Vivoree Esclito
Maria Vivoree Niña Matutes Esclito (English: /ˈvaɪvoʊriː/ VAI-vəu-ree; Tagalog: [ˌvaɪ̯voˈɾi ɛsˈklɪtɔ]; born August 3, 2000), known mononymously as Vivoree, is a Filipino singer, actress, television personality, model, and content creator. She first rose to prominence as one of the teen contestants on the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7. Over the years, Esclito has achieved further recognition for work in film, music, and television, most notably as a main cast member of the teen romantic comedy series He's Into Her and the boys' love (BL) romantic comedy series Hello Stranger.
Jason Tan Liwag of Rappler named Esclito as a standout actor in the 2021 film adaptation of the latter. She is also known for her online presence and commercial modeling work. In 2025, an essay published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Young Blood column praised Esclito's The Iron Heart character Penelope for providing positive Visayan representation, noting that "her morena skin and language—with Bisaya lines delivered flawlessly by Esclito, whose mother tongue is Bisaya in real life—weren’t used as punchlines."
On August 17, 2025, Esclito became the first actor to also sing live at a Wish Date event. The Wish Date concert series, organized by Wish 107.5, combines short films with live musical storytelling. She also starred as a character inspired by Jolina Magdangal, Lyn-lyn/Jo-C, in the Netflix original musical romance film One Hit Wonder. It premiered on the streaming service on August 21.
Esclito was born Maria Vivoree Niña Matutes Esclito on August 3, 2000, in Loon, Bohol. She is the eldest of three siblings. Her mother, Tetchie Esclito, is an elementary school teacher. Her father, Jun Esclito, is a seafarer from Davao Oriental. Esclito briefly lived in Davao as a child, before moving back to Bohol with her family. She had a premature birth. When Esclito was newly born, a doctor told her mother that she was unlikely to survive. Her name, Vivoree, comes from the English word survivor.
Esclito completed her elementary school education at the Holy Name University, where her mother also teaches. She pursued her secondary education at the Tagbilaran City Science High School. Esclito once competed in a beauty pageant in high school, but according to her, the experience was so "traumatic" it made her never want to join another one. In 2016, she joined the ABS-CBN reality competition show Pinoy Big Brother. Her stint on the show interrupted her education. In May 2020, Esclito graduated from high school under a homeschool program by the Catholic Filipino Academy. She received a character award for generosity and an academic award for Philippine politics and governance. She is studying entrepreneurship at Thames International College.
On August 3, 2016, the Philippine talk show Tonight with Boy Abunda introduced Esclito as the "Go-Getter Girl ng (of) Bohol", a new teen "housemate" (contestant) on Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7, the seventh season of Pinoy Big Brother. She was celebrating her 16th birthday at the time. Esclito admitted to the host, Boy Abunda, that she experienced bullying due to her hairiness. She was the third teen housemate to be introduced to the public, after the German-Filipino Edward Barber and Yong Muhajil from Zamboanga. She intentionally cried during her audition for Lucky 7, believing that it would increase her chances of joining the reality show. Esclito was eliminated from Lucky 7 on Day 101 of the season, shortly following the elimination of fellow teen housemate, the Italian-Filipino Marco Gallo.
Fresh from her stint on Lucky 7, Esclito enrolled in acting workshops. Her father did not approve of her pursuit of showbiz, urging her to return to Bohol and focus on her education. He gave Esclito an ultimatum, saying that if she failed to secure a project offer a month after her elimination from Lucky 7, she would need to come home. Esclito's lack of work following her Lucky 7 stint, particularly in comparison to Maymay Entrata and Kisses Delavin, who had participated in the same season and found instant success in the industry, took a toll on her mental health. However, Esclito was offered a project before the deadline, so her pursuit of showbiz continued. In 2017, Esclito appeared on three ABS-CBN programs: episodes of the anthology drama programs Maalaala Mo Kaya (lit. 'Would You Remember') and Ipaglaban Mo! (lit. 'Fight For It!') and the weekly variety show ASAP. The year marked a slow start for Esclito's career as an actress.
In 2018, Esclito auditioned for the romance drama series Araw Gabi (lit. 'Day Night') and met the actor Charles Kieron for the first time. On May 6, an advertising specialist for ABS-CBN posted on Twitter that Esclito and Kieron were filming for a new episode of Ipaglaban Mo!. Many fans assumed that the two would be paired up in the episode. In reality, Kieron's character was courting the sister of Esclito's character. Nonetheless, the idea of Kieron and Esclito becoming a love team gained popularity.
