Ejay Falcon: Okay to dream

By Jerry Donato Updated June 21, 2008 12:00 AM

With a lead of 32,000 plus votes to the Second Teen Placer Robi Domingo, many were surprised at the victory of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus Big Winner, Ejay Falcon. This, plus a possibility of technical glitch in the voting system, make Ejay the most controversial among the winners of the reality show. Although a neophyte in the ins and outs of showbiz, Ejay couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders and charge everything to experience. Beauty Gonzalez and Nicole Uysiuseng placed fourth and third, respectively.

“I won’t let it affect me,” offers Ejay. “I never appealed to pity nor played the underdog to win. As far as I know, I did everything (to carry out the different tasks inside the house). Perhaps, there were sympathy votes but I think there were also solid votes for me. I was just true to myself during my stay.”

Ejay is ready to face the intrigue-infested yet happy world of showbusiness. His “think first before you react” attitude is what the University of Manila student needs to stay in the biz and to prove his critics wrong.

What will Ejay do with his P1-M prize?

“I will finance my siblings’ education,” replies Ejay. “I have two sisters, one is 16 and the other is nine. My brother is 13. I will also give my mom money so she can start her own business and eventually stop working as a reflexologist.”

He also took home a business package from Crystal Clear, a laptop, a kitchen showcase, an LCD TV and a condo unit.

Ejay’s win also called for a double celebration as his foster father, Tatay Erning, was proclaimed the first Guardian Big Winner weeks before the PBB Teen finals at the Araneta Coliseum.

Though the contest was already over. Ejay couldn’t get over his happiness and newfound fortune. He thanked televiewers who religiously texted for him and his kababayan in Oriental Mindoro who contributed hugely to the 620,934 votes he received during the Big Night.

Ejay, on the other hand, will continue some things he started inside the house. One is his rudely-interrupted courtship and budding friendship with Valerie Weignmann, a Fil-German housemate.

“I will still pursue her,” says Ejay. “I have feelings for her. It’s intensity 100 percent. I regret that I judged her as a playgirl and maarte. I found out that she can do some household chores. She is also a strong person, considering what she has gone through in life.”

Valerie suffered from depression when her dad died and struggled to fight for her half-bred identity back in Weisbaden, Germany.

In the coming weeks, we will see Ejay doing guestings and interviews on Kapamilya shows like Boy & Kris, Singing Bee and Rated K. This is a good start for Ejay, who sees a career in acting, to test the waters of the local tinseltown.

Given the chance, Ejay wants to follow in the footsteps of Jericho Rosales and Piolo Pascual, who excel in drama and recording. He also looks forward to doing action films like his other idol Robin Padilla.

Among today’s female stars, Ejay wants to be paired with Sarah Geronimo whose effortless, simple beauty has endeared her to the promdi housemate.

What are the lessons Ejay will treasure outside Big Brother’s House?

“One is to show concern for others,” he answers. “And two, it is not bad to dream.”
