Joaquin, a Star Magic talent, and Sparkle artist Sofia Pablo were revealed as the first two housemates to join "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0."
The son of Arce admitted that he is a fan of the show, which is why he decided to join the brand new edition.
"I watched last season. I'm a huge fan of 'PBB' as a show. So I decided, why not give it a try?" he said.
The two new housemates are preparing themselves for the things that they will miss from the outside world.
"I hang out with as much friends as possible. Of course keeping quiet, but in my mind, 'Oh I'm not going to see them for a while.' Parang kailangan kong mag-hang-out sa family ko, sa mom ko, sa dad ko," Joaquin said.
The new edition of "PBB" follows the successful and historic "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," which brought together Kapamilya and Kapuso celebrities for the first time.
It debuted last March and concluded last July, with the final duo of Mika Salamanca (Sparkle) and Brent Manalo (Star Magic) as the winners.
"Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.0" will be hosted by Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Alexa Ilacad, Enchong Dee, Gabbi Garcia, Robi Domingo, and Mavy Legaspi.
It will premiere on October 25 and will air weekdays at 9:40 p.m., Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. and Sundays at 10:05 p.m.
