Looking Back..

there was this pic that caught my attention hours before PBBTEP started. the guy's name was "Robi" daw. i just kinda shrugged it off (but i actually saved the pic for future references, teehee) and went on with stuff.
PBBTEP started already and i was looking forward as they introduced the new housemates.
i was shocked to see that there would be 14 housemates! they introduced the last two housemates already and they were from two rival schools! ADMU and DLSU. and i immediately loved the ADMU guy :P

I immediately went to the former "Celebrities" forum of PEx and tried to make a thread but i saw that Kuya Ed (Johnston) made a thread about him already.

"Teen Housemate: Robi"

there already was a list and i added my name immediately. and i posted:
"go ROBSTERS! ROBINATICS? ROBILOVERS? ROBILIEVERS? "

the other robi fans liked "robilievers" and that was the start of everything. the long list of the robilievers went from 2 members to 110 members 3 days after the launching. amazing, isn't it? :)

there was also a little bit of confusion because of the group name, ROBILOVERS and ROBILIEVERS. but in the end, "robilievers"still prevailed :P

days passed and the list grew longer, the robilievers grew bonds and friendships.

we talked about robi's issues, pics and cutie moments while he was inside the PBB house. he remained as one of the most powerful housemates because of the large number of fans and his awesome personality.
]side kwento: 1 week after March 23, pinag-uusapan na namin yung Big Night tapos assuming kami ni gemi na kasama si robi sa big 4. haha :))]

Robi survived weeks without nominations so the robilievers were still on standby.
during the last half of the show, the housemates started nominating robi because they felt that he was a great threat to them. the robilievers started power voting for him. the robilievers vote with full-force, sharing votes and the very memorable e-pins. (LOL) every week that he was nominated, he remained to be the top housemate, the "hardest-to-beat" housemate. because of that, the housemates consistently nominated him and said some reasons which the robilievers could not really accept. we continued voting for robi because of our BELIEF that he can do it and that we, the robilievers, can make robi the PBBTEP Big Winner. and robilievers' hardwork paid off when it was announced that robi was part of the big 4.

after weeks of voting for him, people hating robi because of some situations and bashers that bash the robilievers even if we just say things to defend our robi, there came the big night. the night that we all waited for.
the robilievers even prepared ribbons and cheers for our dear robi.
we all were in heat while the program was going on.

after the program, robi was announced as the 2nd teen big placer. not bad after 5-6 straight weeks of nomination.

after the big night was the start of the one big fight.

he chose to continue his studies while juggling showbusiness (which gave us great happiness.)

a list of the things that happened after PBB that made the robilievers love robi even more:
- mallshows: the robilievers were always present at every mallshow. we cheered our hearts out just to show our love and support for robi.
- My Girl stint with Josef and Nicole: we all waited for My Girl every night just to get a glimpse of robi.
- Bench endorsement with Ejay and Valerie: we were all proud of robi because of all the housemates, only three of them became Bench models and he was one of the lucky 3. his pictures and posters can be found on selected Bench stores.
- Nokia endorsement: robi was chosen as the First Filipino Endorser of Nokia phones which is considered as one of the biggest achievements Robi and the Robilievers ever had. his pictures and profiles were said to be found on trains, in glossy pages of magazines and in billboards around the country.
- Myx VJ Hunt 2008: we were, once again, in the voting process because of this VJ Hunt. we supported robi through texting and voting for him. all our patience in voting paid off when he was declared as one of the newest Myx VJs. now, we regularly see him on Myx.
- PMPC's Best New Male TV Personality: this is also considered as one of the greatest achievements of Robi and our group. being chosen as the Best New Male TV Personality, Robi was really thrilled and honored.
- Gigger Boys: Robi was also chosen to be part of the all-boys dance group "the Gigger Boys". these boys strut their stuff every sunday on ASAP. Robi was admired by people because of his fast pick-up of dance moves.

i know that many more things are coming through robi's way as 2009 unfolds. and as robilievers, we will never cease to awe people because of our undying support for robi and we will never stop believing in robi.

to all the robilievers, kudos to us!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! :)
