“PBB Collab 3.0” housemate Calix Esguerra talks about fitness, favorites, and more
More than two weeks into the housemates’ journey inside the iconic Bahay ni Kuya for “Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0,” Calix Esguerra has already caught the attention of viewers—not only with his captivating charm but also with his moment that have made him a topic of discussion among his fellow housemates and avid viewers alike.
As we look forward to seeing how he will fare in the reality show, let’s get to know the “Rampanalong Apo ng Pampanga” through the fun facts about himself that he exclusively shared in this episode of “Atin A10 Lang”!
For those wondering why he was given the moniker, it’s because Calix joined the local male pageant Misters of Filipinas 2025, where he was crowned Mister Teen of the Universe 2025. One quick look at his official Instagram account reveals photos and videos showcasing not only his good looks and fit physique but also his flair for the runway—qualities that undoubtedly make him worthy of the title.
However, behind his confident smile and promising career is a story of resilience, courage, and gratitude. In his introduction video shown during the pilot episode of “PBB Collab 3.0,” Calix disclosed that he was only two years old when he lost his mother. Despite growing up without her presence, he was fortunate to have his grandparents and other relatives who stepped in to provide the love, care, and guidance he needed.
Their unwavering support became an important foundation in his life, giving the Kapampangan charmer the courage to explore his interests, pursue opportunities, and work toward his dreams. Amidst challenges, he has remained determined to overcome life’s obstacles and work hard, driven by his desire to give back to his family for everything they have given him.
Staying fit has apparently become part of his routine, as he enjoys hitting the gym and keeping himself in shape. Like many gym buffs and fitness enthusiasts, his favorite drink is none other than whey protein, which is commonly consumed to support muscle growth and recovery. While he tends to be strict with his diet, he might make an exception when served with his favorite food—adobo!
Calix seems to also have a few distinct preferences when it comes to his everyday essentials. If you’ve noticed him wearing black outfits quite often over the past few days and in the coming episodes, it’s because black is his favorite color. While many people consider a backpack a must-have, he prefers using a sling bag because carrying a backpack makes him feel like he’s lugging around too much weight!
And if he would be asked about the personalities he looks up to, Calix named the fictional superhero Superman as his idol.
