay ng update sa kanya, eto na ang mga nakuhang info sa hot seat moment niya:
1. Ipinanganak sa Olongapo to a Pinay mom and an American navy dad. Supportive ang dad niya, at madalas silang magkasama nito matapos umalis sa Navy.
2. 6 silang magkakapatid. Pangatlo siya at panganay na lalaki. Lumaki muna sila sa Pilipinas bago pumuntang America, kasi gusto ng mga magulang nila ang values dito. Aminado naman siya na may topak pa rin siya kahit papano.
3. Kapag nanalo siya sa PBB, ibibigay niya yung bahay sa magulang niya, kasi retired na sila. Ready din siya na tanggapin kung ano mang opportunities meron after PBB.
4. Nagtapos siya ng Digital Animation sa University of Advancing Technology sa Tampi, Arizona.
5. Nag-intern siya sa Hongkong, kasi gusto niyang malapit sa Pilipinas. Wala nga lang nangyari.
6. Noong 17 o 18 siya, nagsarili siya at nagkaroon ng ka live-in. Matapos yun, puro casual dating nalang at wala
siyang serious relationship ngayon.
Kahit na pilit maging matchmaker ni Jason sa pagpasok nila sa bahay (lalo na only girl si Princess sa bahay), non-committal naman si Tom. Maganda daw ang kasama, pero hindi naman nagpapilit si Tom na crush niya ito agad. O, may pag-asa pa kayo kay Tom!
