PBB Gen 11 Advisory: Kanata Tapia was not appeared in the Star Magical Christmas 2025 for being part of the INC

Mga Kaunforgettabolabolabol, we hope you enjoy our special coverage of the Star Magical Christmas 2025 on DRPS PHCA’s Facebook, Facebook Group, and X/Twitter, which featured all of the Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 ex-housemates yesterday, except Kanata Tapia, the ex-housemate of that edition, to discuss her non-appearance in the Star Magical Christmas 2025.

This post raises awareness and notifies the public of her non-appearance, and aims to prevent the spread of fake news and AI-generated photos claiming that she, Kanata, attended the Star Magical Christmas 2025, including last year’s installment (2024).

For those asking why she did not appear at the event, the answer is that the ex-housemate was known to be part of the Iglesia Ni Cristo religious community, and any part of the INC (known as “Kapatid”), like Kanata, is NOT ALLOWED to celebrate Christmas. Apart from Christmas, members of that religious group are also prohibited from celebrating other “pagan” events like Easter (Semana Santa or Holy Week), Valentine’s Day, and Halloween, but birthdays are allowed.

So please, do not post comments or questions that Kanata attended the Star Magical Christmas 2025, or even fake and misleading AI-generated photos claiming that “she attended the event”. If you or someone you know who posted these on social media, please report them to us.

Please be advised, mga Kaunforgettabolabolabol. Thank you.
