Career

Slater Young launched his career by winning the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited. Young was dubbed as "The Hotshot Engineer of Cebu" and was also part of the first batch that entered the house. On Day 155 - the Big Night at the Grandstand (March 31, 2012), he was proclaimed as the show's first male Big Winner of a regular season. He garnered a total of 40.02% of votes with 18.58% lead from 2nd Big Placer, Pamu Pamorada.[1]

Weeks after his winning, Young made several guest appearances in the network and with the premier of the new season of Pinoy Big Brother only a week after his victory, speculations rose that he is pressured of debuting quickly to the entertainment industry.[2] In April 13, Young played his first acting role as a guest star in the series finale of E-Boy opposite Jessy Mendiola.[3] In April 28, Young continued his acting stint via the drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya as Andrei with veteran actress, Dimples Romana and PBB: Unlimited's 4th Big Placer, Paco Evangelista.[4]

Personal Life

Young graduated high school from Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu (previously Sacred Heart School - Jesuit) in the year 2000. He graduated from a degree in Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2005 and subsequently took the Philippine licensure exam but had not passed. In 2006, he retook the exam and eventually passed.

He was born in 1983, not 1987 as many websites claim. If he was born in 1987, he would have been 13 years old when he graduated high school.
