He’s got game! “PBB Collab 3.0” housemate Ethan Benares gets real in this edition of “Atin A10 Lang”

Athletes know that every game comes with a challenge, but what if the playing field is Bahay Ni Kuya? For Ethan Benares, the “Sporty Palangga ng Bacolod,” this is one adventure that goes beyond winning and losing. 

In fact, Ethan revealed that he was particularly interested in the “psychological experiment” nature of “PBB.” He wanted to meet new people and understand himself better, which aligns with what we dug up online—that he’s taking up BS Psychology. He also hopes to make his mom and late grandfather proud. 

So, what else should we know about this sporty “Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0” housemate? Let’s find out through this “Atin A10 Lang” feature. 

Ethan certainly embodies the show’s motto of ‘pagpapakatotoo’ as he isn’t the type to sugarcoat his thoughts. He describes himself as random, straightforward, and spontaneous, which means he tends to speak without filter.  

His friend group consists of only five people, himself included, and this introvert admits that he struggles with being in big groups of people because of his social anxiety.  

But, despite not being a fan of large crowds, Ethan actually loves going to concerts. He’s a huge music enthusiast and knows a lot of artists, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he could keep a conversation about music going for hours. 

Ethan definitely lives up to his moniker. He plays more than five sports and even competed in three of them. Isn’t that an impressive athletic résumé? 

Five sports? How about five meals a day? Yup, he reveals that he can eat a lot—as many as five meals a day. And here’s a little reminder not to judge him by his looks. He knows he seems a little intimidating at first glance, but he actually describes himself as a “very open” person. 

Follow Ethan’s journey of ‘pagpapakatotoo’ and self-discovery on “PBB Collab 3.0,” with episodes available on the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel, weeknights at 9:35 p.m., Saturdays at 6:15 p.m., and Sundays at 4:55 p.m. The show is also streaming for free on iWant (PH only).
