Two Filipino-Aussies in Pinoy Big Brother

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Ylona Jade Garcia is the 3rd among five siblings. Her dad is a pathology technical officer, while her mom is a registered nurse and medical technologist. Having parents who are in the medical field, one would think that Ylona would be interested in the sciences, as well, but her interests lean more toward the performing arts. In fact, Ylona’s star has already started to shine brightly in Australia. At 13, she has already performed as front act for various Filipino artists during their tour in Australia. These artists include Martin Nievera, Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo.

The other is Philip Lampart, husband of Robbie Urqueza who in turn is the pretty daughter of Hazel Urqueza, owner of Golden Globe Travel. Not too long ago, before she became Mrs. Lampart, Robbie was a reigning beauty queen in Sydney. At one time, she won the coveted title of Miss Bicol Philippines. Above, she is shown with her son. The Lamparts will be in the Philippines for the duration of Pinoy Big Brother.
