Ejay Falcon, who was one of 14 housemates of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus

, Oriental Mindoro
where there is scarcity of water and electricity and where watching TV is the sole form of entertainment for the residents. In the said show (PBBTEP), it was later revealed that although he was raised by the Filipino father he has known since childhood, his biological father is actually a Frenchman
whom his mother met in Manila. In a news article, it was mentioned that like children his age in the province where he grew up, Ejay is already helping his father earn a living by fishing, raising chickens, planting vegetables and carrying sacks of copra to sell in the neighboring towns at a young age.He's also a proud member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ).
when he was little and they never heard anything from her for a long time so at the age of 15, he went to Manila
to look for her, only to find out that she had another family. During his three-year stay in Manila, he went to University of Manila
and took a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management but was forced to quit school because of financial problems. It was also during that time that he met his manager, showbiz hairstylist Benjie Alipio, who took him in as a talent and entered him in Circle of 10 talent search. He did not win any title in the said talent search but it served as his ticket to get guest stints in various TV shows.
started, Ejay auditioned and got in as one of the official housemates of PBBTEP. Clad in a Tarzan costume, he was introduced as "Promdi Hottie of Mindoro" who had trouble with technological gadgets and elevators when he first visited Manila. He was the first housemate to get inside the Pinoy Big Brother house.
On day 75, he was proclaimed the Big Winner—the battle between him and PBBTEP's second teen placer Robi Domingo
was the closest in PBB history but he emerged the winner in the end with 36.31% of votes against the latter's 34.39%.

Upon leaving the PBBTEP house, Ejay was immediately plagued by intrigues. Rumors went out that votes during the Big Night were manipulated in his favor and that he did not deserve to win his title. He was also plagued with questions hinting that he used to be a callboy and that he is not a real promdi (province boy). He denied these issues and said that he leaves the decision to God to judge his detractors. Furthermore, Laurenti Dyogi, the director of PBBTEP, defended him from these allegations saying that he won not just because he was poor but because he changed a lot and shared himself in PBBTEP.
