Darren Espanto Explains Why Joining Pinoy Big Brother Isn’t Part of His Plans

Kapamilya singer-host Darren Espanto recently opened up about why he doesn't see himself joining Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition anytime soon. In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, Darren shared his honest thoughts on the reality show, especially the aspect of being confined in the house for an extended period.

"Kung housemate, parang hindi ko kaya. Ano po yung parang kailangan nasa labas lagi. So, hindi ko makita yung sarili kung nasa yung isang space lang or lugar for up to three months, kung aabot hanggang dulo. So, ayun po. Para silang nasa pandemya. Yung mga housemates, yung bawal lumabas, kayo-kayo lang magkikita sa loob. Parang hindi ko kaya bumalik sa ganun,” Darren explained, citing his discomfort with being isolated in a confined space for months.

Despite this, Darren expressed openness to the idea of being a temporary guest in the house, which he’s done several times before. "Kasi nakapasok na ako sa bahay ni kuya parang tatlong beses na po. Nag-hurado ako, tapos dalawang beses na as a guest. Parang sumayaw po kami and stuff like that. So, this time kung guest housemate naman yung titira talaga dun, siguro kung mga ilang araw lang, game lang,” he said.

Although he’s not physically inside the PBB house this year, Darren's presence is still felt through his performance of the new version of the song "Sikat Ang Pinoy," which he recorded with Kapuso singer-actress Julie Anne San Jose.

“Ang bilis lang po namin nag-record ni Ate Julie (Ann San Jose). Saka ang saya, kasama namin si Sir Jonathan (Manalo). Para lang kaming naglalaro din. Kasi the song is very chill. Hindi naman siya yung maraming requirements vocally. Kaya nage-enjoy lang din kami sa recording. It's a fun song to dance along too,” Darren shared about the recording experience.

He also expressed gratitude for the positive feedback they've received from fans about the song: “Natutuwa po ako kasi positive comments yung nakikita namin online.”
