Emilio Daez is proving that leaving the “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” house doesn’t mean the end of the spotlight—it’s just the beginning.
Since his eviction on April 27, 2025, alongside Kapuso star Michael Sager, Emilio has seen an unprecedented surge in fame, cementing his status as a breakout star.
Among all housemates, both evicted and still inside the house, the Kapamilya actor has recorded the largest social media growth, gaining over 300,000 followers on Instagram and a staggering 800,000 on TikTok. Fans, affectionately dubbing the duo “MiLi,” have rallied behind their partnership, with many noting their refreshing comfort with their sexuality—a trait that has fueled calls for a Boys’ Love (BL) project featuring the pair.
The chemistry between Emilio and Michael, evident during their PBB stint, has sparked widespread support for a potential BL series, with fans frequently alluding to a Philippine remake of the Thai hit “Bad Buddy.”

At the recent Star Magic Spotlight PressCon, Emilio addressed the buzz head-on. When asked if he’d be open to a BL project with Michael, he responded with enthusiasm: “I think, whatever opportunities come to us, we will do 100%. Michael and I are very open, and of course, very professional, so, whatever opportunities are in front of us, we will always say ‘yes.’”
His statement echoes the determination he shared upon exiting the PBB house: “This is just the beginning. I’m stepping into what’s next with even more heart, more fire, and even more love for what I do. The dream continues, and I’m ready for it.”
Emilio’s prospects are indeed bright. He’s already landed his first major role in iWantTFC’s upcoming series Love At First Spike, a milestone that signals the start of what could be a prolific career. Industry insiders hint at more projects in the pipeline, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation of a MiLi-led BL series.
The duo’s eviction may have shocked viewers—garnering only 29.12% of the save votes—but it has undeniably catapulted Emilio into a new echelon of fame.
As he navigates this wave of support, Emilio Daez is poised to become one of the Philippines’ most beloved stars, with his partnership with Michael Sager lighting the way.
