In last week’s newsletter, we shared information about the first eight Kapuso housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0, the third collaboration season of Pinoy Big Brother between ABS-CBN and GMA, with all of its housemates being part of the Kapuso network’s talent agency, Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
And when it comes to ABS-CBN and its talent agency, Star Magic, you might not know about the first eight housemates, including Robbie Jaworski, Nathan Garcia, Cianne Dominguez, Gehlee Dangca, Shea Valerio, Calix Esguerra, Jeo Ong, and Primo Alterado, who entered the house two weeks ago, all of whom are also part of the Kapamilya-backed talent agency.
Robbie Jaworski, the Dedicated Son of Pasig, is one of the VJs of Myx who joined together with Eya Almamari, Ella Regudo, Kring Prologo, Ozzie Llige, and Jarren Garcia, and is a TV and film actor known for Meet, Greet & Bye, The Alibi: Ang Buong Katotohanan, and The Loyalty Game: Level Up. He is the grandson of basketball legend and former senator Robert Jaworski and has connections with the Cojuangco family. The Kapamilya heartthrob also hosted MYX Daily Top 10 and Y Speak 2.0.
Nathan Garcia, the Hustling Swag Stunner of Cebu, is one of the newest additions to the roster of artists from Star Magic. On June 26, 2026, he, together with Coach Me Maybe star Rhianna Santiago (for their interview), alongside several young Star Magic artists, appeared at the Star Magical Prom 2026.
Cianne Dominguez, the Madlang Babe of Antipolo, previously won It’s Showtime’s pageantry contest segment, Sexy Babe, and became one of the hosts of the said Kapamilya noontime variety show. Less than two months before PBB Collab 3.0 premiered, Star Music P-Pop group WRIVE teamed up with Cianne for a fresh, contemporary take on the hip-hop classic Sumayaw Ka, popularized by Gloc-9, and produced and arranged by Darren Cashwell and group member Russu Laurente.
Gehlee Dangca, the Darling K-Pop Idol of Las Piñas, is a former member of the K-Pop girl group UNIS, which was disbanded in September 2026, and a singer-songwriter behind her solo single Closer, released under Universal Records Philippines a few days before her entry into the PBB house.
Shea Valerio, the Miss Ma-Beauting Anak of Rizal, is an academic achiever and pageantry queen known for Binibining Rizal 2025 Tourism.
Calix Esguerra, the Rampanalong Apo of Pampanga, is a pageantry king known for Misters of Filipinas’ Mister Teen of the Year and a model.
Jeo Ong, the Adventure Boy-Next-Door of Palawan, is a content creator and actor who also appeared in Esnyr Ranollo’s 54-minute online film, First Day High. He also completed senior high school, is a basketball, football, and skateboard player, and a co-owner of a family clothing brand.
Primo Alterado, the Kwelang Creator of Taguig, like Jeo, is a content creator known for his artistry in comedy and upbeat persona.
Now, with all 16 housemates currently inside, and with the news that the first set of nominees will be revealed tomorrow, as well as the results of their weekly task involving the creation of a vertical drama series, what will be the next happenings for the housemates you’re still rooting for in PBB Collab 3.0?
What’s next for PBB Gen 11?
