Kapamilya heartthrob Donny Pangilinan is setting hearts aflutter inside ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ — and he’s barely spent a day in Kuya’s house.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of Donny’s charming presence, especially after a video clip of him freshly woken up inside the house went viral. “Parang ang bango-bango niya,” exclaimed one fan online, echoing what many were clearly thinking. From his tousled hair to his relaxed smile, Donny’s off-duty look gave fans a glimpse into the actor’s boy-next-door appeal.
“Parang ang cute-cute ni Donny sa PBB,” another fan commented. Even celebrity watchers couldn’t help but gush, jokingly wishing their grandchildren had showbiz dreams so they could create a launch movie for them — just to work with someone like Donny.

The 26-year-old actor entered the iconic house not as a full-fledged housemate, but as a special guest messenger. His task? To deliver heartfelt messages from the outside world to the celebrity housemates. But more than the mission, Donny shared that he was equally excited to connect with the housemates on a deeper level.
“I want to get to know more about them kasi ‘yung medyo kakilala ko lang talaga doon ay si Esnyr. Siya ‘yung medyo ka-close ko, but the other housemates ay hindi pa,” Donny said. “This is an opportunity for me to get to know them and their stories, but at the same time, feeling ko mas makikilala ko ‘yung sarili ko.”
Donny’s entry couldn’t have come at a better time, especially for fans still reeling from the eviction of the popular “MiLi” duo — Michael Sager and Emilio Daez. His arrival brought back the kilig, with viewers now glued to every scene he’s in — whether he’s bonding with fellow housemates or simply lounging shirtless (yes, fans took note).
