this is an article from Wikipedia about PBB Teen edition... Just want to share...
Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition is the edition of Pinoy Big Brother for adolescents 16 to 18 years old currently shown on the ABS-CBN network. It began on April 23, 2006, three weeks after the end of the Celebrity Edition. It will run for six weeks (42 days) and will closely resemble the original show, unlike the relatively short Teen Big Brother, its British counterpart. The prizes include a condominium unit in Valenzuela City, a livelihood showcase, one million pesos, and an all-expense paid trip to any Philippine destination.
During the last few days of the above-mentioned Celebrity Edition, auditions in Cebu City, Davao City, and Metro Manila were announced, and 30,000 teenagers answered the audition call. Of these, twelve housemates were selected: eight represented the Luzon area (all from the Metro Manila auditions) while four came from the Visayas (Cebu auditions) and Mindanao (Davao auditions).
Mariel Rodriguez takes over as main host of the the primetime edition, while former Celebrity Edition contestant Bianca Gonzalez hosts the UpLate edition of the show.
The theme song for this new edition is "Kabataang Pinoy" (Filipino Youth) by Itchyworms, which contains a familiar line from the original theme song "Pinoy Ako". The new theme song was first performed by the band during the Celebrity Edition's finale on April 1, 2006.
For this edition, the house is redecorated with a pop art theme. The colors of the walls are changed, and even the living area has a mural with pop art depictions of Mao Zedong, Bruce Lee, and Marilyn Monroe, to name a few. The housemates are also provided with a foosball table and a billiard table.
Also, for one week, traffic lights and road signs were installed to teach the young housemates about helping their country in little ways by obeying traffic rules.
Housemates
The twelve original housemates were introduced in the grand welcome party on April 23, 2006 near the facade of the Pinoy Big Brother house.

Chronology
April 23: The 12 housemates entered the house by pairs. [Theme: modern generation - jackets and motobikes]
April 30: First nomination night - Mikki, Olyn, and Niña were nominated [Theme: Indegenous Filipino Clothing].
May 1: Joaquin entered the house as Aldred's replacement.
May 4: Big Brother announced that aside from either Niña or Olyn (the two remaining nominees for eviction), one from among the other housemates will be evicted forcedly from the house that coming Saturday. He didn't name a particular housemate, but he said that he did so out of the violations various housemates have committed. It was revealed two days later that Joaqui, Fred, Bam, and Gerald were committing those violations.
May 7: Second nomination night - Joaqui, Fred, Jamilla, and Clare were nominated. Brenda entered the house as Bam's replacement [Theme: Superheroes].
Elimination notes
Aldred - Since the show started, he had a difficult time adjusting to his new environment and new housemates and he never resolved his problems. So he made up his mind on Day 6 (April 28) to take a voluntary exit the next day, Day 7 (April 29). News of this reached his fellow housemates, who were saddened by it because of his good impression to them. The day of his exit was supposed to be the day of the first nomination night, but his exit moved the schedule of the nomination process to the next day. Two days later, new housemate Joaqui took his place. It was widely speculated before he left that Aldred was the housemate rumored to be underaged, hence his voluntary exit (although the producers still casted him as he had "matured beyond his age"). However, in his first interview a week after his exit, the main reason is homesickness and the pressure to fit in.
Mikki - With 26.4% of the vote among the three nominated housemates, she was the first housemate officially evicted from the house on Day 11 (May 3). The other two unnamed housemates had 42.3% and 32.3% of the remaining votes.
Bam - Among the four housemates mentioned by Big Brother (see note in Chronolgy above), he committed the gravest violations, and therefore was forcibly evicted by Big Brother on Day 14 (May 6). This was done as disciplinary action for violations such as talking without the lapel microphone, writing using pen and paper, using hand signals, whispering, talking when told not to, etc. The next day, new housemate Brenda entered the house to take Bam's place.
Niña - With 42.7% of the votes, she became the second housemate officially evicted from the house on Day 14 (May 6) following Bam. Olyn, the other nominee that week, earned 57.3%.
Joaqui and Fred - On Day 21 (May 13), both Joaqui and Fred were evicted from the house, as they are the two lowest vote-getters among the four nominees. They each obtained 12.6% and 19.5% of the votes respectively. The two other nominees, Clare and Jamilla, got 28% and 39.9% of the votes, respectively. It was announced after Niña's exit that two housemates would be evicted on the same night every week until four are left in the house.
