A milestone in Philippine television was marked as GMA Network and ABS-CBN Studios joined forces for the first “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.” Social media personality Mika Salamanca and actor Brent Manalo were named the Big Winner Duo during the much-awaited Big Night held last Saturday at the New Frontier Theater.

 

Sparkle Artist Center’s Salamanca, also known as Ang Controversial Ca-Babe-Len ng Pampanga, and Star Magic’s Manalo, Ang Gentle-Linong Heartthrob ng Tarlac, emerged victorious after garnering 33.03 percent of total public votes. Each took home the grand prize of Php 1 million in prize money.

 

Following closely as the Second Big Placer Duo were Will Ashley and Ralph De Leon with 25.88 percent of the total votes, receiving P500,000 each. The ChaRes Duo—Charlie Fleming and Esnyr—took the Third Big Placer spot with a close 22.91 percent share of the votes, bagging P300,000 each. Rounding up the top four was the AzVer duo of AZ Martinez and River Joseph with 8.77 percent, taking home P200,000 each.

The “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition: The Big Night” kicked off with an exciting number featuring GMA Network’s Prime Gem Bianca Umali and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee together with the PBB Collab ex-housemates Ashley Ortega, AC Bonifacio, Michael Sager, Emilio Daez, Josh Ford, Kira Balinger, Vince Maristela, Xyriel Manabat, Shuvee Etrata, Klarisse De Guzman, and Dustin Yu.

 

And for the last time this season, Bianca Gonzalez alongside Sparkle artist and Global endorser Gabbi Garcia, Star Magic’s Robi Domingo, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee and Kim Chiu welcomed everyone to celebrate the biggest PBB event to date. Joining them were PBB OnlineVerse hosts Sparkle artist Mavy Legaspi and Star Magic talent Alexa Ilacad.

 

Providing a stirring performance of this year’s eviction night theme song, “Paalam Muna Sandali,” an original song of Darren Espanto, were The Clashers and Tawag Ng Tanghalan Resbakers, together with ex-housemate Klarisse De Guzman. Meanwhile, Houseguest and Kuya’s official messenger for this season, Donny Pangilinan made the night extra special as he delivered the envelopes containing the final results.

 

Staying true to its advocacy, Pinoy Big Brother, with the help of this season’s housemates and viewers, raised a total of Php 1 million to be donated to the GMA Kapuso Foundation and ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation. Just before the show ends, the fans were given something to look forward to: the upcoming Fan Meet called "The Big ColLove” happening this August 10, 2025 at the Araneta Coliseum.

Viewers can watch the highlights and relive the moments of "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition: The Big Night" on GMA Network and Pinoy Big Brother's YouTube account.

Big surprises and twists are set to unravel as the much anticipated phenomenal reality show “Pinoy Big Brother” (PBB) returns this Sunday, April 27 in Australia, Guam, Japan, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia (Monday, April 28 in New Zealand) via The Filipino Channel (TFC).

Titled “PBB All In” and hosted by Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzalez, John Prats, Robi Domingo, and new host, Alex Gonzaga, the newest PBB edition will feature housemates aged 15-30 years old who will live together inside the famous “Bahay ni Kuya” or PBB house and together will face tough challenges for 100 days.

But before the grand reveal, viewers will have a sneak peek on some of the housemates in “ASAP 19” and “Buzz ng Bayan.”



“Viewers can never really expect anything because what happens inside the PBB house is always unexpected. We are just as excited as them. We look forward to what will happen, the new tasks, and the clash of different personalities,” said Gonzaga who has hosted the show since its first season and still remains excited knowing the show has always something new to offer.

“I was only 21 when I joined PBB. It is no longer a job for me, it is already my second family. I have matured and grown not only as a host but as a person,” she added.



Gonzales, like Gonzaga, has been a face of the show since the first teen edition. “The challenge for us hosts is to keep people interested and keep it relevant. It gets easier in the sense that we know what the program is all about, but challenging in the sense that we should please people since they have already seen everything,” shared Gonzales.

Gonzales adds, “We have already had ten editions, so somehow, other housemates think they know how to play the game. With the new season, we want to bring back the rawness from season 1 and the genuine mix of housemates.”

Gonzales will also team-up again with Prats and Domingo, along with the newest host and Gonzaga’s sister, Alex in “Uber”, which will air from Mondays to Fridays (Saudi Arabia) and Tuesdays to Saturdays (Australia, Guam, New Zealand and Japan) via TFC.



Prats says, “We were surprised by our chemistry in ‘Uber.’ We took on certain roles that were developed only while we were doing the show. Our personalities really jived. The fact that they are bringing ‘Uber’ back only means that we did something successful in the previous seasons.”

Domingo attributes their chemistry from being former PBB housemates who can relate to the happenings inside the PBB house. Domingo was the second placer in PBB second teen edition, while Gonzales and Prats joined the PBB first celebrity edition.



“Other people would not ever understand what the housemates go through, only ex-housemates can. It is always wonderful to bring back our memories inside the house,” Domingo said.

The younger Gonzaga, meanwhile, shared she is beyond enthusiastic to be part of the PBB family because she has been a huge fan of the show since the first season. “I am happy that I am part of PBB’s comeback. I enjoy watching it because as a person, I am a natural ‘chismosa,’ (gossiper) so before I would always ask Ate Toni what happened in the confession room or what was not shown on TV,” Gonzaga revealed.



Viewers and followers of the show are also expected to get even more involved in the show with its highly interactive components on social media.

“PBB All In” also made history by staging Philippine television’s first ever multi-platform auditions, drawing thousands of aspiring housemates in its on-ground auditions in different parts of the country as well as in other countries through TFC plus as well as online auditions.
