Bob Dela Cruz
- Actor
Bob was born on August 10, 1977, in Loma de Gato, Marilao, Bulacan,
Philippines. Bob and his two brothers were raised as devout Catholics.
Bob served as an acolyte, choir member, catechist, and Hermano Mayor in
their parish. Bob supported himself through college by working as a
food service crew in a fast food chain. After earning a degree in
Physical Therapy, he worked as a pharmacist's assistant in a leading
drugstore and later as a medical representative (territory business
manager) in a pharmaceutical company. In the 2004 elections, Bob ran
for municipal councilor in his hometown, Marilao, but lost. He ranked
9th but there were only eight elective posts. Financial burdens
incurred during the elections forced Bob to contemplate seeking greener
pastures abroad, but he dropped the idea when the chance to join Pinoy
Big Brother came along. Bob's stint in Pinoy Big Brother was cut short
on Day 50 (October 9, 2005) when he was forcibly evicted for medical
reasons.
