MANILA - Bohol native Vivoree Esclito has been evicted from the "Pinoy Big Brother" house on Saturday after garnering the least number of public votes among the nominated teen housemates.

Esclito got 17.42 percent, or more than 20 percentage points less the second-most number of votes. Her elimination meant that Kisses Delavin and Yong Muhajil are safe for at least another week. All three were up for eviction after losing a challenge to the other housemates.

An aspiring singer, Esclito said that she joined the reality show to help overcome her insecurities about her looks. She was often teased as "balbon" by her peers. She said that by being more confident in herself, she can freely pursue her dream to perform in front of an audience.

During her stint, she was romantically linked with Filipino-Italian Marco Gallo, who was evicted last week.
