Ejay Lasap Falcon is a Filipino-French[1] model and actor who is currently a contract artist of ABS-CBN. He is also the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus.[1]

Ejay Falcon, who was one of 14 housemates of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus (PBBTEP), was born on November 21, 1989. He grew up in Pola, Oriental Mindoro where there is scarcity of water and electricity and where watching TV is the sole form of entertainment for the residents[2]. He may not look like a typical province boy with his foreign features which he got from his French biological father but Ejay's life was no different from kids of his age in Pola who had to work at an early age to make ends meet. At a young age, Ejay is already helping his father earn a living by carrying sacks of copra to sell in the neighboring towns[3]. He also learned to fish, raise chickens and plant vegetables to sustain his family's needs and earn his allowance in school[4][5].

First Visit in Manila

Ejay's mother left Mindoro when he was little and they never heard anything from her for a long time[4][6]. At the age of 15, he went to Manila to look for her, only to find out that she had another family.[citation needed] During his three-year stay in Manila, he went to University of Manila and took a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management but was forced to quit school because of financial problems[7]. It was also during that time that he met his manager, showbiz hairstylist Benjie Alipio, who took him in as a talent and entered him in Circle of 10 talent search[5][7]. He did not win any title in the said talent search but it served as his ticket to get guest stints in various TV shows[5].

Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus

When the second season of Pinoy Big Brother started, he auditioned and got in as one of the official housemates of PBBTEP. Clad in a Tarzan costume, he was introduced as "Promdi Hottie of Mindoro" who had trouble with technological gadgets and elevators when he first visited Manila. He was the first housemate to get inside the Pinoy Big Brother house[4].

On day 75, he was proclaimed the Big Winner--the battle between him and PBBTEP's second teen placer Robi Domingo was the closest in PBB history but he emerged the winner in the end with 36.31% of votes against the latter's 34.39%[8]. His 620,934 votes earned him a title of "Big Winner", a P1.5 million business package from the Crystal Clear water purifiying company, a laptop, a kitchen showcase, a 46-inch LCD television set, a condo unit, and a cash prize of P1 million[8].

Ejay, however, was immediately plagued by intrigues after he got out of the Big Brother house. Rumors went out that votes during the Big Night were manipulated in his favor and that he did not deserve to win his title. He was also plagued with questions hinting that he used to be a callboy and that he is not a real promdi (province boy).[citation needed] He denied these issues and said that he leaves the decision to God to judge his detractors[7]. Furthermore, Laurenti Dyogi, the director of PBBTEP, defended him from these allegations saying that he won not just because he was poor but because he changed a lot and shared himself in PBBTEP[9].

Entering Showbiz

Ejay's first acting stint after PBBTEP, around late 2008, was when he guested in an episode of That's My Doc with fellow housemate, Valerie Weigmann[10]. He has already guested in various TV shows of ABS-CBN and is part of the third season of TV5's Lipgloss [11]. He is currently a part of the cast of Habang May Buhay, a primetime tv series of ABS-CBN which started airing this 2010[12][13]. He also played the leading man with Erich Gonzales in ABS-CBN's drama series entitled Katorse. He also made a guest appearance in ABS-CBN's top-rating primetime drama series, May Bukas Pa, this April 2009, but now he's a recurring cast of this teleserye.

Currently, Ejay is the model/endorser of Bench, Converse, Lacoste, Olive-C Soap and Afficcionado Perfumes.
