A fresh batch of stars has stepped out of the PBB house, ready to make their mark in showbiz. After living under one roof and sharing their real stories with the public, these former housemates are now embracing new opportunities beyond Kuya’s home, bringing with them the lessons, growth, and connections they built inside.
The Kapamilya PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0 ex-housemates recently gathered for their first major appearance at the Spotlight Press Conference held on March 18. Their presence marked the beginning of a new chapter, as they officially reintroduced themselves to the public outside the walls of Bahay ni Kuya.
For more than twenty years, the PBB house has been a space where ordinary individuals transform into recognized personalities. It has consistently showcased genuine stories and raw emotions, making it a constant favorite among Filipino viewers. In this Celebrity Collab 2.0 edition, the show once again welcomed aspiring Kapamilya talents, allowing audiences to witness their personal journeys and authentic selves unfold.
Reich Alim looked back on her experience with deep appreciation, acknowledging how the show opened unexpected doors in her life. She expressed sincere thanks for the opportunities she received, both during her stay and after leaving the house, emphasizing how early these blessings came into her career.
The PBB journey also became a turning point for self-growth among the housemates. Eliza Borromeo shared how her time inside helped her rediscover her confidence. During moments of doubt, she found strength through Kuya’s constant reminders to believe in herself—something she continues to carry with her even after leaving the house.
Carmelle Collado brought a lively presence to the entire Star Magic Spotlight presscon, reflecting the same energy she showed inside PBB. She admitted that she misses the environment in the house — the noise, the people, and the daily interactions. Now, she’s taking big steps forward, including the release of her debut solo single, a revival of the OPM classic “Stay.”
Adding to her growing list of achievements, Carmelle is set to join the North American leg of Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino’s “Love, KimPau.” world tour happening this March and April. She shared her excitement about meeting Filipino fans abroad and being part of a major international production.
While reflecting on their time inside Bahay ni Kuya, the former housemates are also setting their sights on what lies ahead. The Kapamilya boys—Iñigo Jose, Rave Victoria, and Fred Moser—shared their aspirations for future roles, particularly their interest in becoming leading men.
Iñigo expressed his desire to explore romantic comedy roles, saying he is eager to try new opportunities that come his way. Rave, on the other hand, is drawn to more intense projects, hoping to take on heavy drama roles while also aiming to become a leading man. Fred echoed Iñigo’s interest, sharing his enthusiasm for romcom projects, which he considers his preferred genre.
As 2026 unfolds, these former housemates are stepping into a promising phase of their careers. With their relatable personalities and growing fanbase, they are well-positioned to thrive in the industry. Their journey from the PBB house to the spotlight is only just beginning — and there’s much more ahead for this new breed of Kapamilya stars.
