Another Unforgettabolabolabol moment for all fans of these favorite Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 Housemates! Some of the ex-housemates of PBB Gen 11 who were previously nominated in the ANAK TV’s Net Makabata Star 2025 have won this prestigious award on the awarding day recently.
That means JM Ibarra, Fyang Smith, Kai Montinola, and Rain Celmar had won this award, along with the other Filipino artists and Pinoy Big Brother current and former housemates, including Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 1.0 and 2.0’s Brent Manalo, Mika Salamanca, Marco Masa, Caprice Cayetano, and many others.
JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith are widely known for their latest iWant offering in the second half of 2025, titled Ghosting, with their second part of the series, dubbed “Deja-BOO!”, which premiered last November 1, 2025, as part of the success of the first part of the series, and with the release of its spin-offs, like “Final Ghostination” and “Girly Pop Diaries” with more spine-tingling twists and heartfelt moments that the second part of the series has to offer for all subscribers of iWant’s Basic and Premium Plan. They are also seen on ASAP every Sunday at noon. The series also dropped its official merchandise for pre-order on Shirts and Prints PH’s Shopee and Lazada marketplaces.
Kai Montinola (as Ice) is widely known for ABS-CBN Studios and Dreamscape Entertainment’s latest primetime offering of late 2025, “ROJA” (transl. “Red”), which starred Donny Pangilinan (as Liam) and Kyle Echarri (as Olsen), and for which Pangilinan and Echarri also won the ANAK TV Net Makabata Star Award. The said TV Series, airing and streaming on weeknights at 20:45 on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, Jeepney TV (delayed), and Kapamilya Online Live, was among the top shows on Netflix Philippines and on iWant. It was also streamed by over 505-thousand concurrent viewers on Kapamilya Online Live last November 25, 2025, a day after its on-air premiere (November 24, 2025).
She was also among the nominees of Wish 107.5’s 11th Wish Music Awards for her song “For You”, in the Wish Ballad Song of the Year Category. The voting lines for this prestigious award opened on November 20, 2025, via the Wish 107.5 App and its website (voting lines will close on January 2, 2026, at 12:00).
Rain Celmar is widely known for her recent Debut EP Album, under the title of “b luvd”, released last May 30, 2025, with over 6.32 million streams on Spotify (as of December 2, 2025). She also played the role of Olivia Alcantara in an iWant Series, “Love At First Spike”, in which all eight (8) episodes are available for streaming for free since November 2025 via the iWant App and Website, and since December 2025 on the streaming service’s YouTube Channel, for a limited time.
But a few days before this, at the time when Rain Celmar celebrated her 19th Birthday last November 29, 2025, during the BINIfied Concert held at the Philippine Arena, the artist, along with the other two (2) PBB Gen 11 alums, Therese Villamor and Marc Nanninga, were among the trainees of Star Magic’s Star Hunt Academy 2025, in which the trainees will have a chance to be part of the next P-Pop Group, equivalent to BGYO and BINI. The other details about this will become available in the future on ABS-CBN, Star Magic, Star Hunt, and Star Hunt Academy’s social media pages.
