Just a few weeks after PBB Celebrity Edition, the new Pinoy BigBrother Teen Edition is up on April 27, 2006.

A teen version of PinoyBig Brother, tentatively as PinoyBigBrother :Teen Edition is in the works, to be shown in the Philippine “summer months” of April and May, when children and teenagers take their vacation from school. This edition will premiere on April 23, roughly three weeks after the end of the Celebrity Edition. It will feature teenagers aged from 16 to 18 years old as housemates.

Auditions in Cebu, Davao, and Metro Manila were held and 30,000 teens answered the audition call. Of these, twelve are selected; eight will come from the Manila editions while the remaining four will represent the VisMin area.
