Quinto Participante: Marion Angelo dela Cruz

Here are the profiles of the other two much-awaited "participantes."
Noveno Participante:
Manuel Chua Jr., 27 from Cabanatuan City is the struggling businessman of the show. A self-employed guy fears failure and crocodiles.
Manuel is a good son and an able father to his four-year-old daughter. But years back, he said, there was not a bit of good in him. He had plenty of vices. He was a womanizer and a speed junkie too.
After plenty of mistakes and a few car accidents, a blessing came into his life: his daughter from his current partner. Though his partner is a lawyer and from a well-to-do family, Manuel wants to be the provider of his own family.
He runs a business he inherited from his father. But running the appliance store is a big challenge for Manuel. Before his father passed away because of liver cirrhosis, they had 36 branches all over Luzon. Now, they only have three branches left.
He said however he will not stop struggling for his lifetime responsibility. Everyday, he struggles to keep the business alive. Everyday, he struggles to provide for his daughter.
And now, in "Pinoy Fear Factor," he will make sure that his struggles will lead him to winning the P2-M and the house and lot; for the family business and for his daughter.
Decimo Participante:
Bernabe "RJ" Calipus Jr., 20, a stevedore from Parola, Tondo fears heights. RJ is a son of a Filipina and of a French national.
However, he never met his biological parents. Her mother had him adopted because she can no longer support him.
Life seems fast for this "Tondo" boy. He had his first daughter when he was 17 and just a few months ago, his live-in partner gave birth to their second daughter. RJ said he can endure his hunger but he can't stand to see his daughters sick and hungry. That is why he takes any job he can so he can provide for his family. However, he only finished 2nd year high school so he bears jobs like wharf porters and kargador in Divisoria. And at night, he takes up automotive classes.
'Pinoy Fear Factor" will hopefully give way for a number of first-times for RJ: First time to be out of the country, first time to ride on a plane, first time to be seen on TV and first time to be given the opportunity to compete for P2 million and (hopefully his family's first) brand new house and lot.
