For the first time in ‘Pinoy Big Brother’s’ (PBB) two-decade history, the show will air on GMA Network.
Titled ‘Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Collab,’ the newest season premieres on March 9, 2025, marking a historic partnership between media giants GMA Network and ABS-CBN.
The announcement was made during the ‘Chika Minute’ segment of ’24 Oras’ on Monday. Patricia Tumulak confirmed that Gabbi Garcia will be the Kapuso host for the show, joining long-time ‘PBB’ hosts Robi Domingo and Bianca Gonzalez.
During a recent episode of ‘All-Out Sundays’, Gabbi expressed her excitement about the opportunity to be part of this milestone project.
“This is history, and I’m happy to be part of history,” she shared enthusiastically.
Gabbi also revealed that her connection to ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ goes back to 2012, when she auditioned for ‘PBB Teen Edition Season 4.’ Now, more than a decade later, she steps into the spotlight as one of the hosts for the reality show’s groundbreaking edition.
The upcoming Celebrity Edition will feature a mix of housemates from GMA Network’s Sparkle and ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, uniting Kapuso and Kapamilya stars inside Kuya’s house. This edition is part of PBB’s 20th-anniversary celebration, making it a monumental event in Philippine television history.
This collaboration follows a series of high-profile partnerships between GMA Network and ABS-CBN, including the successful 2023 drama ‘Unbreak My Heart’ and GMA Network’s airing of ABS-CBN’s noontime show ‘It’s Showtime’ on GTV.
The announcement has ignited excitement on social media, with fans speculating on which celebrities will join the ‘PBB’ house. Many are looking forward to the potential dynamics between Kapuso and Kapamilya personalities, making this season one of the most anticipated in ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ history.
Since its debut in 2005, ‘PBB’ has remained a staple of Philippine entertainment, producing iconic stars and unforgettable moments. With the ‘Celebrity Edition Collab’, the show aims to deliver fresh twists, intense challenges, and emotional stories that fans have come to love.
‘Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Collab’ is expected to draw in massive viewership as it brings together the best of both networks.
