Just back from his exhilarating and worthwhile venture as one of the celebrity housemates in “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” Joaquin Arce’s compassionate heart, coupled with his genuine commitment to self-improvement, makes him an exemplary “Ultimate 8” finalist and worthy of taking home the Kapamilya 3rd Big Placer title.
In this edition of “Atin A10 Lang,” Joaquin is in his usual playful mood, cheerfully listing his favorites—from his love of cats to his preference for beverages, particularly the contrasting duo of milk tea and coffee.
One look at Joaquin’s muscly physique, and it is immediately known that he has an outstanding range of athletic abilities—including basketball, volleyball, weightlifting, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai
Not just sporty, he also possesses remarkable wits, having been an academically awarded senior high school graduate in 2025 at De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, with a silver medal to his name. He then proudly carries on his freshman year at university as a loyal Lasallian.
When it comes to Joaquin being a dedicated son, he wholeheartedly agrees, saying that he’s a mama’s boy to mother Leysel Samson, whom he would always approach for advice.
He finds more of his hobbies similar to his “PBB” batchmates, who are also drawn to anime and manga. On to his favorite film, he names a David Fincher action and crime film, “Fight Club,” which brings together Hollywood superstars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter.
One of the reasons he chose to participate in “PBB Collab 2.0” was to showcase his passion for acting, which he enthusiastically expresses is his number one and favorite art form. In this way, there’s bound to be immense support for Joaquin in his efforts to refine his rapidly developing talents as an actor.
