Ruben Gonzaga wins Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition

January 6th, 2008 --

Commediane Ruben Gonzaga of Davao City was announced the winner in the recently concluded Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.

Congratulations Ruben on Your Win!!!

Although relatively unknown in Manila, Ruben is quite a celebrity in Davao. Working for ABS-CBN Davao, Ruben is popularly known as a member of the channel’s Joke Squad. He is also a stand-up comic in various bars with his trademark screaming faggot act. He’s become so good at it that everyone who sees him perform assumes he is gay. But this comedian is actually a ladies man and is already married with 2 kids.

Ruben is most famous in the South for “Budots”, naming his crazy dance steps after the slang term for bum in Davao. But despite the fame, Ruben is struggling to keep his head above the water. Right now, he is earning enough to get by and doesn’t want his family to experience the impoverished life he had before. Ruben is working hard to help his parents and finally buy his dream house.[source]
