MANILA, Philippines - Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) 737 Second Big Placer Tommy Esguerra (photo) makes his acting debut tonight as he stars in his own life story in Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK).
Tommy grew up in Long Beach, California to a broken family after his parents got divorced. However, as he and his siblings grew up, his mother became stricter and harsher, wanting them not to be led astray.
Tommy became suffocated by his mother’s disciplining and started to reason out against her, until he ran away from home to avoid the stress in the family.
Their relationship was further strained when his mother strongly opposed Tommy’s desire to get into modeling.
Despite this, he went to the Philippines to try his luck as a model and eventually joined PBB to prove to his family that he can achieve his dreams.
Joining the MMK episode are Aiko Melendez, Cris Villanueva, John Spainhour, Claire Ruiz, Markki Stroem, Josh Ford, Asley Colet, Rochelle Barrameda, Eucar Benedicto and Tom Doromal. The episode was directed by Nuel Naval and written by Benson Logronio. MMK is led by business unit head Malou Santos.
