Paco Evangelista
Born on July 28, 1985, Paco Evangelista from General Santos City is a responsible son who has given a chance to finish high school in an Art School and an alumni of a well-known university. He has been a good man until series of challenges came into his personal and love life. His father was hospitalized, his business went bankrupt and his long-time girlfriend left him.
He wished to enter the Pinoy Big Brother house to find himself. A lot of weight is on his shoulders as his townmates from GenSan will be hoping that just like Gerald Anderson (3rd place Winner, PBB Teens) and Melai Cantiveros (Grand Winner, PBB Double Up) before him, he could prove to everyone that indeed, he is worthy of their support, being from the Home of Champions!
He was evicted on Day 106, but was later reassigned as a House Player. On Day 141, he was voted as a wildcard housemate.

“I want to find myself.”
‘Yan ang priority ni Paco sa pagpasok ng bahay ni Kuya. Napansin niya kasi na lahat ng pumasok sa PBB, may sinasabing pagbabago sa sarili at sa buhay. A man of many interests, marami siyang sinubukan at inaral na mga bagay. Kapag naaliw siya sa isang bagay, gaya nalang ng pagluluto at pagsasayaw, maghahanap siya ng video sa YouTube at aaralin ito. “I tried to learn the dougie once. It was fun! I also tried DJ-ing, but I never had the equipment for it so I just know it in theory.” Mahilig siya sa pag-perform, kaya naman may experience din siya sa theater at ballet, pati na din paggaya ng iba’t ibang accents.
Buo ang loob ni Paco na madali siyang makaka-adjust sa mga ibang housemates. “Sa tingin ko, sa training ko, I can communicate well. Marunong din naman akong makinig. I can make people laugh. I think I’d get along well with smart people, someone who I can learn from. Also those with a background in the arts. If they’re pretty, I’d love to get along with them!” Aminado siyang weakness niya ang pagiging prangka sa pagsasalita at dapat niyang ingatan na hindi maging presko sa pakikipag-usap sa mga kasama. Nakikita niya ang sarili bilang entertainer, leader, o communicator ng grupo. Kung hindi man, ok din namang house cook ang role niya, featuring his specialty: beef stroganoff! http://pbb.abs-cbn.com

OTHER INFORMATION:
Isang theater actor, graphic designer at law student: ito si Paco, ang Hopeless Romantic ng Gen San.
Bata pa lamang ay nakitaan na ng kahusayan si Paco sa pag-arte at siya ay pinag-aral ng kanyang ina sa isang drama school. May mga panahon mang nawalan si Paco ng gana sa pag-arte ay pinilit pa rin niyang makatapos sa high school. Kumuha siya ng computer engineering course sa kolehiyo at sa kanyang pag-graduate, ay ginamit niya ang kaalamang ito para siya ay magtayo ng sariling graphic design company. Sa kanyang kumpanyang ito nakilala ang babaeng nagpatibok ng kanyang puso.
Naging matagumpay si Paco ngunit kinalauna’y nagsuno-sunod ang naging dagok sa kanyang buhay. Taong 2008 ay pumanaw ang kanyang ama, bumagsak ang kanyang kumpanya at iniwan siya ng babaeng kanyang pinag-alayan ng oras at pagmamahal.
Naging depressed si Paco at piniling magmukmok sa kanyang kwarto. Hindi rin nagtagal ay ginugol niya ang kanyang oras sa pagkuha ng kursong abogasya sa isang unibersidad sa Mindanao.
Tatlong taon na ang lumipas ngunit aminado siyang hindi pa tuluyang naghihilom ang sugat ng kanyang nakaraan. Mapawi kaya ang sakit at kalungkutang matagal nang dinaramdam ni Paco sa kanyang pagpasok sa Bahay ni Kuya?
