“When there’s a will, there’s a way.” Such is the driving principle in Patria’s life. When her family had nothing to eat, she joined a pizza-eating contest and brought home a box of pizza for her family. Patria has no qualms about asserting herself. Just try to call her by her first name and expect an instant reprimand. Her job as a medical representative requires her to travel a lot to meet her quota, with hustling and shoving just part of the job description, but this does not stop her. What she is not rushing, though, is love. “Ang pag-ibig ay parang bus. If you don’t catch this ride, there’s always the next bus.” Will that bus come for her while inside the PBB house?

What would you consider your greatest accomplishment?
Graduating from college.
What/who will you miss the most upon entering the PBB House?
I will miss my friends and family. Mami-miss ko din mag-ukay-ukay.
If you can be a celebrity for a day, who would you be and why?
Kris Aquino. Matalino at frank kasi siya na tao.
Do you think you can get along with the other housemates? Why?
Oo. Nakaksundo ko naman iba't ibang klaseng tao dahil iba't iba ang approach ko sa kanila.
What would irritate and annoy you the most inside the house?
Pag seryoso yung ginagawa ko tapos kinukulit ako.
