Early life and education

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.^[1] 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.^[1][2]

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.^[3] In 2016, she joined the ABS-CBN reality competition show Pinoy Big Brother. Her stint on the show interrupted her education.^[1] 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.^[4]

Career

Film and television

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.^[5] She intentionally cried during her audition for Lucky 7, believing that it would increase her chances of joining the reality show.^[3] 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.^[6]

Fresh from her stint on Lucky 7, Esclito enrolled in acting workshops.^[7] 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.^[2] However, Esclito was offered a project before the deadline, so her pursuit of showbiz continued.^[7] 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.^[1]

Esclito in 2017

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.^[8][9]

Esclito portrayed the recurring character Charie Tamayo in the action drama series Asintado (lit. 'Sharpshooter'), her first afternoon teleserye, and AJ Punzalan in Since I Found You, her first primetime drama series, alongside established actors Piolo Pascual and Alessandra de Rossi.^[1] She landed her first lead role in the urban fantasy miniseries Wansapanataym Presents: ManiKEN ni Monica^[a]. The miniseries starred Esclito as Monica, an insecure young woman hoping to win the affections of her crush, Yoshi. She meets Ken, portrayed by Jerome Ponce, a fashion model cursed by a witch to become a mannequin due to his vanity. Monica strikes up an unlikely friendship with Ken, who needs unconditional love to become human again. ManiKEN aired from September 30 to November 4.^[10][11][12] Kieron played Esclito's love interest in all three series, and their love team, known by the portmanteau name "KierVi", was officially established by ABS-CBN.^[9]

Esclito played Mildred on the highly successful gothic horror series The Killer Bride, which aired from October 2019 to January 2020. Esclito and Kieron portrayed each other's love interest once again.^[13] They attended the ABS-CBN Ball together in 2018 and 2019.^[14][15]

In March 2019, Esclito appeared in the music video for the Regine Velasquez song "I Am Beautiful", along with other stars such as Nadine Lustre.

In 2020, Esclito was among the roster of pioneer stars signed under Rise Artists Studio, a newly launched training and management subsidiary of ABS-CBN Films, in collaboration with Star Magic. The contract signing was held on February 6, 2020.^[18]

Esclito then appeared on Maalaala Mo Kaya episode "Ilog" in which she played the younger counterpart of Elvira (Vina Morales). This appearance yet again created a buzz among netizens as she reunited with former onscreen partner JC Alcantara, and has earned praises for Vivoree's improved acting alongside veteran Marissa Delgado.

On June 14, 2020, Black Sheep Productions, a division of ABS-CBN Films, previewed a teaser about their launching their first boys' love series at the height of the popularity of 2gether: The Series, a Thai boys' love series.^[19] Vivoree was announced to be a part of the cast and was later revealed to be playing the role Kookai Yambao, a friend of Mico Ramos played by JC Alcantara, she harbors unrequited feelings for the latter.

She filmed some of her scenes in Cebu and said that she felt at home during filming because of its proximity to her home province, Bohol.^[23][24]

Esclito at the premiere of In His Mother's Eyes in 2023

In September 2023, fashion and pop culture magazine Nylon Manila reported that Esclito was filming for the then-upcoming drama movie In His Mother's Eyes.^[25] The film premiered in November, receiving mixed reviews. Despite criticizing several aspects of the movie, such as the cinematography and the characters' "inconsistent and unreasonable" actions, prominent film blogger Goldwin Reviews commended Esclito's performance, calling her presence in the film "nakakatuwa" (delightful).

It modernizes the story to suit the Gen Z cast and characters.^[27] The play received mixed reviews. Eric Cabahug of Daily Tribune described Ilog as pleasant, but uninteresting.^[28] Kate Alvarez of Esquire Philippines wrote that Esclito and Akira Morishita were endearing as the play's main couple Eds and Rovic, but she hoped for a deeper exploration of other pairings as well.^[29] From November to December 2024, Esclito reprised her role as Eds in Ilog.^[26]

Modeling

Esclito appeared on the cover of Village Pipol's September 2018 issue, alongside Awra Briguela. In the cover story, writer Lara Toldanes described Esclito as a "remarkable" Gen Z rising star with "charismatic beauty" and an "exceptional gift of angelic voice".^[30] In November 2019, she graced the cover of the fashion and art magazine Blnc, where she modeled for photographer Stephen Capuchino, with art direction by Jobo Nacpil.

Fashion

Esclito's beaded red gown at the 2019 ABS-CBN Ball caused controversy. The gown, which was designed by Dominique Dy, was meant to evoke "modern Filipiniana". However, on the day before the ball, the gown's heavy beads reportedly damaged its fabric and the designer was forced to redo the top part from scratch. As a result of the mishap, the gown was unfinished when Esclito attended the ball. Some publications listed Esclito's unfinished gown as one of the "worst" outfits that night.^[15][47]

In April 2023, Hannah Mallorca of The Philippine Daily Inquirer named Esclito one of the 10 best-dressed celebrities at ABS-CBN's inaugural Star Magic Prom. She declared Esclito to be the diamond of the night, a reference to Bridgerton, the popular TV series that inspired the event's theme.^[48]

In June 2020, Esclito expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

This was widely understood to signal support for Robredo's presidential bid.^[52]
