Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition is the third celebrity season and the eighteenth overall season of the Philippine reality show Pinoy Big Brother. It premiered on March 9, 2025, on GMA Network. It is the first season to air on GMA and the first full celebrity edition season to air since 2008. Furthermore, this is the first season of Pinoy Big Brother to not air on ABS-CBN's domestic television channels: Kapamilya Channel and A2Z. The season features celebrities signed to the talent agencies Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center as housemates.

Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee, and Alexa Ilacad return as hosts of the season, with newcomers Gabbi Garcia and Mavy Legaspi joining the show.

Development

[edit]

On January 27, 2025, during a broadcast of the newscast 24 Oras, actress-presenter Iya Villania announced that the new season of Pinoy Big Brother would air on GMA Network, marking the franchise's debut broadcast on the network.[1] As series' third celebrity edition, subtitled Collab, the season's cast would be composed of artists from the talent agencies Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center.[2] The following day, a contract signing between the executives from ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network was held in Quezon City.[3] Principal photography commenced on March 9, 2025.[4]

Hosts from the previous seasons—Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee and Alexa Ilacad—all reprised their roles.[5] Two talents from GMA—Gabbi Garcia and Mavy Legaspi—joined the roster of hosts on February 9 and 21, respectively.[6][7]

Release

[edit]

The season premiered on March 9, 2025, on the network's Sunday night line up.[8] Episodes air on GMA Network during weeknights at 10:05 PM (PST) on the network's Prime line up, and weekends at 6:15 PM (PST).[9] Aside from its television broadcast, the season also airs online through Kapuso Stream, Kapamilya Online Live[a] and iWantTFC.[10]

A companion show, Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition Updates, hosted by Garcia, airs every Monday to Friday twice on GMA—first before the timeslot of TiktoClock and second before Family Feud.[11] A digital companion show, Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition OnlineVerse,[12] airs every Saturday during the commercial gap on Kapuso Stream and Kapamilya Online Live.[citation needed]

The show did not air on April 17 to 19, 2025 due to the Holy Week special programming from Maundy Thursday until Black Saturday.

Theme songs

[edit]

"Sikat Ang Pinoy" (English: Filipinos Are Famous) was reinterpreted for the fourth time in the franchise's history, with a new version performed by Darren Espanto and Julie Anne San Jose.[13] It was officially introduced during the season's opening on March 9, 2025, marking its first live performance.[14] Meanwhile, "Pinoy Ako" (English: I'm a Filipino) remained the primary theme for the show's musical scoring. Espanto’s single, "Paalam Muna Sandali" (English: Goodbye for a Moment), was selected as the eviction song for the season.[15]

Format

[edit]

Deviating from the usual the format of the show, duo housemates, acting as one, will nominate two other duos for eviction, with the first receiving three points and the second receiving one point. The top three duos (or more if there is a tie) with the most nomination points will be put forward for public vote. Furthermore, Big Brother has the authority to grant immunity or an automatic nomination to a housemate, primarily due to twists or violations. A nomination round may be paused due to pending tasks, challenges, or twists.

Twists

[edit]
  • The meaning of the Collab twist:
    • Sparkle and Star Magic artists: For the first time in Pinoy Big Brother history, Sparkle artists competed alongside Star Magic artists.
    • Duos: In this season, housemates compete in duos. On Day 2, the housemates were instructed to pair themselves with one another, with each pair consisting of a Star Magic and Sparkle housemate. As part of the format, these pairs will compete, nominate, strategize, or be evicted together throughout the season until the finale, where a duo will be named a winner. These pairs will be shuffled until a certain point during the season.[16] The introduction of this twist marks a significant change in the show's format, a first in its 20-year history.[17]
      • Duo Formation: Duos are frequently formed by randomly pairing housemates through tasks and challenges. These pairings may change periodically, requiring housemates to adapt to new dynamics.
      • Duo Battles: Starting from the second nomination cycle, the duos competed against each other for immunity in the upcoming nomination round.
  • Partnership with Maya: Maya retained its partnership with Pinoy Big Brother, which was carried over from Gen 11, as the season's official finance and voting partner, with the following twists inserted into the season:
    • Save or Spend Weekly Task: In the event that the housemates win their weekly task beginning in Week 2, they will be able to manage their weekly budget, which will be deposited through Maya. If they succeed in their weekly task, they will receive ₱50,000; otherwise, they receive ₱30,000. Housemates have two options: they can spend a portion of their weekly budget for the week or save it and watch it grow with an interest rate of up to 15% (potentially growing to ₱200,000). Unlike in Gen 11, where the amount was given to the housemate who won a challenge, the amount for this season will be determined at a later date and donated to a charity of the housemates' choice.
    • Vote to Save: Voting is still done through the Maya app. Unlike Gen 11, which only gave 15 chances to vote per voting day (except for the penultimate and finale weeks of Gen 11, which allowed unlimited votes), this season gives 30, which is double the original amount.
  • Immunity Shield: First unveiled on Day 9, the Immunity Shield necklace grants the wearer immunity for the following nomination round.[18]
  • Eviction Room: Also carried over from Gen 11, originally named "Big Brother's Gameroom", instead of the usual announcements in the living area, this season's eviction callout will be a head-to-head, with two nominated housemates entering the eviction room and the host announcing the results. In the event that there are even-numbered or more than three nominees, the first safe will be named in the living area before the two nominees are determined, after which they will proceed to the eviction room, where one will be saved and will return to the house and the other will be evicted.[19]

Housemates

[edit]

On March 9, 2025, fifteen celebrity housemates entered the house. The first seven to enter were artists from Sparkle, followed by seven artists from Star Magic.[20] Sparkle artist Michael Sager was the last one to enter that night.[4] On March 18, 2025, Bianca de Vera of Star Magic entered the house.[21] On March 30, 2025, Emilio Daez of Star Magic and Vince Maristela of Sparkle were the 17th and 18th housemates to enter the house.[22] On April 13, 2025, Xyriel Manabat of Star Magic and Shuvee Etrata of Sparkle became the last two housemates to enter the house.[23]

A total of twenty people entered the house, ten each from two agencies, the most number of housemates in a celebrity edition of Pinoy Big Brother.

Houseguests

[edit]
  • Day 1: Star Magic actress and vlogger Ivana Alawi entered the house during the premiere night. Big Brother gave her a secret task, wherein she has to convince all the housemates that she is a housemate. She was also tasked to give gifts to three housemates.[26] Host Mavy Legaspi was also required to stay in the house during the end of the premiere night as a consequence for failing a task he and fellow hosts, Gabbi Garcia, Alexa Ilacad and Melai Cantiveros, received from Big Brother.[27] Alawi left the house on Day 7 while Legaspi left the house on the night of Day 5.[28][29]
  • Day 14: Host Gabbi Garcia entered the house to initiate her in her role as a new host.[30] She left the house on Day 17.[31]
  • Day 21: Sparkle actress and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee entered the house for mentoring the housemates about addressing long-standing misconceptions. Dee also mentored the housemates for ramp modelling for the Rampa Apmar weekly task.[19] She left the house on Day 24.
  • Day 28: Sparkle actress Sanya Lopez entered the house as she became a searcher for a dating game. She also promoted her upcoming film Samahan ng mga Makasalanan (transl. Fellowship of the Sinful).[33]
  • Day 30: Sparkle actor Ji Soo entered the house.[34] He left the house on Day 32.

Tasks

[edit]

Weekly tasks

[edit]

Big Brother will assign weekly tasks to the housemates to test their group dynamics, cooperation, and camaraderie. The weekly budget is at stake for passing or failing the weekly tasks.

Task title and description Result
1 March 11
(Day 3)

The housemates and houseguests (in duos) must use two giant batteries to continually light a "big star" by placing them in correct contact points placed throughout the frame in front of the said star. The housemates and houseguests must only make eight mistakes or less in the said task. Once a duo (a member or both) makes a mistake, they will no longer be allowed to participate in the weekly task.[36]

Unbeknownst to the housemates, if they successfully complete the task within the final sixty minutes, Big Brother will donate ₱60,000.00 (US$1,045) to a charity.[28]

Passed[37]
2 March 19
(Day 11)
One-shot Wonder
The housemates must create and produce a short film which features Esnyr's nine characters in each of the different scenes and locations. To win the task, the housemates must create a smooth one-shot film with a timeframe between 18 minutes and 18 minutes and 59 seconds without mistakes.[38]
Failed[WT 1]
3 March 22
(Day 14)
Pinoy Big Pares
The housemates must prepare, cook, and sell two different kinds of food (they chose pares and tokwa't baboy) for two consecutive days (March 27 and 28), from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. To win the task, the housemates must double the amount of investment from ₱20,000.00 (US$350) capital.[39]
Passed
4 March 31
(Day 23)
Rampa Apmar
Housemates had to walk down (rampa) a very narrow runway backwards (apmar) during a fashion show at the end of the week. Each housemate needed to design and model two types of clothes: a cloak that contains misconceptions about the housemate and an innerwear that reveals who they really are. They were only allowed to make a maximum of five mistakes[WT 3] during the fashion show, with the mistake being going out of bounds.
Failed[WT 4]
5 April 8
(Day 31)
Twin Towers of Love
The housemates, divided into two groups, must stack a tower of cups five-feet tall on a suspended platform with a half-heart base. The two groups must carry the platforms to the middle of the pool and bring them together to form the heart. To win, the housemates should be able to build the towers and form the heart in 100 minutes. Furthermore, the heart should remain whole for 10 seconds.[WT 5]
Passed
6 April 14
(Day 37)
When You Say Nothing at All
The housemates will lose 20 hours (from their total time) if one of them makes a mistake while speaking. They can choose whether or not to speak, but only one group (male or female housemates) may speak at a time. If the female housemates are speaking, the male housemates cannot speak, and vice versa. Additionally, they must signal speaking restrictions using a traffic light system: red light indicates male housemates cannot speak, yellow light indicates female housemates cannot speak, and green light indicates all housemates may choose not to speak.
Failed
Notes
  1. ^ Although the video's length (18 minutes and 25 seconds) was within the time limit, the housemates committed 3 mistakes. These include the reflection of housemates not involved in the current scene or of the cameraman being seen in the mirror and a housemate getting caught in a different scene.
  2. ^ On the second day, the task leaders requested more stocks since their supplies were running low. These stocks are worth ₱3,098.00 (US$54). Therefore, the total investment to be doubled by the housemates is ₱23,098.00 (US$403).
  3. ^ Big Brother clarified that all mistakes made by a single housemate will be treated as one mistake for the weekly task.
  4. ^ Except for Josh, Michael, and Will, all of the housemates committed a mistake, leading to a total of 13 mistakes, with everyone from the second group committing a mistake.
  5. ^ Since Ji-Soo was able to deliver three hugot lines for the P-drama task, the housemates were able to remove a total of three layers across both towers.

Duo formation tasks

[edit]

Duos are often formed wherein all housemates are randomly paired through tasks and challenges. These pairings can change periodically, forcing housemates to adapt to new dynamics.

Other tasks

[edit]

In addition to weekly tasks, Big Brother can assign additional ones, which fall into five categories:[citation needed]

  • Daily tasks are routine activities that housemates can complete and may be transferred to anyone by Big Brother.
  • Secret tasks require a housemate to complete a mission without informing the others.
  • Reward tasks can belong to any category and must be completed to earn a reward.
  • Special tasks are assignments given by Big Brother or suggested by housemates with his approval.
  • Punishment tasks are given to any individual or several housemates as a form of penalty for violating the house rules.

Some tasks may influence house activities and may create competition among the housemates. In certain cases, sponsors may provide specific tasks, allowing housemates to win luxury rewards through competitions, tasks, or challenges.[citation needed]

Notes

Klarisse De Guzman comes out as bisexual

[edit]

In an episode aired on April 2, 2025, Klarisse De Guzman publicly came out as bisexual. During a task where housemates shared personal stories, De Guzman revealed that she had been in a same-sex relationship with her partner, Trina, for four years. She expressed her pride and relief, stating, "I’m so happy and I’m so proud of myself that I’m finally out." Although her family had been aware of her sexuality, this marked the first time De Guzman shared her truth publicly. She acknowledged her previous fear of judgment and the potential impact on her career but emphasized the freedom she now felt. The revelation was met with widespread support from her fellow housemates and viewers.[60]
