From classroom chaos to celebrity overload, Esnyr’s new YouTube series “First Day High” brings a fresh dose of high school nostalgia, featuring Vice Ganda, Donny Pangilinan, Belle Mariano, and Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemates in one ensemble cast.
On June 14, Esnyr premiered the first episode of “First Day High,” a new installment in his popular “high school multiverse” that humorously explores the everyday experiences of Filipino students, from classroom antics and friendships to teenage romance.
“FINALLY MAY NEW EPISODE NA! Eto na ang PINAKA-PASABOG na comeback para sainyo,” Esnyr wrote on Instagram while sharing a teaser of the series.
The social media personality also revealed the amount of work that went into the project, which had been in development for months.
“At last, pwede ko na siya i-share. For the past three months, we’ve been quietly working and pouring our time, effort, and yes… medyo malaking budget on this one. Kaya sana worth it ang paghihintay niyo!” he added.
The larger production scale became evident through the show’s impressive lineup of celebrity guests and cast members, including comedian-host Vice Ganda, reel couple Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, as well as Enchong Dee, Empoy Marquez, and Donna Cariaga, among others.
Joining them are Esnyr’s fellow PBB housemates Brent Manalo, Mika Salamanca, Will Ashley, Shuvee Etrata, Klarisse de Guzman, and Krystal Mejes.
Brent reprises his presence, alongside Anthony Constantino and Shan Vesagas, who have become recurring faces as love interests in past installments of Esnyr’s high school series.
The series also features internet personalities Mimiyuuuh, Queen Dura, Dorinil, and viral content creator Ian Mark Kamangkang, popularly known as the “Pitik Queen.”
Following the episode’s release, award-winning filmmaker Kip Oebanda praised Esnyr’s work, particularly his storytelling and editing skills.
“Kung ako sa producers susugal ako ng full length film kay Esnyr. Pwedeng next YouTuber filmmaker sya. Gets n’ya ang edit, music at [camera] angles. Gets niya ang masa,” Oebanda said.
“Siya rin nagsusulat, I know this [because] I co-wrote the Heartbreak episode so alam ko paano s’ya mag script. This is a rare talent and effort so please support by not pirating and watching,” he added.
The premiere episode has since surpassed 10 million views on YouTube just two days after its release.
