The Kapamilya PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0 ex-housemates made their first special appearance at the Spotlight Presscon last March 18. 
For over two decades, Bahay ni Kuya has served as a platform that highlights stories and emerging personalities, making it a staple in Philippine television. In PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0 edition, it once again opens its doors to aspiring Kapamilya artists, offers a glimpse into their journeys and reveals their authentic selves to audiences nationwide. 
Reich Alim expressed heartfelt gratitude as she reflected on the opportunities that came her way during and after her stint as a housemate. She shared, “Thank you so much for opening doors that I never thought that I would go through this early in my life. Maraming maraming salamat po talaga sa opportunity you gave me even inside the house.” 
The experience also became a space for self-discovery among the housemates. For Eliza Borromeo, her time inside the house led her to a deeper understanding of her self-worth, guided by the constant reassurance of Kuya. She shared, “Ang dami po talagang time sa bahay na pinanghihinaan po ako ng loob pero si kuya po hindi po siya nagkulang sa pagpapa-alala sakin na kailangan ko pong magtiwala sa sarili ko…Ayun po talaga yung binaon ko po hanggang dito po paglabas.” 
Carmelle Collado’s vibrant energy stood out throughout the entire Star Magic Spotlight presscon. “Ako po siguro na ma-maintain ko po siya [energy] kasi miss ko po talaga yung mga tao…Yung stay ko po sa bahay ni Kuya parang hinahanap ko po yung sigawan, yung kumusta sakin ng mga tao…” After her PBB stint, Carmelle is already taking the next step in her career, with a new milestone under her belt—the release of her first solo single, a revival of the classic OPM ballad, Stay.
Carmelle is also set to take on a bigger stage as she joins the upcoming North American leg of Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino’s “Love, KimPau.” world tour this March and April. Through the tour, she looks forward to connecting with Filipino fans abroad as part of this highly anticipated international run.
Beyond reflecting on the full arc of their journey inside the house, the former housemates also turned their gaze forward, contemplating the paths that may soon unfold before them.
PBB Kapamilya boys Ińigo Jose, Rave Victoria, and Fred Moser were asked about their thoughts for a possible leading man role, Ińigo said “Syempre gusto ko namang i-explore na role is RomCom…I’m just excited for what’s to come po.”
Rave shared: “When it comes to projects, siguro po gusto ko pong maging leading man at saka heavy drama po yung gusto ko.”
Meanwhile, Fred shared a similar aspiration with Ińigo: “Ako talaga I wanna be a leading man syempre and RomCom of course kasi yun talaga yung genre na I’m most looking forward to.”
2026 marks a promising start for the Kapamilya ex-housemates, as their optimism and strong sense of relatability continue to resonate with audiences. With a steadily growing fanbase drawn to their authenticity, their respective careers are now about to flourish.
