The Gentle Giant
This 6'4 teenage hunk learned to play ball when he was in the second grade with kids older than him in a half court near his home. Playing basketball was a natural thing for him to get into since his dad was also a basketball player in his youth. Growing faster than most of his peers, he was already playing for the baranggay teams at 12. And at age 16, he was already 6 feet tall. But despite his success in the court, Jolas had several setbacks in school and took his sophomore year thrice. The first two times, computer games got in the way of school; the third time was a special requirement for his scholarship as a varsity player at the FEUHigh School. Yet, Jolas never gave up and learned his lesson well. As Captain Ball of the FEU Team in his senior year, he brought his team all the way to the championship Finals. He also now has concrete plans for the future: Jolas is aiming for a scholarship in a university and finish a degree in Sports Science. After pursuing a basketball career (or even simultaneously), maybe he could try out for a modeling or acting career.
Far from being a delinquent, Jolas keeps in mind some tidbits of wisdom: Think twice, ‘wag basta-basta, kailangan matiyaga. Will he be able to hang on to these life lessons in dealing with Kuya’s tasks? Will his being a joker help him in establishing closer relationships with the other housemates?
