First Batch
The First Batch consists of sixteen housemates. Fifteen entered the house on Day 1. The first seven housemates, who lived simple lives, occupied the Villa (House A), while eight other housemates, with affluent backgrounds or interests, occupied the Apartment (House B). The ages of the housemates indicate their ages upon entry to the house. They are also ordered below according to entrance.
On Day 2, the final housemate, Maichel, finally entered the house as part of the Villa. He takes the place of an unnamed female potential housemate whose participation was not cleared by doctors by the show's staff due to the length of time of the tests she would undergo.
On Day 8, Big Brother uninformally told Joe and Tricia to swap places. Both housemates did not manage to bring any items and clothes with them during the swap.
On Day 16, all the first batch housemates merged into one house (Villa) while the Apartment was left without residents resulting on the need of bedspacers, later to be revealed as the Teenternational housemates.
On Day 27, as part of the consequences for the weekly task, a housemate from the opposite team were held imprisoned by the opposite house who won one of the competitions. The Pinoy housemates lost in Round 2, causing Fretzie to be imprisoned in the Apartment.
