PBB auditions are held online through the Kumu app where auditionees must publish a one-minute video introduction.
PBB Connect is the ninth season and the 15th edition of the phenomenal reality show. Since its inception in 2005, the Bahay ni Kuya has given birth to some of the big names in the entertainment industry like Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, James Reid, Maymay Entrata, and Sam Milby.
Meanwhile, several netizens have chided possible auditionees who publicly went against ABS-CBN during the time of its franchise renewal.
In his tweet, @SirRenzSaavedra shard a scenario when a pro-ABSCBN shutdown suddenly auditioned to be a new PBB housemate.
“sis, diba pro-ABSCBN Shutdown ka?tapos ngayon mag-aaudition ka sa PBB??? potacca”

Another netizen meanwhile pointed out why DDS auditionees will not escape the scrutiny of the public.
“Bakit daw may nangbabash sa mga dds na magau-audition sa PBB. Ganito kasi yon, how can you possibly join a show from a network that you were throwing stones at, before? It’s like putting your hands on fire even though you know it will hurt. You get my gist,” @aymLloyd tweeted.

Another netizen @lsbeniga on the other hand shared how a PBB staff would likely react to a DDS auditionee.
“dds: i would like to audition for pbb pbb officials: this you? *shows a post #/yes to abscbnshutdown in her socials”

And another one pointed out how funny it is for a DDS who claimed and spread fake news about ABS-CBN not paying proper tax and or violated the laws of the land but would suddenly ask how to audition in the newest season of PBB.
“Yung may friend kang DDS at claiming na maraming di nababayarang tax ang ABS-CBN (as if working sa BIR), biglang nag-DM… “Paano mag-audition sa PBB?” Teh, SEEN ka, “ @PrincessFrance tweetes.
