The exciting collaboration was announced on GMA’s news program “24 Oras” where "Chika Minute" host and entertainment reporter, Iya Villania, dropped the big news with a thrilling headline, “Pinoy Big Brother is coming to GMA!”
The host went inside the house’s confession room and spoke to Kuya who revealed the details of the new season.
“Sa susunod na pagbubukas ng aking bahay, mga bituin ang aking patutuluyin. Ang mga housemates na magsasama sa isang bubong ay mga Kapuso stars mula sa Sparkle at Kapamilya artists mula sa Star Magic (I will be welcoming celebrities into my home. The housemates will be coming from Kapuso stars from Sparkle and Kapamilya stars from Star Magic).”
Kuya also revealed that the “PBB Celebrity Edition Collab” will air for the very first time on GMA. The official contract signing between the two networks is scheduled for Jan. 28 and will be broadcast live via the show and networks’ Facebook pages and YouTube channels.
The reality show broadcasted on ABS-CBN in 2005 gathers people from different walks of life to live inside a house for a certain period and compete in various challenges. The show has been loved by Filipino viewers nationwide and has seen many editions through the years. Many of the brightest Kapamilya stars made their start as housemates including Kim Chui, Melai Cantiveros, James Reid, and Maymay Entrata to name a few.
